Hope you get better soon man 🙏
Thanks, I hope so
I‘m not a big Fan of the new AI Voice.
Fr it's like male and female voice combined.
If you wouldve listened to what he said in the beginning you would know that its not permanent -_-
Me too. But that's a forced measure cause it's difficult to speek a lot for me right now.
Oups, I wish you a speed recovery then :)
@@lavandulaangustifolia7902 thanks!
Please get better, we want your voice! I'm gonna go and visit the new RER extension soon!
Thanks! I'll do my best!
The interchange at Porte Maillot is between RER C and E
Those Hyndai Rotem are great, I really hope that Hyundai can penetrate other markets with them. It would be nice to have more diversity
Paris is truly becoming an amazing transit city. Lots of bike lanes being built, new trams and the RER extension. Haven't visited Paris in a few years but I might do so in a near future just to check out how much has changed.
As crazy as it might seem, even though they are a lot of projects building, for the moment, Paris is becoming miserable in terms of transports. Authorities are taking a lot of bad decisions that penalize commuters. The historic lines are run down their infrastructure are not well maintained and dirty as hell, the renew of rolling stocks on the for critical lines like RER D B and C takes forever whereas they should have been prioritized, the RER E could have waited (RER A is ok). Still no information about a tunnel doubling between chatelet le halles and gare du nord etc...
...I will cobtinue here.
Don't get fooled by the new tram constructions. Some of the lines are catastrophic like T12 who took a branch if the RER C, destroying the service there, the T13 was not neccessary, the T10 is under used. The metro rolling stock are ageing bad...I' grateful for the new metro lines under construction but I would aldo have the authorities to take the right decisions and not penalize commuters always
@@inglewoodea3149 Oh ftg avec les lignes non necessaires. Toute ligne est necessaire, et y'en avait une juste avant le T13, c'est pas une nouvelle ligne. Et le RER B et D ont du stock nouveaux hein, le RER NG sur la D, le MI20 sur le B. Et le C, ben ils ont des trains des années 2000 qui fonctionnent bien, pas besoin de changer ca. RER E c'est une platforme de test pour les nouveaux trains, nexteo, etc... Comme ca, on n'impacte pas bcp de gens pendant les test, comparées avec les autres lignes. Le metro, bah ils en achetent hein, le MP59 il dit au revoir cet semaine la, les MP73 se font remplacer par des MP89 sur la 6, les MP14 sont partout sur la 4 la 14 et la 11, et les MF19 vont venir bientot aussi.
Un doublement du tunnem va etre hyper difficile a entreprendre, parceque il faut fermer les deux lignes pendant plusieurs mois. T'es pret a devoir dire ca aux usagers? Vrmt un parapgraphe qui souligne que tu sait pas de quoi tu parle.
Thank you for the information and I hope you get your voice back quickly.
About Mannheim, as far as I know they already retired all high-floor trams and also those with just a low-floor middle section.
The oldest trams in service are now the Duewag 6MGT/8MGT built from 1994.
But the new RNT2020 series isn't just for Mannheim, Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr operates the tram networks of Mannheim, Ludwigshafen, Heidelberg as well as the Rhein-Haardt-Bahn (RHB) and Oberrheinische Eisenbahn (OEG), all in meter gauge with 750 V DC overhead wires. Previous series were built for one of the five connected networks and numbered in different series, the RNT2020 are planned to be used all over the system. For easier maintenance the longer units can be split up in the middle so if only one half needs repair, the other half can be combined with a spare unit.
Thanks!
Interesting thing about splitting the wagons.
Always nice to see Boston news. Yay for Siemens for Brightline West, hopefully CAHSR gets trainsets from them too. It's a little strange to see kmh for American trains but it does making comparing speeds of other HSR trains easier.
There's an error at 0:57, there is no RER A stop at Porte Maillot, so there's no interchange possible between RER A and E there. At 1:28, I have to imagine that the architectural uniqueness is referring to La Défense station and not Nanterre-la-Folie station, as that's what's being displayed in the video.
I've got a lot of footage from my subscriber and now suppose it's a good idea to make a bigger video about it.
Nanterre la folie is quite a big architectural piece, though not as impressive as La Defense
Porte maillot is in correspondance with C-E and M1 line ,not A line.
Hope you get better soon 💯
Thanks!
As far as combination of Tram, Metro, Regional Trains and Suburban Trains there are not many Cities that can keep up with Paris
Impressive Network
pretty much every major city in europe has these: Berlin, Munich, Prague, Warsaw, Vienna, Budapest, Milan etc. Even comparatively small (550k) Nuremberg has all of these
@@actualdog2265 But none of these transport a combined 3.5 billions riders on a yearly basis. Of course Paris is bigger than the places you cited, but the city stand out for having an extensive network of all kind of modes, not simply "mostly trains and a metro lines or two" or "mostly trams and a train lines or two" etc. Even Asian giant metropolis (2 or 3 times the size of Paris) tend to have networks which focus on few modes only, like massive subway network but no trams or RER/S-Bahn like services (although Delhi and Seoul are following Paris steps in bringing rapid rail transit to their network as well).
For next news: Warsaw, Poland will be opening new tram line to Sielce
Suggestion for next weeks video: brazil has announced a big investment in electric buses across the nation.
seen from Europe (France), I find it not very clever that the future high-speed line from Los Angeles to Las Vegas stops in the suburbs and not in the city center,
the point of a fast train is precisely to be able to arrive directly in the center of a city and not have to waste the time saved on public transport🤗
Absolutely. I've talkedabout it in one of previous videos and as far as I understand that's simply because it's cheaper
Weekly highlight! Thank you once again!
Glad you enjoy it!
If you want help with the script reading I am happy to help. Anyways, hope you get better🙏
Oh, thanks, that's cute :)
Anyway I hope I'll be fine next week.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hope you feel better !
I'm not sure that the AI voice is the way to go. If you're sick, just skip one week.
I don't like the artificial voice either, but I had already started making the video and didn't want to just give up. Besides, one subscriber sent me his footage from Paris and it was a sin not to use it
Hope you recover soon!!! Don't worry about the AI voice, health must be number 1 priority.
Btw, could you talk about the absolute CHAOS that is Spanish Cercanías (commuter rail) and regional rail lately?
Here comes an overly specific explanation of the situation. It is difficult to understand and there are more questions than answers, so read under your own responsibility xd.
I mean, delays have always been an issue, but now they're getting worse in places like Madrid, while in other areas some trains are simply disappearing from timetables.
And in Catalonia the main issue lately has been copper thieves.
And even worse: today was regional elections day, and all service through both of Barcelona's city tunnels was shut down due to fires in them, caused allegedly by an overvoltage, which was allegedly caused by another copper robery.
The thing is: lots of people don't buy it. All other copper robberies just caused delays on specific points of the network. And on election day suddenly a "usual copper theft" causes all that mess?
There are some theories running around: one is a sabotage by some political parties to gain votes.
The other one is a not really intelligent excuse by Adif (the public company in charge of the infrastructure) to cover the lack of maintenance of the infrastructure.
If you want my opinion, that last one is the most probable, as Adif already has already done that: some months ago they said a lightning hit an electrical installation, when there was not a single cloud in kilometres.
But whatever is the real cause, it is (and will surely be even more when we know it for sure) a huge scandal.
Thank you for your kind words. Health is really important, and it's not cool to be sick.
As for the copper theft, that's sad that this is happening. It reminded me an occasion at an urban conference where representatives of a European city were talking about the challenges of developing their tram network, and then a participant from Africa asked, “Why are there so many difficulties? Wouldn't it be easier to run a lot of diesel buses?” Modern transportation is a very good thing, but unfortunately, it is very sensitive to such incidents.
In Montréal , Québec, Canada CPDQ-Infra have announced the opening of the tunnel and the west and Deux-Montagnes branch of the Rsésau Express Métropolitain (REM) will opened next year in 2025 instead of late 2024. The People of Deux-Montagnes had to wait another year (4th years) before having a train back to Downtown. There still finition to add and test and fix stuff before the second in 2025 the opening of the last branch i.e. Airport still preview for 2028.
1 train 2 units have been tested outside rush hours between Brossard and Gare-Centrale.
