Isn't that because transport in the US has been hijacked by the oil-lobby in the beginning of the 20th century? There was a lot of propaganda for other kinds of transport just after the steam train was developing to electric drive. Don't know for sure, just asking myself.. because mainly all transport in the US are cars and planes... which is fueled by petrol... oil.

My parents and I took a train trip from Milan to Geneva, then TGV from Geneva to Paris-Gare du Lyon way back in 1987. The Milan to Geneva section went through the Alps near Domodossola, skirted close to the Matterhorn, went along Lake Geneva, and was truly the most impressive rail trips I have ever been on. The TGV to Paris was an experience - the French did high speed very well even back then! - but it is almost too fast and sterile to truly be enjoyed. I was a kid but I remember the whole trip very clearly! It sure beats Amtrak's Northeast corridor for the sheer variety of scenery!

First class trains in China has fully lie flat bed, distance between 2 seats are about 2 meters, free food & drink and at 300Kms per hour you wont even hear the outside noise or train noise. It feels like you are floating in the air thats how smooth it is. Fast trains and special trains in Europe but in China its almost everywhere - you will see a bullet train passing your bullet train once every few minutes. It would be good if you can do a review of a bullet trains in China once the corona virus issue is over.

I tried to speak French but was treated poorly by the haughty waiter. He even refused to bring me the (French) menu, which I would've had no problem reading, I was forced to choose from only three items on an English menu.The waiter's surly attitude and the limited menu made the experience truly disappointing. I notice that the prices are MUCH higher now than they were when I ate there. Really enjoyed this video, Paul.

@@scotttild Scott- Our trains ARE slow, by modern standards. Amtrak's typical top speed is about 85 mph. That's slow, in this day and age, compared to Europe, regardless of the distances involved. There are several corridors in the United States that would benefit greatly from true high speed rail. High speed rail is not something that works if it's only done halfway. An example of halfway is the current Northeast Corridor between Boston and Washington. Amtrak has spent decades making incremental improvements at huge expense that have yielded only slightly faster schedules, overall. In large part, halfway is because we have not been willing to step up to the plate and really revise things. If the NE Corridor were on a par with the European approach, there'd be grass growing at some of the airports. So, San Fransisco to LA? If it's done properly people will use it, and many more than you may imagine. And those passengers would go from downtown to downtown, without driving to the airport, parking, going to the terminal and going through security.

TGV Lyria is much like Thalys or Eurostar, daughter companies of SNCF and one or more other railway carriers which are distinct from SNCF proper, own management and policies included. The TGV to Italy was similar, I believe, until Trenitalia got out of the cooperation. It's since rum by SNCF alone.

Train travel in Europe is amazing. So much to see and travelling first class is amazing. Travelled for two months by Europe in 1999 and travelled from Bergen all over to as far as Rome. Would do it again in a heartbeat

What app did you use for the train speed. Great video byw

@James-zs3vm 5 жыл бұрын

not sure I can answer your question, but if you were interested while on the TGV they do have monitors that display the current velocity of the train

Stefan Koelsch it is Italy . Public Architecture is taken very seriously. That’s why people feel the need to dress stylishly and Milan is a fashion centre.

I'm not sure inOui is low cost... I thought it was actually the new branding for TGV?

@freewal 5 жыл бұрын

You're right. There ie two offers for TGV : - InOui (prounouncded In We) : Two classes, Free WiFi in First Class, bar coach, Large seats even in second class, frequent and regular journey. - OuiGo (pronounced : We Go) which is a low cost service : unique class : no first class, no bar coach, , optional AC plug, limited luggages, no WiFi. Basically it's like a low cost air company.

Thanks a million for the very informative video, Paul. I'm visiting Milan in October but I've already booked flights. I'll definitely look at going by train next time!
