29 Euros to travel in that kind of quiet and comfort seems good to me! Ok it is not the newest train, trim is a little tired in places and the bright green everywhere looks cheap. But anyone who lives in the UK knows you can pay a lot more than £29 to travel half that distance on trains that aren't even half as fast or 1/4 as nice as this!

I think Thalys and Eurostar should combined there operations and become one company because then there would be a lot more services to more destinations

Nice to see the old girl saved from scrap. Shame lots weren't so lucky and are in the big depot in heaven 🤕

They should have recycled all the scrapped ones. They all deserved it. Even the abandoned Eurostar.

Think you will find these old Eurostar trains actually have more room than the new ones? As someone from the north of England I am quite jealous, on my local line they still use "Pacer" trains, you would not believe how bad they are unless you have travelled on one. Thanks for the film.

1:15 buzz lightyear themed train

8:00 yes, because it's always a good idea to stick your fingers in the power socket.

Oh yes!! this is my train tu brussels, what a memories!! thank you ... such times! full of joy and cafes full of smoke, wine and songs

Very cool and good trip report. You explainex all important facts and Made sone jokes, very cool. Il like this train too.

Your videos are my favourite. When I don't know what to watch, I watch your videos! Keep up the hard work! 🙂🙂

Absolutely loved this trip report. Great and very funny and also informative comments. Subscribed!

Excellent trip report! The look/price/ and timing seemed like a great deal...Thanks for sharing !!! :):):)

Somehow, I already knew that this was a low-cost train. I always assume that any planes or trains with a cheap looking but bright colourful livery is a low-cost carrier. Lol. No hate though. I'm a big fan of anything low-cost. Back in the days only rich people could travel and I believe that anyone should travel and low-cost carriers offer that opportunity for anyone to get out and travel and visit different places. I only wish that there would be more low-cost carriers. Hopefully in the future and years to come, the lowcosts will be dominant.

Not perfect but seems like a great value for the price. Clever of them to sell the little jump seats by the doors for 10 euro. Pretty noisy but like you said, a good deal if you're broke.

What?! I didn't know about this train. :O Also, it's barely spring and at 8 PM the sun is still out, that's impressive! ♥

That livery looks so lit 🔥

IZY has a lot of potential. It's a shame that right now they're restricted to just Paris Gare du Nord to Brussels Zuid. If this service is successful I would expect to see IZY services to Amsterdam and Cologne. There's even the possibility of low cost services to London especially because they use old Eurostar sets which means they can already use the channel tunnel. IZY could become the Ouigo of northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands however it all depends on the success of this first route. But it's also obvious that if IZY is a failure Thalys won't lose too much money. They have clearly cheaped out on the set and have refurbished them quite cheaply as well. It's actually very clever

Nice video ! I’m more of a aviation fan but I like train trips to. They are very fun.

Encore, une vidéo superbe! J’ai appris quelque chose!

Thanks, good video! The first and last cars were for semi-business, I remember being upgraded once to the first car going to Paris. Also shame about the bar car, they could at least install some vending machines!

Another great video. I appreciate your humour.

My train line is the Transilien H. I live in Bessancourt. I saw my first IZY (tgv PBA) a few months ago. And yea its a huge variety of trains, its the biggest station of Europe (no joke). Nice video tho ;)

Thank you for the report. Well done!

Good to see not all the old eurostar trains went to scrap or just left to rot and I love waffles

Nicely done, mate!! Just a good trip report as always! I have a suggestion for a train trip: take the Thalys/ICE from Brussels to Cologne/Frankfurt and make from that train a new trip report! ;)

About trains in Norway, if you're up for breathtaking views, I recommend the long distance train from Oslo to Trondheim, or Oslo to Bergen. If you're up for high speed, Oslo to Gothenburg. If you just wanna ride the FLIRT, which goes only in the Oslo area, I recommend the city of Drammen, which is close to Oslo.

I love your train reports

Tres bien cette video! Merci! Grand Felicitations d‘Allemagne! 💕🇫🇷et 🇧🇪

I wasn't sure how long it would last when it first started, but they seem to have carved out a niche for themselves. The old Eurostar's showing its age a bit now though.

Thanks for a great report.

Eurostar could literally do the same thing for Paris to London routes. They already have British Air and Air France running for their money so why no do the same go EasyJet and Rynnair? Also, I think Thalys could remove the bar car and replace them with passenger cars (like Ouigo) to add more capacity.

It would and wouldn't be surprising to me if Hornby's next OO/HO scale Eurostar run (after the Yellow submarine Eurostar) would be this IZY Eurostar. Honestly it wouldn't be a bad fit.

Merci pour ta video ca me donne encore plus envie de prendre l'izy

Super vidéo 👏🏾

Hi from France Btw I miss so much this TER with the green Picardie logo on it

Certainly looks interesting in this livery.

You are awesome! subscribed!

Thank you for the video! Merci! Thumb up! What a great product for 10€!

i just subscribed because of your content being well put together! maybe try eurostar to london the next time?? great work as always!

Nice video!

Apparently, a new line opened not long ago called the "leman express" a TER service that goes to Switzerland. I guess something to replace the old line and the coral coaches.

Beau voyage bravo pour cet expérience

Super 💓😘

You should try Snälltåget from Berlin to Malmö. It is now the last remaining train-ferry service in northern Europe. But I have a feeling it will not be long before it disappears.

Hope they do this to all the other E300 trains

Nice video as usual. Good to see more low cost trains starting in Europe. The only thing which I personally dislike are the lengthy boarding procedures. I have a question though, what is the top speed of these trains on classic lines

Super video

izy train is high speed is good nice video 👍

I miss the classic Eurostar

I hope Thalys refurbish this to be well configured for the line. Possibly bring another one to help this 373

I thought all old Eurostar trains got scrapped because Eurostar had a deal that they had to be scrapped so they couldn’t be used in any way against them competition wise in the future?

To Infinity and Beyond!!!!!

Very good views

Hi! Your videos are very nice! I hope one day to come to Greece and review our trains!

YES YES YES Merci

0:55 I've got to say, my heart bled about your sandwich - profoundly upsetting, no doubt.

Foarte frumoasa Gara de Nord

10:22 Same chime from when these operated cross channel services from the UK with eurostar

So interrsting:D

I'd like to see an operation in the UK using HSTs & IC225s from Glasgow or Edinburgh to £67 standard class and £103 first class is a ridiculous price, The British railways network needs a service like IZY to rival domestic air services such as EasyJet, Ryanair and British Airways.

in Vietnam, you have to pay for approx. 55 Euros for a trip about that distance with a blazing speed of 65 kph, and the interior of those trains look like they were from the 50s'

She is old but beautiful n strong congrats for embellishing n serving thank u

I miss old 373 Izy eurostars! (;

Is that still in service? And if it is, is there an information on what times this train is riding. Since they were new I ever wanted to ride one of this original Eurostar Trains but never made until they went out of service with Eurostar. Would bei great to catch this one.

Bonne Vidéo

Even SNCF used to use ex-Eurostar 373s for their TGVs

The train you were on is the same train as the old Eurostar

The most saddest story i've ever heard😭😭😭😭😭 A subway sandwich is going cold. ☹️

You love the colour is green and purple. You took 373213 + 373214 is the former Eurostar train but I think 374s took over the 373s or maybe 373s still doing the service to London St Pancras International.

And the rail companies are also retiring electric units made in 1977-79

mais il est tout beau cet Euro star rénové bravo a eux l'idée est bonne

6:28 just what I wanted The monnalisa looking at me will piss

At least, the renovation for Ouigo is better. Here it’s just adding some flashy things.

Stickers on a 300 km/h train. Lol. As for the headrest I always put part of my jacket over it. Imagine how many people who left their head sweat on it....

Nice to experience the IZY coaches. Is your spelling checker on holiday too?

Awesome! Subscribed although I would rename the channel to "Simply Trains"! Simply Railway doesn't role off the tongue.

IZY is new to me. Looks like a 707 of trains...🤭 Funky colors but 1990s design.

Great value. It’s insane how much you have to pay for a ticket between Amsterdam and Brussels

Is it run on budget airline principles? Hence no bar.

Nice video! i would like to ask a question. Do these seats need reservation?

Nice vid, are these trains still in use

I really miss this service. I hope low-cost direct services return soon on this route. Much needed for broke people like me. 😢

Tehere vonderfull only train video nice gress woood the way on you best effect

Love your videos! Take the german ICE,they are very comfortable!

does someone check your passport when traveling by train?

Is there a limit for luggage size?

but the window curtains?

I'm surprised they already scrapped so many Eurostar trains. After all they're not that old. German ICE 1 trains were built in 1991 and are supposed to run another 10 years.

Would they make a class 374 IZY

So the toilets on ex-Eurostar are nothing better than portable toilets?

You put this in the UK Trains playlist lol

I wonder if izy owns an old e300 is it possible that they could potentially be able to operate to London. I’m just saying this as a possibility and I doubt they would do it but that train is capable of it right? After all it was used by Eurostar.

Don't know about France but in Austria eating hot and smelly food in Public transport is frowned upon. But since there's less and less restaurant cars I basically understand it....

What website do you buy ticket from?

Tu sais comment ça se passe pour le billet le moins cher où on n'est pas sûr d'avoir une place assise ?

hi, Thanks for sharing. I have questions. 1. How tall are you? The 2nd class seat pitch looks tight for you. 2. Does the 2nd class seat have a manual seat moving button? Thanks a lot

Tu pourais faire une video de l’interloire v200 ou le ter 200 alsace? :)

Now you just need to expand the network all across europe

Very budget but it gets the job done!

Train name is E300 Company Eurostar Used by TMST and SNCF
