    i took the eurostar to Paris, as an american it is so embarrassing to see how wonderful, smooth and FAST Europes trains are compared to our jerky, broken, old and slow rail travel. I just took a 2 day trip from San Francisco to Chicago for fun and it was like being in a major earthquake the whole way.

    Come the day, I’ll be riding the train, pass by that man in seat 61, doff my hat, and continue on. There’s a fellow well met and good day to you, sir.

    Can't wait to get back onboard, I did this journey in December 2019, had to use Thalys on the return, changing onto Eurostar at Brussels Midi. Got a trip planned in the summer to Czech Republic. Incidentally I dropped into Trainworld in Schaerbeek on my back to the UK from southern Poland, deffo worth a visit 100%

    What a great train ride! Such a relaxing way to travel!

    This was fun. i traveled by train all over Europe as an American student in the early 1970's. Loved it. But how it's changed! i have the impression that Europe has made much more progress than has the USA in the intervening years. I'm h happy for people there.... but wonder what our leaders are doing. Thanks for uploading this great video.

    Beautiful stations at both ends of the journey. Fast, peaceful ride and so much better than flying - and with travel to/from airport factored in it’s probably faster. Great video.

    Train cabin looks fantastic. Indian Railways should manufacture such spacious compartments in coming years. Congrats from India
