I create train trip reports on YouTube every week! Here to show the great side of train travel and advocate as much as possible for more trains… for the greater good 🚆🌍🌱 https://linktr.ee/simply_railway
They better 😋
Hurry up folks!
The Superliner won’t be here for long 👀

The YouTube train trip report game lately:
« TERRIBLE » « AWFUL » « RIP » « BRUTAL » in any single thumbnail or title.
Guys, what are we doing? Aren’t we supposed to promote train travel? Or scare people away?
#Allfortheclickbait
How it will kill economics ?
I love Superliner but having a standardized fleet across the network isn’t a bad decision imo. Sure I will miss these big coaches
After some wonderful time in the Tatras, it’s time to head back home to Berlin the same way I came yesterday, via the Euronight « Metropol » coming from Budapest! 🇭🇺
Nighty night 😴
@diningcar.at time 😍
Good morning from Slovakia 🇸🇰
My Euronight train was delayed by 10 minutes, leaving me with barely enough time to catch my connecting train at 06:15.
Fortunately, my connecting train was also delayed by 10 minutes, giving me ample time to catch my train to Poprad - Tatry 😎
Little weekend getaway from Berlin! 😍
Tonight I am off to Bratislava 🇸🇰 onboard the Euronight « Metropol » in a couchette compartment!
GEEZ its been almost three months since I’ve been on a night train, it’s been an eternity 😇
New video now live on YouTube!
This week we are traveling on yet another sleeper train from Istanbul 🇹🇷 to Sofia 🇧🇬 in a private sleeping car compartment!
That’s a video I did in partnership with the BBC Travel Show 👀

Tomorrow on the channel 👀
From Istanbul 🇹🇷 to Sofia 🇧🇬 by night train in a private sleeping car compartment! I was recording this trip alongside the BBC for a travel show about the Orient Express…
I can’t wait to tell you more about it tomorrow on YouTube 😎
I am tired of these endless nostalgic debate about night trains.
As @jonworth.eu mentioned it perfectly it’s endless bla bla bla about how night trains were great with no real plan to bring them back.
New video now live on YouTube! 🥳
This week we are taking a look at @europeansleeper.eu newest class, the « Comfort Standard » which is basically a couchette car cosplayed in a sleeper! 🛌 🚆
Come with me as I try this new accommodation between Amsterdam 🇳🇱 and Berlin 🇩🇪

Videos are back on YouTube folks! For this special event we’re looking at #TrenMaya newest train: P’atal specially made for long distances featuring two dining car (yes two) and a sleeper car (yes just one) 👀 🚆 🇲🇽 🛏️
An oddity that was worth trying!

France: « Why run trains on a Sunday? No one is traveling » 🤡
Meanwhile in Germany 🙄
I’d say so :)
I’d say so :)
China have some already :)
Highly disagree, you can’t scale up your operations, then there’s huge hurdle for certification, cross border operations etc etc etc…
The train is also equipped with two (yes, 2) dining cars. I am not sure why they want to have such a HUGE capacity for dining but not for sleeping.
I guess we will see in operations. There’s no debut date for these trains, but I am quite excited to spend a night onboard one of them!
Thread off ✌️
I wanted to see the sleeping accommodation on this new night train, the first in decades in this area, also made by Alstom (who haven’t produced any night trains in years)
Each train has one coach with 8 compartments, totaling 16 beds. It’s low capacity but looks nice, and each compartment has 🚿 !
These trains are made to run on longer journeys, probably overnight. A new class of comfort has been introduced, featuring reclining seats.
These are basically ICE4 First Class seats with a legrest extension. Quite pleasing, to be fair!
The Pa’tal are base on the same platform as the other classic trains of Tren Maya (produced by Alstom on the Xtrapolis platform)
These are bi mode (diesel and electric) with a top speed of 200km/h
Tren Maya has ordered only three of them.
Yesterday, Tren Maya introduced its newest train, the Pa’tal, on a special run between Cancun and Mérida! 🚆 🇲🇽
These new units are made to run on long distances across the Yucatán Peninsula.
Let’s take a closer look at them 👀
Kuddos to Mexico for being the only country in this part of the world that believes and invests massively in trains. It’s not perfect yet (they still have a couple of weird procedures such as the boarding), but it’s getting there 🤙
Since months, I have heard rumors and bad press (mostly from boomers and the right wing) about #TrenMaya 🇲🇽 « such a failure » « no one is riding it »
I wanted to travel from Cancun to Campeche yesterday, and both trains were sold out.
but yeah, it’s a true failure 🤡
Please Europe, wake the fuck up
