AMAA - Germany - ICE 3 NEO High Speed Train Review - Reaction by Average Middle Aged American

COLOGNE CENTRAL STATION
Journey Details:
Origin: Köln Hbf
Destination: Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Fernbahnhof
Company: Deutsche Bahn Fernverkehr (DB)
Train: DB 408 'ICE 3neo'
Accommodation: First Class Seat (1st)

Intercity Express (commonly known as ICE (German pronunciation: [iːtseːˈʔeː] ⓘ)) is a high-speed rail system in Germany. It also serves destinations in Austria, France, Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands as part of cross-border services. It is the flagship of the German state railway, Deutsche Bahn. ICE fares are fixed for station-to-station connections, on the grounds that the trains have a higher level of comfort. Travelling at speeds up to 300 km/h (190 mph) within Germany and 320 km/h (200 mph) when in France, they are aimed at business travellers and long-distance commuters and marketed by Deutsche Bahn as an alternative to flights.
The ICE 3 also has been the development base for the Siemens Velaro family of trainsets which has subsequently been exported to RENFE in Spain (AVE Class 103), which are certified to run at speeds up to 350 km/h (220 mph),[1] as well as versions ordered by China for the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway link (CRH 3) and by Russia for the Moscow-Saint Petersburg and Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod routes (Velaro RUS)[2] with further customers being Eurostar as well as Turkey and Egypt.

Graffiti is not art.
Toilet seat protectors are more contaminated than pure plastic due to their porosity... The bacteria spread through the air throughout the room and the porous paper acts like a reservoir.
17:15 I'm using Mbit/s and every Speedtest i know is using Mbit/s
I do hate graffiti too... vandalism is very common all over Europe... penalties aren't strikt enough. 😢
Airplanes and cars are not always on time either! Get well soon! Drink a warm beer before going to bed, I'll sleep like dead.
Planes are hardly ever on time in USA!
@Average_Middle_Aged_American The same with traffic jams.
Fully agree, I despise graffiti
Some of the toilets are self-cleaning!
Its that time of the year...🎅 Maybe you could check out some german/european christmas markets

Ahhhh. Thanks!
The problem with Germany is they are very slow making infraestructure ,last 20 years to make 50 km of HSR .the stuttgar passing , come on germans speed up! And about graffitis here in europe they are considered art ,so is allowed ,give color ,at least they be of bad taste. And yes there are KFC everywhere. The best and fast trains are chinese! Hehe they run at 400 km/ h in europe 310 km/ h japanese 300 km/h
It‘s not 200€, it‘s just 68,20€. The entire Video is twisted in a mirror.
There were tickets over 200 euros depending on time and day.
On high speed trains, all seats are always assigned. Therefore, when you buy a ticket, they tell you which seat you are going to get and you can also choose it yourself by looking at a floor plan of the train and the carriages, just like on a plane. Also, what you see in the video of people stretched out occupying two seats, I think it's because they bought one seat, and when they saw that after a while no one was occupying the other, they laid down because they were tired. It is also to be understood that many of the people who were stretched out or without shoes, are perhaps tourists or foreigners who do not respect the local rules of conduct or respect the locals. They may also be some young local people who nowadays have neither politeness nor respect for anything.
I don't think that 50-100 euros for a first class ticket Madrid-Barcelona is expensive at all. Bear in mind that the distance is more than 600 km (more than 372,823 miles) so we are not talking about a regional or short distance train like the ones in Switzerland. In Spain we also have many regional and short distance trains and therefore the prices are much cheaper and there are pass cards as in any public transport, but the AVE is a high speed train (not a normal one) and it also travels very long distances.
@@Ilar-en7lg - I agree. I did not realize the distance. However, some of those tickets were more than 200 euros.
@Average_Middle_Aged_American No problem. Yes, some of those tickets were very expensive, but I don't think anyone buys them, or hardly anyone, unless perhaps they have an emergency and they have to travel that day at that time and there are no other cheaper seats left.

@@arnodobler1096 - Hershey and Mars are two of America's largest chocolate companies. They do somewhere between $50-$100 billion annually. "In 1969, Hershey received a license from UK-based Rowntree's to manufacture and market Kit Kat and Rolo in the United States. After Hershey's competitor Nestlé acquired Rowntree's in 1988, it was still required to honor the agreement, and so Hershey continues to make and market the products in the U.S. The license would revert to Nestlé if Hershey were sold."

All depends on the HOA and who is running it.

@arnodobler1096 - my previous home had HOA fees of $500 per year. That provided a community pool, tennis court, clubhouse, and playground. HOA prevents people from painting their home pink and purple, not cutting grass, etc. It all depends on neighborhood and rules.

Flights are also usually cheaper than the AVE in Spain. However, the AVE has serious advantages, for example: the stations are in the city centre and with metro stops nearby, so you don't need to take taxis or buses to get to the city. You don't need to arrive an hour early to board either. You can arrive minutes early, and you don't have to go packing your bags as they come in with you.
Unfortunately, flights are still too heavily subsidized instead of trains in Europe.
@@arnodobler1096 First time I've heard that. Flights are not subsidised at all man, at least not in European Union. However, the rail networks are built by states and the main companies of trains including high-speed trains belong to the states too. In short, just the other way around you are saying...😂😂😂
@pedrofmc0000 Kerosene, or aviation fuel, is hardly taxed. Small airports have high losses, which are offset by the state or the region. How can it be that a taxi to the airport or the parking garage costs more than the flight? Ever asked that question?
@@arnodobler1096 Stop inventing data man... Low prices, since lots of years ago are lower, thanks to the so called low-cost companies such as Ryanair etc... and are PRIVATE companies. Airports are managed for a company called AENA. And if the train stations are financed by the state, why not the small airports? Usually airports are away form the cities and taxis are expensive. Normally there are trains, trams, subways or buses to go there. You don't usually need a taxi. Yes, In Spain, the airline industry does'ot pay taxes on the fuel it uses and VAT is only applied to domestic flights, at a reduced rate of 10%. Currently, the European Commission is considering introducing a tax on aviation kerosene, applying a 20% VAT to all tickets and extending the scope of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme to apply to all flights departing from the European Union. And btw! do you know why this is like that? The forecasts of tourism this year is 90 million tourists. Do you know how they come and how much money suppose for the country? The come by plane! and we're talking about 200 billion euros, 13,3% of our GDP! Do you understand now? BTW, small airports are in zones where there're little tourism and if they weren't helped they'd have to close. The airports where most of tourist go doesn't have any financing problem. So, it's a public service for citizens not to help airlines.
If you're into castles, maybe you'll enjoy Mount St. Michel and Neuschwanstein. Not that both play the same league but they are awesome. There are some 2500 castles just in Spain (es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anexo:Castillos_de_Espa%C3%B1a) so, go figure... You might want to look for the Loire Route in France. Even "castle" means maybe too many different things.
Thanks!
This is by no means a fair depiction of what Spain has to offer. Maybe it's an acceptable suggestion for the typical tourist, but feels like saying Stephen King is a fair example of what literature is. Barcelona is much more than La Sagrada Familia. Valencia is waaaaay more then the Arts and Sciences City (specially the old city). I've been at El Prado just once. I realized one would need months to see just what's in there. I have the same feeling after seeing that.
The “ costa del sol” beach is not as full as can be on summer, when millions of turist come… spring is better if you dont want too much people arround. And not as hot when some areas can reach 40º C
A must to big beaches not crowded is Cadiz, windy sometimes but good food and wild beaches

To be fair those graffiti look old and faded and it seems that the people doing it only do it by the riverbank and not on the town's walls. I understand that you don't like it (I don't like it there either), but at least it seems like they have some consideration. In many towns, the local government itself carries out projects with graffiti artists to fix and decorate walls in poor condition with big murals and it looks amazing.
I like American trains because they are old, they are old and they are the same ones we have seen in the movies from 40 years ago. I like old things.
No sabéis de qué habláis, en EEUU no hay más trenes rápidos porque a las compañías aéreas no les viene bien la competencia y los lobis tienen mucho poder, pero sería mucho más ecológico y e incluso en algunos casos más rápido, y lo que es seguro que más económico. Informaros un poco más, este señor seguro que viaja en primera y a horas punta, y le parece caro un viaje de 650 km por 50€ .
Who are you talking to/about? Me?
@@Average_Middle_Aged_AmericanHi, he is talking in plural (the plural of you), I'm not sure why.
Spain❤💯💯👍👏👏👏👏
Wi-Fi conexión a Internet sin cable, y para conectar dispositivos inalámbricos entre ellos es BLUETOOTH, i think
España tiene el mejor sistema del mundo en trenes...no hay ningún país para comparar¡¡¡¡
China y Japón. Hablo por experiencia
El que hace estas comparaciones no es español es de Nueva Zelanda en dónde aún andan en carros de caballos y es curioso que habla sobre los congitos como algo racista....madre mía lo va a decir un Neozelandés, que vaya a la escuela a estudiar un poco de historia y que critique los genocidios ingleses en Oceanía¡¡¡ y eso que está casado con una española, no tiene respeto....pero lo invito a que se vaya de España a Inglaterra que allí no son racistas¡¡¡¡
Watching this from Madrid :)
9:10 Twenty five euros for that? No, no, they give you that for free with your beer.
During my stay in Spain I was able to take a mix of AVE, Ouigo, Iryo, and other train services like Euromed, media distancia, and general commuter trains. Iryo is truly the pinnacle of quality, professional, and comfortable high-speed train travel in Spain. Those seats were heaven to sit in from Valencia to Madrid! 🙌
Renfe que es la empresa española de ferrocarriles ha obtenido una concesión valorada en 5.560 millones de euros para construir la que será la primera línea de alta velocidad en Estados Unidos y que conectará las ciudades de Dallas-Forth Worth y Houston, en Texas, con una distancia de 386 kilómetros que se recorrerán en menos de 90 minutos.
Ok, this might seem a lavish showcase for foreigners, but trains in Spain have another side of the coin. On the one hand there's this world-class quality of high speed trains. But in order that they are profitable, these lines are only supposed to connect big cities, where business men or any other kind of high rent people can afford traveling in them. Whereas in other medium-sized or smaller cities just get a railway service of a 19 century era or a 3rd world country. The public budget invested on building the high speed network is depriving other areas of the country, less touristy, of having a good or decent basic train service. It doesn't need to be high speed, but just improve a stale network with decades of failures and deficiencies, not typical from a European country. Ok, there are motorways and good roads in compensation, but trains are an issue.
All High Speed Trains in Spain get same speed , no matter company or price . They have specially designed tracks to deal safely with that , all the way fenced both sides , and no raildoad crossings, stop in very few stations on the way , depends on route , and a few minutes , never in small cities or village , like Swiss trains ,thats weary... The toilet paper , is a SPARE roll , just in case ..... , there's another one in the right place .. Prices are like airfares , it depends on day of week , and time of dep. , and cheaper when bought in advance Possible to get tickets for as little as 9 euros for a 2 hour 25 min. trip ,and you get right in the city center By plane 1h.25min flight , but altogether , airport / checking/security etc etc etc, airport city of destination, almost 3 hours , and hand luggage only ... So the train is the winer . I booked a trip for next tuesday for only 15 E. at 02:00 pm , highest fare same day is 136 E. at 5:52 am ,same speed and duration both !And last seats available the early trip ¡¡¡¡
Swiss trains are definitely better, and their network is amazing. Insane level of operational planning. I don't know if there's a video in English, they call it Taktplan and it's a country wide synchronized schedule. However, Swiss trains primarily serve shorter distance travel between smaller towns. Spain is bigger and sparsely populated so speed for long distances is essential. The focus is more on private operators and promoting competition, which did drop prices somewhat in the last couple of years (or raise them during peak times as you saw)
La Granja de San Ildefonso is near Segovia, but it's an different town.
All seats are assigned on this trains
We take the fast trains INSTEAD airplanes... much more confortable and convenient...
The Swiss railroad is certainly the best in Europe, but without high-speed trains, it is too small and too dense. High-speed trains only make sense on longer routes.
The racist thing, wait when he came to a european country named Montenegro 🙈🤣
