Hi! The special compartiment at 4:55 is for people with bikes. Greetings from a Belgian train lover :)
the belgian first class is mostely about siting with less people by example in rush houre because allot of belgians take the train because its a real cheap transportation service if u only need to get to your work so its fun if u pay extra to sit alone and not in a crowded space :)
The middle coach of the AM80 has different seating because originally AM80 trains were only composed of two coaches. They were designed as fast local trains with strong motors, but were almost never used for this purpose. The exces in power was used in advantage by adding a third coach in between. These are newer, which explains the different seating.
Merci pour le reportage! L'AM80 c'est le train de mon enfance sur la ligne Bruxelles-Luxembourg. Je l'ai même connu dans ses premières livrées rouge à l'origine et "Memling" dans les années 90-début 2000.
Your movies always fun for me, I like.Thank you ☺️
From Japan
You probably saw the last not-refurbished one and by now it should be in the workshops...
Good news!! Hopefully they will remove those disgusting graffitis
4:24
The middle coaches were added to the AM80 between 1992 and 1995. AM80 originally had only 2 coaches.
J'adore Bruxelles-midi tellement vivante, un vrai hub ferroviaire. Bon, les quais du flux domestique sont à revoir. Et pour les amateurs d'art nouveau, le hall de Bruxelles-central est magnifique. Merci pour la vidéo.
Hello, thanks for the video, i'm at school in the SNCB. And your video help me to study the different trains :P
At 5:16 you say that you're not sur if it's equiped with Air-conditioned; i give you a tip: if you can open the windows: No air-condition.
If you can't open the windows: air condition equipied !
i hope this tips will help you.
have a good day :)
I like your videos a lot, I feel like I’m the one traveling in one of those trains! Please keep posting videos, Thibault! You’ve got a fan base already 🤓 🚋🚄🚅🚂
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
We have the same trains in the suburbs of those cities in Morocco.. Casablanca/Rabat/Meknès/Fez..
AM80 !!! ONCF (Morocco) still use them as city link (short trips around Casablanca). They are named ZMC (from 1 to 14)
Your Channel is so good that i'm becoming addict to it , good job, your reports are great 👍👍
I'm not sure if they're still around but if you ever get the chance to ride a non-refurbished AM80, you should definitely check out the middle couch on these ones. It's all 2nd class but it has a 1st class feeling, pretty much like sitting in your couch at home.
Nice to see Belgian train report, that you dont see much on youtube! I take train often, in different types of trains to different destinations in Belgium.
What about the SNCB getting fooled by Desiro train, enlighten me please
5:00 this is the part made for bike users. When the breaks were built had they only 2 coaches. That's why the seats are not the same. (the middle coach was added 10 years after the trains were build, which is why the seats are different in the middle coach, which by the way is also the only of the 3 coaches without motor.
Well done, keep it up. I want to see many more tripreports
La partie "étrange" du waggon central permet de transporter des cyclistes et leurs vélos comme le logo sur la fenêtre le montre :)
Je n'avais pas vu :) merci
et pour personnes en fauteuil roulant
the newer one that you took is called the AM80m internally and the m stands for modernised.
3:06 you should have taken non reubisched one
There gnoe now
exactly! i was also gonna say that. im glad you noticed too.
Trains are nice here... I live in a 30k city (which most people call a small town 😜) and have 6trains/hour going to e.g. Ghent, Brussels and Mons... Trains are quite cheap here... Surely for -26yo (GO PASS 1 or even better GO UNLIMITED)
04:55 The name is "ロングシート" (long seat), providing more capacity of the train.
I really like how you travel everywhere! Do you do this in your free time or do you just travel a lot for work?
3:31 I know you're not a native English speaker but rather then seat the correct word is sit. Seat is the noun of the actual seat itself but sit is the verb of someone sitting on a seat
Actually Flemish is a dialect from Dutch. Oof, it can be confusing that the translations between the Dutch and French cities in Belgium are so different from eachother! Tournai and Doornik for example.
Il y à des prises, mais elles sont bien cachées entre les compartiments du dessus et les portes, mais que deux prises par voitures voyageurs si je ne me trompes pas
These are good trains. Not the most modern, but good enough for the short trips we have in this country.
Anouncements normally happen, but sometimes the conductor is busy or lazy. Most people take this trains often anyway and know very well where they need to be. On a late train after an evening of drinking in BXL, you can fall asleep though. :p
The am80 first was only a 2-car (bordeau color scheme) train when it was first refurbished they added the middle coach and maked it a 3-car train, the non-refurbished one in your video is the one were they firstly added the 3th coach, and the new one is the second time they got refurbished
You missed a trick with the non refurbished sets, they still have comfy "leather" seats instead of the hard fabric ones.
Yes, but I was really tired at this moment, and I didn't want to take this train, I regret today
Greetings from the UK, thank you for the great videos. I like the AM80, used to take it regularly from Maastricht to Brussel-Midi many years ago when I lived in Netherlands / Belgium. Keep up the good work! (By the way, I will never understand tagging, it's vandalism, ugly and totally pointless.)
maybe not everybody finds it ugly :)
@@jakobza6980 regardless of the art tastes🤷🏻♂️ It is illegal to do it to other people’s property
@@stateofflux7453 I dont give a single flying fuck about the "Kings" property. I wouldnt like it on beautiful houses owned by its inhabitants but as long as you dont cover up the Windows pls paint these trains!
There are power outlets on square seats. They are up on the ceiling or something.
Great video !!
Les AM80 modernisées ont un système d'affichage avec annonces vocales qui s'enclenche à l'arrivée à chaque gare. Le chef de bord n'a pas du le programmer sans doute.
En tant que fan des trains belges je tiens à te féliciter pour ton tripreport nocturne entre Bruxelles et Tournai et en tant que belge j'apprécie beaucoup tes reportages
Merci mec, j'aime beaucoup la SNCB, le service et la desserte est top
Well done, nice trip report! I went to Brussels too and it was nice!
When I know that the next train is an AM80, I just wait for the next one. With the frequency that Belgian trains ride, that's often preferable considering how loud these coaches are.
1:41 It reminds me of a Class 377 ‘Electrostar’
Liked your movie, but I missed a shot of the outsideof the doornik station with it's unique colorful lighting during the dark hours/ Thanks
7:20 , they say it when you are at bigger stops, or when you just left a station.
Dear thibault : In Romania are trains with square space such as night train Bucureşti- Craiova-Arad
The " I don't know how to name this" part is meant for bikes, strollers, wheelchairs and there is a big toilet room
You should try non-refurbished AM80, very nostalgic haha
If my train is this type, I should always take the middle car with the more comfortable seats.
Belgian trains might run frequently but they are late a lot aswell.
Yes where I live (Oudenaarde) all the trains that are coming and going to Brussels Midi are delayed
Normalement sur un IC on doit en effet faire les annonces de chaque arrêt. P-e un problème de sono ou le collègue était occupé à autre chose (... enfin je comprends l'ennui du coup).
Niveau bruits étranges etc faut vraaaaaaaaaiment que tu planifie un trajet en classiques (AM62/66) :D surtout qu'ils veulent bientôt les déclasser ;) Ces vieux trains ont un charme de fou (et la première classe est vraiment différente). :D
Et la prochaine fois admettons si tu veux passer un w-e durant les grandes vacances en Belgique pour faire plusieurs trajets etc et que t'as encore moins de 26 ans, on a des Go Unlimited, cela se met sur une carte "Mobib" (un peu comme un pass Navigo), une photo d'identité + 5 euros et t'as la carte puis pour 15euros supplémentaires tu peux faire tous les voyages que tu veux avec celle-ci.
Bref si tu veux des idées de trajets pittoresques ou autre et des bons plans tarifaire hésite pas à me contacter :)
Tout à fait d'accord, j'étais un peu déçu que t'as pas changé pour tester la motrice non-modernisée. Les rénovées ont le charme d'un salle d'opération dans un hôpital...
these are my second favorite trains, but they are quite noisy if the widows and doors are open, some passengers pass by and don't even close the doors
😠😤
Another excellent video !
They don't make announcements for station stops and there are no station signs with the station name YIKES !!!
That is really crappy. Tourist must get lost all the time!!!???
Thanks for sharing !!! :):):)
They don't make announcements because they don't care for passengers. SNCB train conductors are also often unfriendly.
There was a sign with Ath, but because it's a small word and the light of the sign didn't work (or it hasn't), it's difficult to see at 7:17
Actually it's rare to have no announcement by the conductor. I take SNCB trains often and they always (or most of the time) do it. Or on Desiro's and M7 there are automated announcements.
I agree. No announcement and barely visible signs.
certified belgian classic
Viens au Japon nos trains sont pas mal ;)
Si tu me payes le billet d'avion avec grand plaisir
"00:00PM" will not mean anything to English speakers.
Alright thank for the tips, I'm not an English native speakers, sometimes I still made mistakes
6:00 that's like most regional first class in the UK.
Great content in the video. However, your camera moves too fast so I feel dizzy watching the video.
The train company is by the way NMBS.
The door closing sound was broken haha. And at de 2nd class there are 2 plugs. On de side by the door.
Come to zottegem
Tags on Belgian trains are a plague...
j'admire le am80 break
am like dis train🇧🇪
La motrice non-modernisée aurait été plus conviviale, je pense. Les rénovées n'ont pas de charme, leur seul point positif, c'est l'espace multifonctionnel pour les vélos, et encore, avant, c'était dans le fourgon, et on n'était pas obligé à rester avec...
Quelques réponses à tes questions et remarques. Les AM80 break ont commencé comme des motrices à 2 voitures, celle du milieu est plus récente, et non-motorisée, donc moins bruyante,et toujours avec des sièges individuels ald bancs dans le reste du train. Dommage qu'ils les ont remplacés avec la rénovation, les anciens étaient mieux (identiques aux I10, à part le revêtement). Avec la rénovation, ils ont installé de la climatisation... mais que dans les postes de conduite.. Et la gare non-annoncée est Ath.
Flemish doesn't exist as a seperate language.
G E K O L O N I S E E R D
I have a 9 minutes coincidence at Brussels midi, from a thaylis to a train to Amsterdam, could i get It?
the non-refurbished seating was better, especially in the middle cars.
Et maintenant, les train hollandais!
Pas au programme pour l'instant mais oui j'adorerais
Tant que ce n'est pas un SNG (Sprinter Nouvelle Génération)! Les sièges sont durs comme des pierres.
Nice train
Break????
Les belges prennent le train parce que leurs autoroutes sont catastrophiques à certains endroits mais bon ça reste un super pays et elles sont gratuites
Jaime ce train jespere il vont pas le retiré
6:00 en même temps c'est 10eur de plus pour l’abonnement en 1ère.
02:08 its cause population density in belgium makes it more possible to make rentable trains unlike france..
Not really agree with you, in north of France and in some part of France, the density is bigger than Belgium and we still have no trains... like Tournai is a small town and they have so many trains
@@SimplyRailway lolz for Belgium Tournai isn't a small town 🤣 it is an IC station like most stations you visit... Should take an S or L train once... Then you'll see really small towns (some stops have only 10 people/day) it's just our dense rail net... It makes trains a nice way of travel for everyone with most places having at least 2 trains/h
”This 1st class is a joke” welcome to belgian trains haha
6:53 that's not extremely dangerous ? If a train coming in front of you !
This looks more like an old regional train than an IC
It does get used for IC now. But before the Desiro came out this was one of the main stopming service train. It still get used for that, but more rarely now.
You also need to know this train is already 30+ years old. They just got refurbished tho.
The AM80 has no air-condition ... that's right
Nice Video but why did you delited you Instagram m
I haven't, it's just an error on the link :) go and check out on IG Simply Railway
AM80 oncf No SNCFB
Mauvais choix ! Tu aurais dû monter dans la voiture centrale de la non-modernisée, c'est là que sont les meilleurs sièges. Les sièges sont différents car à l'origine en 1980, les AM80 n'avaient que 2 voitures. La voiture centrale a été ajoutée au début des années 90. Sinon pour la sonnerie de fermeture, le buzzer doit être court-circuité, ce bruit n'est pas normal. Les M7 auront la même sonnerie que la plupart des trains européens par ailleurs.
Je ne peux pas tout savoir 🤷🏻♂️
Pas de soucis je ne fais qu'apporter des précisions ;) ! Malheureusement les AM80 non modernisées sont tellement rares aujourd'hui... La dernière que j'ai eu c'était l'année passée sur la ligne transfrontalière entre Liège et Maastricht, c'était la dernière ligne où on était quasi sûr d'en avoir. Apparemment les modernisées auraient récemment été homologuées aux Pays-Bas donc ça doit être fini maintenant pour les non-modernisées
@@imaginox9 Coucou, si on parle bien du buzzer lors de la fermeture de porte, c'est tout à fait normal. Toutes les portes "buzz" lorsqu'une fermeture de porte est demandée. (à l'exception de la porte ou l'accompagnateur fait la demande, qui elle buzzera une fois qu'il aura retiré sa clé. (je parle bien ici de la 80, pour les autre je ne sais pas).
@@bifi326 Je sais très bien ça, c'est juste le son du buzzer, c'est pas le son habituel, là il a l'air d'être très usé ou court-circuité 😉
Too much fast!
Cette station est vieille, sale comme une grand partie de leurs trains
Les voyageurs sont seuls responsables de la saleté des trains
@@jeremyleroy9764 Ca c'est sûr. Mais la rénovation est le devoir des pouvoirs public et des exploitants.
marvsslu oui sauf que ça c’est sur le papier la réalité est toute autre. Ils sont pas riches comme on pourrait le penser ils ont beaucoup de choses à gérer dans le budget mais ça tant que vous n’y travaillez pas vous ne pouvez pas vous en rendre compte
The desiro trains in Belgium suck!
The bathroom tours - stink.
Who wants to see a toilet flush?
