If it was something other than water you probably would have smelled that before even opening the door.

Yup lol. Either or, not pleasant.

Their locos remind me a bit of NJT's ALP-45's and newer ALP-45DP's here in Jersey.

Those are all TRAXX-locomotives from Bombardier (now Alstom). The american ones are directly derived from the european TRAXX 1 and 2. Likewise the ACS-64 is based on the european Siemens Vectron family.

It’s a shame the bathroom looked the way it did. Looks like there was water sloshing around in the sink, hopefully it was just that! Everything else looked well-kept, though! Great video!

The main problem is the lack of deceny of some individuals that ruins the trains cleaniless. It is not just the toilets, also in the seating areas people litter and vandalism allot. There allot of options to throw your trash asway in and outside the trains on platforms there are enough litter bins. Its really a shame and sometimes as a driver I feel disgust about it. I have huge respect for our subcontract cleaners that work every day very hard to try to keep the trains clean.

With the amount of litter bins available aboard the trains and on platforms, it should be clear where people should put their trash. It’s unfortunate that the littering and vandalism still occurs regardless. Props to the cleaners for their hard work.

The locomotive pulling your train looks similar to a NJ Transit ALP-46, are they made by the same manufacturer?

@RobloxianPZ123EE5 3 ай бұрын

Yes they use the same manufacturer BOMBARDIER if im correct

I like the station design in the Netherlands. Also the colour scheme used by NS. Would you happen to know why they don't use EMU's?

@LonestarTrips 4 ай бұрын

The locomotive hauled sets are being phased out in favor of the new NS IC Next Gen EMUs manufactured by Alstom.

I'll be coming to Breda later this year as international student . We can book train tickets online as international for Amsterdam airport to breda or can directly book after arriving? 🤔

@LonestarTrips 2 ай бұрын

You can do either. NS will allow you to book tickets through their website with no issues, or you can purchase tickets at the station when you arrive. I recommend the former as it will let you plan a little further in advance, plus you can guarantee a seat on your desired train.

Does anyone have a clue why they use 2 locos instead of the driving trailer? I sucpect that the high speed line is equipped with ETCS which the 186 can suport but it is not fitted to most older driving trailers. One 186 would be plenty strong enough for the whole train. The UWEX (a fast regional train between Ulm and Wendlingen in germany, which runs over a new high speed line as well) uses 2 Vectrons one each end for that reason despite having a driving trailer (which is only used for bycicle storage, lacking in the other german IC-coaches).

I have tried to type a comment twice, but due to the ads, my comments keep getting deleted. Yep, the ICRmh cabcars aren't compatible with the TRAXX and the ETCS system. But they used to just use 1 TRAXX + 7 ICRmh railcars during the FYRA era. This was prone to technical difficulties with the locomotive switches at Breda and Amsterdam.

@johansilwouden3403 4 ай бұрын

The driving trailers were constructed to work with the NS 1700 series locomotives. They can not operate with other types. Due to the age if the roling stick and it's upcoming replacement, they decided not to modify the driving trailers.

Instead of those commercial breaks, You should inform the viewers that a supplement MUST be payed between Rotterdam and Schiphol when using the High Speed Line! With an even higher rate during peak times!! No supplement payed, is considered having no ticket and a high fine can be applied !! And that you NOT have to pay the supplement between Breda and Rotterdam and NOT beween Schiphol and Amsterdam. By reviewing the same red seat twice ( did you really they would be different??), you missed the highlight of the route, the passing over the Hollands Diep on a bridge, higher than the oringinal one, next to it. A shot of the second class seating is missing too... If I see these mistakes in a video of my country, I can not trust the info on routes I do not know about. Therefore: subscribtion withdrawn. (P.S. Since 9 viaducts on the HSL had crackes found due to wrong installment, all trains are now only running at 120 km/u max between Schiphol and Rotterdam since januari 2024)
