Buiten enkel M7 of TGV

Hi, I obviously don't know exactly how fast this train is going, but trains are allowed to drive 200 km/h on this line. The locomotive and coaches are also built to reach speeds of up to 200 km/h.

Thanks for this very kind comment 😊. Belgium indeed has a big graffiti problem. The large depots and sidings are pretty well secured at night, but there are plenty of smaller depots and sidings across the country that are much easier to access. Also good hearing from you, the station announcements are indeed in Flemish, and fun fact: the Brussels capital region alone has 35 stations in total 😅

Thanks a lot! The white/grey does look modern, but a bit of color indeed wouldn't hurt, such as the old green and red trains the NMBS used to have, which were more charming 😊. Do you have a favorite train from the NMBS?

Thanks!

Thank you! Cheers!

Zunächst einmal, Ingo, danke für deinen Kommentar; sehr geschätzt 🙂. Zweitens, diese Geschwindigkeitsreduzierungen sind weiterhin anwendbar und werden leider frühestens bis 2026 behoben sein.

@@TrainTramMetroChannel Vielen Dank für Deine Antwort. Habe auch noch mal darüber recherchiert, bis Ende 2025 gilt noch diese Beschränkung. Wenn man bedenkt, das die Strecke erst 2009 eröffnet worden ist, ist das schon sehr beschämend, das nach Milliarden € Baukosten wahrscheinlich mehrere 100 Millionen für die Reparatur anstehen. Da hat wohl jemand von der Bauaufsicht gepennt und man sollte sich die Kosten von der Baufirma zurückholen.....

Ah ok, Ende 2025, aber ich wäre nicht überrascht, wenn es bis 2026 dauert . Irgendetwas ist bei der Konstruktion dieser Linie tatsächlich schiefgelaufen. Eisenbahnen sind nicht dafür gemacht, nur 20 Jahre zu halten.

Hi, thanks for your comment. I actually like the effect the zoom brings, but that's my opinion of course 😊

Thank you! 😄

Helemaal juist! Ik geloof dat de Belgische rijtuigen die gebruikt gaan worden I11 rijtuigen zijn 😊

1ste loc in die nmbs kleuren staat opgesteld in antwerpen noord op de site van lineas

Inderdaad 😊

@@TrainTramMetroChannel thanks!

I mainly use geOps, which is a train tracking website that bases train locations on time schedules. The downside is that when a train is running late, the location is not correct, so I use the SNCB app to look if trains are running on time. Unfortunately, I haven't found a better alternative for tracking train locations in Belgium.

Yeah, definitely, and it's not even that bad in this video 🫠

Railways around the world have this is common so get your facts right bot boy

@@AustraliaWorldwide what are you on about? I never said that there are places where graffiti doesn't exist, but i never saw this many. In my city maybe one in 50 passenger trains has graffiti on it.

@@AustraliaWorldwide you can see that we have problem with graffiti on the buildings, but not on trains: th-cam.com/video/n3W8wKLhcCM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qy5ttyJI4JzgRGKO

It's indeed not an Apple product ;), I use the Samsung S23 Ultra, which has a wide-angle, 1x, 3x, and 10x optical zoom lens.

In en rond stations lopen vaak wel wat bedelaars rond inderdaad, maar toen eigenlijk geen last van gehad.

The SNCB app still uses the old red color the M5 coaches used to have. In 2009, they were modernized with new interiors and the current SNCB colors.

Duffel station

These trains all use the same safety/signaling system called ETCS.

For the safety system (ETCS), all trains are just seen as trains. Trains are scheduled so that there are no problems for the services that these trains run.

Awesome, thank you!

Technically it's not really called a Highspeed train, but an InterCity train that uses the Highspeed line. It will improve with the upcoming ICNG tho 😄

@@TrainTramMetroChannel Not to belabor the point, but between Rotterdam and Schiphol you pay a 'highspeed' surcharge, so this IS a highspeed train, even though it has to cut back speed 4 times on that section because of poorly built viaducts........

You're right, I forgot about the extra surcharge and problems with the highspeed line. That's not great when you look at it like that.

@@ilex471 Surcharge is not for highspeed travel but for the usage of highspeed tracks making it direct and unimpeded. But the growing slow orders on the track issue is valid.

One is also... you know... stopping at the station

I mainly use the NMBS/SNCB app in combination with the website geOps, although this site doesn't take into account when a train is running late.

@@TrainTramMetroChannel oh okay, is it a tracking train kinda thing? Would be nice if there was a flight radar but for trains, makes things much easier. But interesting to see you found info on trains!

Yeah it's a train tracker but unfortunately not as accurate and extensive as flight radar is for planes. Some countries do have train trackers integrated in their national railway app or website but unfortunately not in Belgium. In the end we indeed just need a flight radar but for trains 😄

@@TrainTramMetroChannel ahh I see now. Also are you from Belgium or Germany?

Belgium 🇧🇪

Amazing right, on 0.5x speed you can just about count them 😄

C'est tellement cool que tu aies trouvé cette vidéo! D'où contrôliez-vous le trafic ferroviaire si je peux me permettre?

@@TrainTramMetroChannel à Bruxelles-Midi, depuis fin 2022 on fait partie de la salle de commande de Bruxelles

Ah, à Bruxelles bien sûr, travail très intéressant je trouve, merci pour votre réponse 😊

Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback. I tried using some music for a change, but good to know you would rather hear the train sounds 😄

What a coincidence that would be! 😄

Inderdaad, dit is een zeer druk traject in België 😄

Je hebt gelijk. De HSL 4/Zuid loopt inderdaad technisch gezien maar tot Rotterdam en daarna door tot in Schiphol. Ik had in de titel tussen Antwerpen en Amsterdam gezet, omdat de meeste treinen natuurlijk tot in Amsterdam rijden, maar ik zal het even aanpassen voor de correctheid 😊

True! Both from the Siemens Velaro family 😄
