Scenes from the Helsinki Metro System

- A video showcasing the Metro system in the capital of Finland, Helsinki. The clips are all from May 2020.
The system operates using three types of trains build by Valmet + Strömberg, Bombarider + Alstrom and CAF.
HSL/HRT operates the network which consist of the lines M2 and M1 running on a single core section with 2 branches in the east. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
The M100 trains were among of first in the world equipped with 3-phase AC drive developed by Strömberg.
I love the width of the trains so much. So much space inside, none of that sardine can cramming like in some older metro systems (or newer with narrow trains)
1:47 the driver waved at the camera lol
Haha😂
A fun fact: Technically speaking this metro links the two largest cities in Finland: Helsinki (650K inhab.) and Espoo (300K). Though the cities are neighbours, in the same urban region.
And almost Vantaa (237k) since the Mellunmäki station is so close the the border.
If Vantaa decides to build the light rail system from Mellunmäki to the airport the cities will be pretty nicely connected.
Yes both of them are in the Helsinki urban area.
Меча папку еаае
@@blinder2786Even tho I'm 2 years late the metro actually goes to Vantaa because there's a service track that goes from Mellunmäki to Rajakylä (Vantaa)
Love the sound of electric motors
Coming from Adelaide, Australia, all of these trains on Helsinki Metro look fabulous. The train design simplicity for the exterior and inferior with wide spacious carriages (3.2 m wide!) and the practicality of stations are unlike anything I have seen from a metro system.
Also, that acceleration from the M300 train is mind‐bogglingly fast. To give perspective of how fast the M300 acceleration is, it's going from 0 km/h (standtill, leaving the station) to 50 km/h in around 10 seconds and from standstill to 80 km/h in around 20 seconds (see 3:45 to 3:58, & 4:25 to 4:45) and being able to do that consistently as soon as the doors shut (minimal lag, instant takeoff) which are unheard of for metro systems internationally. The only other metro systems that can match the Helsinki Metro's insane acceleration rates are in Washington DC and San Francisco, but even when using the latter two US systems, it's not a close contest. The deep-level 'tube' lines of the London Underground do have similarly high acceleration rates from standtill like the Central Line and Victoria Line, but those metro trains are a lot smaller than ones typically found on the Helsinki Metro, and it wouldn't be a fair comparison.
I love Orange metros and finland have it it's beautiful
Beautiful metro and refreshing colour ❤️
Great video Simon, very informative. I'd love to come to Finland soon ☺️🇫🇮
Last thing i heard was borders might open from mid-july 🤞
@@Simon-Andersen Nice! I'll have had my 2nd jab by then too 😎
@@NonstopEurotrip Aaah heey!!! You are very welcome to Finland!!!
6:14 i love the sound
Great brother your videos are great . I love Finland
awesome vid ! great thanks for posting !
There actually are 4 trains in the metro network and 1 more wich isn't in use anymore.
Awesome video! Did you notice that 5.35 M100 train was renovated unit?
Yes it was actually the one I took to get there! I was not aware untill I got onto on another M100 later the same day that was different
Very good video! Is it recorded in a quiet time?it doesn’t look too busy
Recorded on a saturday around midday, so not excatly peak.
Well it's the World's smallest metro in a country which barely has enough people combined to make 1 city.
@@Simon-Andersen + Corona pandemic
@@Xerdoz Catania has the world’s smallest metro system… also, there are over 20 cities in finland and almost 10 of them have over 100 000 inhabitants
@@olskutsuikkeli 100000 people dispersed randomly over a large area does not a city make.
Excuse me, is this the station for Bombfunk MC's to alight at?
That would be correct!
Of course! It is Finnish song
the m300 sounds fucking bonkers
I haven’t seen the m200 in a while
Ne on tällä hetkellä peruskorjauksessa, ei niitä vielä hetkeen tuu kulkemaankaan
@Bussit & metrot master ok
There’s actually 2 lines
Well yes, i guess that depends on how you look at it. From a timetable perspective there is 2 lines, from a physical infrastructure not as much
The way I look qt it, it's 1 with two branches and a short turn.
Mellunmäki metro station is the most northest station in the world.
*Northernmost
don't expect ignorant dirty finnish people to get it right @@Brash_Candicoot
フィンランドの地下鉄は、日本の電車に似ているが､､もっといい
Looks like robloxxx lolll
um?
