- Chris Tarrant embarks on his first train in Myanamar (aka Burma) en route to Mandalay. With limited funds the Myanamar government has tried to improve the vast railway network that was built by the British in the days of the Raj. Unfortunately upgrades to this stretch of line have gone horribly wrong…

Bouncing, but never getting derailed! That is a mystery.
Slow speed is the key
I remember watching this! My dad & I couldn't stop hooting with laughter. I think it was because several family members worked on the railways, imaging them in Chris' place, knowing how grumpy - in a comedic way, not malicious - they would be!
The sticky rice is supposed to keep you stuck to your seat.
YDM-4 locomotive from India, Myanmar brought it as 2nd hand from India. These Metre gauge YDM-4 locos were the workhorse of Erstwhile Indian railways IR. As a result of IR's decision to go broad gauge thru out its n/w these workhorses were sold to Myanmar, Cambodia, tanzania, vietnam. At present these locomotives are rare pieces in IR's loco inventory.
Took the Rangoon Mandaly express in 1977. 12 hours of bouncy bouncy…..
I know of people being seasick, carsick and airsick but never have I thought trainsickness was possible 😅
The VR had a wooden carriage called BPL we said it stood for Bouncing Passenger Lounge.
Chris said he was thrilled to get off.
Now, the return journey. 4 hours was it. 😂
Ask the crew
I think I’d be more scared from the bounciness of this train than heavy turbulence on an plane
did this journey in 2018....and it was rather bouncy.....but oh what fun!
The way he Narrated was really Hilarious.👏👏
I never knew my Kenya is way better than thy shambles, until I saw this
If you wanted to go horseback riding why did you take the train. 😂😂
This Locomotive is made in India, YDM4 loco
Brother it's not loco's fault. It's because of the tracks
Wat a amazing train.. people are travelling in
Roller Coaster..
Not anymore my friend. Thanks to Japan who came and upgraded everything.
Congratulations!
You made it to your destination and what a screaming laugh
🤣😁😫😖🥺😜
Mr. Please review the Indonesian train, via the Jakarta-Bandung extreme line, Bandung-Jogjakarta, we will be very grateful
I have travelled in trains in Sri Lanka they jerk from side to side but not up and down as the train in Myanmar that is really bumpy never seen such a train journey.
The irony of Chris Tarrant narrating this is that I like WWTBAM (Which he originally did) and trains as well
0:55 Yeah...Really interesting
When 1980's, this situation like in indonesia. But we luck, all the rails installed very smooth.
Now, we already have high speed train from Jakarta - Bandung.
This is the first high speed train in south-east asian.
We proud of it
That train will derail in no time (3:00).
Upgrading didn't go horribly wrong, it's how rail tracks are replacing everywhere in the world. At first old rails and sleepers are removed and new rail/sleepers sections are put to the rail bed and bolted or welded together without bothering about vertical alignment. At this time the trains can already run again but at very slow speed. THEN the tracks get ballasted and adjusted. The repair probably was delayed on the intermediate stage due to the lack of money.
Yes this is true, they should add ballast. They also should at least buy a tamping machine to adjust the tracks afterwards.
the engineers didn't bother slow down... man must be scary, it can derailed anytime
See, in the western countries, speed limits are not the same as what the trains can withstand. They are well below the threshold of accidents. In countries like Myanmar, it's more about the practicality of it. I am pretty sure that the engineers would slow down if it was that risky. I mean, I am from India. And here, they let the railways run even on a heavy monsoon day when the tracks are not visible (due to water). As far as I know, in the U.K., they stop services even with a few leaves on the tracks.
@@AbhishekSanyalTGV They do that because the trains run relatively quickly and relatively close together, so they need to be able to stop in a set distance when the need arises. Relatively recently there was an accident where two trains collided because one couldn't stop at a red signal due to leaves on the line.
OH my GOD
Good Grief! I cannot believe it! But Chris wouldn't tell fibs! And I saw camera footage. I have to believe it. Chiropractors must make
a good living along this railway line, in towns and villages. How about the kidneys with all that bouncing about? When I was just a
bit of a boy I'm sure I would have loved the experience. But now, in the Autumn of my life, I'll just enjoy it on CZcams! Thank You!
Amazing LOL
Wow
People who take this train everyday won’t have to go to gym anymore 💀
Extreme railways in indonesia came here sir chris tarant.
What extreme railway? You mean air conditioned cabin on a fairly maintained track?
What was the reason why it was bouncy again?
They replaced the wooden sleepers with concrete ones but ran out of ballast, so the rails moved up and down as the train passed over!
When there's no ballast, tampers can't tamp (level/true) the rails. Of course, this presumes they have tampers.
A rollercoaster & a train ride all thrown into one. And you are still complaining? 😉
Ga takut keluar rel apa??
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what journey ma man
If you ride this in theme park....you will pay a lot
Those locomotives from India.
SERU BANGET😂!!!!
🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who asked to come ?
He was really disrespectful there.
Shaggy train
At about 1 minute. the train is moving and the camera is shooting from the outside of the train window and going along the train. How the fuck do you think they did that?
There's a road either side of the train.1:13.
This could be worse than the Napoleon, Defiance, and Western. Just maybe.
About the same, but 10 times the speed.
I think Sri Lankan railway is ten and thousand times advance than this.
Not recommended for pregnant women 😂
Horrible journey.
Interesting but ruined by Chris tarrant...
