Heres something you may find interesting. :) The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird ''turkey'', well let me explain. :) Name of my country has always been Turkiye, that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means ''land of/belonging to''... ...just like the Latin suffix -ia in such countries as Latv-ia, Roman-ia, Eston-ia, Austr-ia, Austral-ia etc etc. Another example; decades ago Czechoslovakia Republic changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia). Anyways, most likely the Latin -ia suffix was derived from the Turkish version -iye, as Turkish is much much older. Because in old times people of different languages could only pronounce it as their languages allowed them, we got various differences in spelling like Turchia (in Italian), Turquie (in French) and Turkey (in English) all trying to resemble the pronounciation of ''Turk-ia'' thus Turkiye. Mind you this was way BEFORE the animal we currently know as 'turkey'' was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas.... ...they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye at the time, so they named the bird ''Turkey Fowl'' meaning ''Turkish Chicken''..... ....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), Rhodesian Ridgeback (because it's from Rhodesia), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc. In time you don't get to call the Greek Harehound as simply as ''Greek''; or you don't call the British Terrier as ''British''; or the German Shepherd as ''German'', but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just ''turkey'', and has been going on for hundreds of years. Now in 2023, this is causing confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their OWN country on the atlas, this ''confusion over the naming'' needed to be corrected. So my country decided to rectify this confusion that has been going on for so long and corrected the name in other languages to Türkiye, which it always was, we basically didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : ) So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : ) Best wishes. ;)

Exactly 100 years ago, when Turkey was newly founded, the founder had a vision of transport that would connect the east to west, north to south as both routes are essentially difficult due to the mountainous ranges. That's the reason why TCDD (state railways) was founded and why we have a marching song called "10th. Year March" (to commemorate 10th year of the republic) where the lyrics explicitly say "we've woven the motherland with iron webs from four directions" implying the importance of the railways to the republic. Sadly, it took more than half a century for Turkish the governments to understand the importance of the railways again and invest in it. Atatürk had the right idea, sadly he passed away exactly 85 years and 3 days ago, couldn't complete what he dreamed of.

I study in Istanbul while my parents live at Adapazarı, and I am very grateful of our railway transit. It is way faster, more comfortable and cheaper compared to traveling by car. Although, the old trains are still at service and are much less comfortable than the new trains, the railroad is still my go to. I have also used the YHT (high speed rail) many times when I travelled to other cities, and I can only wish it was extended into more places. The main problem is that we don't have any big scale rail network beyond the century old istanbul-ankara line that all the major trains travel. It was a huge initiative of Atatürk to nationalize and expand the railways across Türkiye, but much of it is left to rot as cars and highways took priority.

The high-speed version of this train is currently being planning and will have a maximum/operation (I really don't remember which one) speed of 225 km/h and it will have some minor modifications on the exterior and interior. Probably because this train is a regional train, the quality of the materials in this train is a bit cheaper, but I think these materials will be of better quality in the high speed version.

The cars had comfortable seats and great heat in winter, but no A.C. It is great seeing newly built sets operate on this line.

In my case it was E44001, whereas you had E44002, so I assume there are now at least two of these sets in service. I wonder whether E44001 is still in this region, or whether it has been sent on test elsewhere in Turkey. My overall impression was that this is a good quality domestically-produced train, which would be ideal for some medium or long-distance services away from the YHT routes.

About the seat gender availability, we don't separate men and women in general but some women are less comfortable sharing a seat with a stranger male hence the policy popularized by itself in time, I believe Japan has similar policies as well but believe me, as a man I find it extremely annoying too since women doesn't necessarily pick seats next to other women while empty rows are available. Couples, friends/familes and willing strangers like in your case are completely fine sitting together issue is more about positive discrimination rather than a cultural norm. Thanks for the video, I loved the production quality and commentary. Cheers!

[@jinxedpenguin]

I actually don't think Japan has that policy, at least in the Shinkansen. They do have women only cars on transit but I don't recall JR ever caring about my gender (I could be wrong tho). The policy makes sense in that context though. It's like how I'd be annoyed if I lived in Japan and was on the subway and the women's only car was empty. But I'd get why it's there.

Very informative video for travelers and tourists who want to explore Turkiye by train. I like the vlog and thank you for taking an efforts to present Turkish train.

[@boraturkmen7679]

As a Turk, I can buy a ticket for the seat next to a woman's seat, and this is the first time i've heard of such a thing.

[@sirinsaidemre]

[@Zuuu40]

awesome video just 1 question did the train have WiFi on it?

[@onlineo2263]

Surely the train floor and the platform floor should be the same height. Then no steps in the train are needed.

[@AlchemistAH]

The views you got on this video are impressive

[@CIHANOZEL-ij6vd]

Why you did not take more long trip to Ankara or Eskişehir maybe

[@KatMarBax]

[@ekin1578]

Would you mind explaning why did you write "!!!! CHANGE IT !!!!" next to mithatpaşa station in the subtitles at 13:29 .

[@RWBHere]

The gap between train step and platform leaves a lot to be desired on a number of the journeys you've been taking. (I'm watching these in reverse order, because they will not play chronologically on this browser.)

[@LalehanLale]

it should not be a surprise, we used to manufacture long before...you are young...

[@irvin099]

[@muhammeddiloarhussain1701]

Turkey is doing very well.

[@mertbatuhanbayrak3577]

As for the comment at 6:46, I felt the urge to tell you about the Ankara-İzmir (the capital city and the third most crowded city of Türkiye) high speed train line, which was planned in 2013 and the government (still in power) broke the ground/began construction, promising to open in 2016. However, a tender was initiated only in 2020, the result of which was announced in December 2022. At first it was planned to cost $2.4 Billion (₺4.3 Billion), now it is planned to cost $2.55 Billion (₺47.1 Billion). Besides the loss of time, energy, financial resources after ten years there is still no high speed train line between the capital city and İzmir.

[@TheRealEnglishTeacher]

Izmir sucks, and the government is right to re-allocate those funds to other transportation projects across the rest of the country especially Eastern Turkey rather than Izmir and its demographics of the cockiest people in Western Turkey.

[@mahcem]

It is a very rough terrain to pass a railtrack through but you are right. There are no excuses. We should have built it already. I think there is a credit loan the Turkish government got from the UK for that project as well but I can't remember the full details.

[@merzto]

Even 10billion € would be cheap

[@TheSuperTiger2011]

Still better than the hs2 in the uk estimated to cost 70-90 billion pounds. That would be $100 billion.

[@meyermarzo9017]

Happy for Turkiye, keep up

[@somap8380]

Beautiful, smooth, 👍

[@orbit1894]

12:41 the thought behind it is, if a lady doesnt mind sitting next to a man its all good, hence any female can sit next to a man if the man got the seat first. But a man cant sit next to a lady because she may not want it if she got the seat first. So, females are prioritized here, however what they can do is that they can ask "are you okay with a male sitting next to you?" as they purchase the ticket online and if they say yes, you should be able to choose the seat.

[@JaiD0427]

E4400 has a top speed of 160 km/h - which classifies it at Semi-high speed trains.
