I'll vote for Switzerland, they have remote towns in the mountains that have hourly train service to the rest of the network.
en tant que français,je trouve le reseau suisse tres efficace et tres complet,grace aux excellentes frequences,et aux connexions avec les nombreuses lignes a voie metrique ( TPC, nyons st cergue ,BAM ,MOB etc.....)
Alan Fisher But they are slow as hell.

@@ZRHTrainspotter And so we meet again, still spewing misinformation I see. Don't take this guy seriously, he's proven before not to know anything about Swiss railways or just railways in general... As to the topic of the discussion, yes, while expensive and certainly not flawless, the Swiss really do put to work all the things a well functioning railway should have.
Je vote pour la Suisse aussi en Europe. Mais bon vu le prix que ça coute un billet en Suisse, malgré les milliards de subventions qu'ils touchent de l'état fédéral, c'est la moindre des choses que ce soit les meilleurs trains d'Europe.
Ukraine, as i was born there, now i live in Italy, and they showed the shittiest trains that Italy has, without showing any Frecciarossa or Italo
Went to the comment section just for this exact reason. Such a shame. Thumb down for this vid, no research from the uploader.
You’re right. Also can we just start appreciating Trenitalia have changed during this decade. They are getting better and better. Also many trains in this video don’t show the real state of railways.
Go back in ukrain land of shit
m4kkillottu If you don’t like it don’t watch it if the viewer wants to see what other trains they have they can research it
They showed the TAF ( treno ad alta frequentazione- high frequency train) frecciabianca , ALE 568, regional trains and frecciaargento...these train aren't that bad...but it's trenitalia and trenord wich are bad....bad service

Yeah, I live in PL and I was like - wtf, we have such trains? But a lot of international trains go through (or from) Poland and this one was probably EuroNight designed as IC407 "Chopin", Warsaw - Wien, which was pulled by Polish EU44 to Bohumin and by Czech ČD 380 from there.

In terms of reliability, accessibility, quality and affordability Switzerland and the Netherlands are certainly the top two. After that we have most Western European countries and the Czech Republic and then the others. The only country that really stands out in a negative way is Albania. Even Moldova has better infrastructure.

I decide for the Austrian ÖBB. Not because i'm Austrian, but because they are really developing things in the right direction: Fast and clean trains, cheap prices. 29.- Vienna - Munich or 30.- Vienna - Prague 1st class is something you barely can beat with a car.
Frecciarossa is better
@@MrItaliansound you are comparing a flagship high speed service to a intercity service which is way better
im italian and trust me:
1) we got our own regional train called Rock and Pop created by an italian team originally called Ansaldo now owned by Hitachi but nothing changed
2) we got only fast trains for long travels and slower for commute(Frecciabianca is almost death and only 2 Intercity available), our high speed use mostly only AC and tge rest CC... we mostly dont use an Eurocity so we dont create traffic to the commuters except in departures
3) we dont trust in nobody except ourselves, in Viareggio a german freight train rent derailed killing 32 people(families in their homes sleeping mostly) by an explosion of gpl due the not existent safety mesures of Germany(so actually no Siemens available for us, thankfully)...we forced Germany to stop this but outside the trains are far less safe, that's why mostly we delay
Switzerland, Netherlands, France & Italy
So happy of that finland part showing HÄMEENLINNA TRAIN STATION! I live in Turenki, Hämeenlinna's side town. 😁

I agree with that!
whats wrong with the UK
Terrainaheadpullup hundreds of companies lacking infrastructure and delays
@@dandagames6030 in switzerland trains do 40mph
@@terrainaheadpullup3092 thats not all trains, thats just slow commuter trains and mountain trains like anywhere else in the world, switzerland also has fast trains between the cities and major towns in the flatter parts of the country but obviously in the mountains trains can not go as fast. the swiss have prioritised efficiency over speed which makes their system work, trains are to the minute on time and all mode of transports are integrated so that you can continue your journey quicker, in towns outside the main cities the train will pull into the station and all the local buses will be timed to arrive at the same time so everyone can change. rural communities are also incredibly well served with very frequent trains at all times of the day.
All this in comparison to the shambolic nature of the UK railways which are always late, expensive for a poor service with frequent delays, and an entire network that is not integrated well enough because of all the seperate companies, gradually since the beeching cuts as well rural service has become increasingly poor especially in the North of england and wales as well as rural scotland.
In switzerland the trains are pricey but the service is punctual, fast and works together with other modes of transport. in the uk trains are late, infrastructure is poorly maintained, and the rising ticket prices are inexcusable, the UK rail system is overall, shite.
I like the dutch railways, as they get along quite well in this crowded country.
My Top 5 are:
1. SBB / They have good Trains. They are not delayed. And are connecting Switzerland very good.
2. SNCF / I dont now much About SNCF but their Trains are fast and I was one time in Paris and no Train was delayed.
3. ÖBB / The ÖBB have got very modern Trains and they havent got very much delay on their Trains.
4. MÁV / I´m from Hungary but I know a lot of their Trains. They are fast Nothing has delay in Budapest (My expiriance) And the most of them is brand new or will be modernised in near future.
5. CD / I can only hear good comments About CD . Their Trains are comfortable and are Looking good for a nice Trip :)
/Bonus/ DB / I dont like the DB because there are so many People on the Trains and ist so expensive. And at least every second Train is delayed. No joke. I was in Germany and I nearly missed the next Train because of delay!
@@attilaagardi7053Hát. Budapesti vagyok :P
Switezerland, austria, poland, germano,france, tchèque
Czech Republic - one of the highest railway densities in the world, there are (still used) train tracks everywhere. When a train is delayed connecting trains usually wait. On many routes they still use quite old rolling stock, with cabins and the best: windows which are able to open! Love that!
Fares are very cheap, on domestic sectors usually just a few Euros. The SC Pendolino (fastest train in the Czech Republic) is very comfortable and the fare in 2nd class includes water, newspapers and wifi.
Definitely not Germany. Travel a lot by train in Germany and I hate it. Mostly late and super expensive.
I agree. The Czech Republic has a lot of modern trains than the train that Henrik227 presents. And we also have a National carrier České dráhy.
SXFlyer Been to prague multiple times. Barely anybody travels by train over there, and all of your trains are just a few carriages long.
I agree, I ve been in the Czech Republic and I love it! Trains are always on time, cheap and go to the most remote places. Here in the Netherlands trains are a bit more expensive and don't go to all places, but all trains are quite recent build (oldest from the 1980s) and frequenty is crazy (Intercity every 10 min on some lines).
@@daanwillemsen223 But I see the main problem with the train which Henrik227 has chosen. With squealing brakes. Half of Czech trains does have brakes which practically do not squeal and this train it would be fine to add. Other problems I have found in the part where Greece is shown (you can see only changing locomotives) and in the part where Poland is shown (last part is made in Wien Hauptbahnhof and the Locomotive is Škoda 109E constructed in Plzeň, West Czechia.

Nice compilation, and comparison between each country. Personally i view the Eurasia rail system as whole system connecting villages with towns, towns with cites and country to country. I travel a lot on the railways from my local station in the UK to many different countries across Eurasia. Who needs air planes when you can use this great rail system. Each country you pass through has many differences from the last, the only constant in all this is the railway. Happy to see you aboard abroad.

Well, here in the southern parts of Sweden, where the company : " Skånetrafiken " operates, the trains are often late, and more often than not : cancelled, due to staff shortages, signals that don`t work or track work, that often happens on the worst time, when many people ride trains. Several people now drive cars to work instead of riding trains, due to all the problems.
Did you miss a few because there is limited footage, or information, or both. Love the vids, keep 'em coming

The first train from denmark is actually a swedish train as it said SJ and not DSB on the side.
I was about to point that out as well. 1 or 2 of the trains where semi danish/swedish. Only 1 of the trains in those videos where genuinley danish.
Yes, the SJ train go from Stockholm to Copenhagen.
And we arlsow had öresundstog/oeresundstrain, SJ/dsb, that goes from Helsingø to Helsingborg via Cph and Malmø C, and to other larger citys in Skåne/Skaene.

You forgot Luxembourg (train company: CFL). To me the best railways in Europe are the Swiss Railways, followed by the Austrian, German, Dutch, Belgian, British and Czech railways. One I don't like is the French one. They spend all of their money on the high speed network, while the regional trains suffer from bad service and poor maintenance of the infrastructure (for example, Railroad Crossing closing failures are quite common in France).

I didn't put them in a particular order, but I only rode on both the Dutch and German railways for a handful of minutes in total. And I only took 1 NS train in the Netherlands, the other ones were from Arriva. I precise in the Netherlands because I already took another NS train in Belgium between Brussels and Antwerp, the Benelux train.
And Luxembourg is planning to do public transport in the whole country for free in some years!
Yes I read that ! That would be cool, the only thing I'll have to pay would be a return ticket between Brussels and Luxembourg
Switzerland, not only for efficiency but for customer service. We got vouchers for free food/drinks on any train because our train was 5 minutes late leaving.

Nice to hear!
Switzerland, and their reliability. There was an uproar a few years ago when SBB wanted to remove the 'second' hands from station clocks to save on repairs and costs. They still remain! That shows dedication. Here in the UK, a train can roll into a station 5 minutes behind schedule as still be 'on time'.
Germany is worth about on time. After a specific delay, trains are canceled and off time, so they do not appear in statistics as late...
11:41 I rode with this type train on the Otopeni Airport Express in Bucharest!
I beleive Bosnia still uses steam locomotives regularly!
5:00 nice catch of an electric locomotive purely coasting!
Estonia also uses off-the-shelf American-built Dash 7s for freight service
Poland also ran steam regularly until the 1990s, i think.
I think there also might still be regularly operating steam in Serbia too
The UK (I consider it separate from the rest of Europe), Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, France, Sweden, Bosnia, and Russia are some of my favorite European rail systems. But I do like that Portugal and romania have a series of private operators without a National operator like the UK.

Not really. The Swisssystem is modern and ALWAYS on Time. I live in Switzerland and in 25 Years of train traveling the biggest delay we had was 25 Minutes...
"Best" is a subjective superlative. Before embarking on a comparison exercise, one must first define a set of criteria by which different railway systems are rated -- "comparing apples to apples". Some of those criteria may include geographic coverage, median speed, on-time record, average age of equipment, on-board facilities (hard products) and associated amenities, comfort, quality of service, etc. Off the top of my head based on my own experience, without having done any due-diligence analysis, I would vote for SBB/CFF/FFS (Switzerland), DB (Germany), and SNCF (France).
Further thoughts: 1) For domestic routes, total system length is a misleading metric; it must be "normalized" to take into account the size of a country -- for example, kilometers of tracks per square kilometer; 2) for international routes, appropriate metric(s) must be devised to reflect the extent of reach.
Although you did do a really nice video, I will have to say you misused some footage, particularly for Moldova. You could tell this because Moldova doesn't even have electrified railway, at all. What you filmed are Romanian trains. Ironically thou, at 27:35 you did film the train that connects Bucharest with Chisinau (capital of Moldova) and the blue wagons you could clearly see a different build configuration that resembles the Russian and Ukrainian wagons.
Other than that, keep up the good work!

Acesta era comentariul pe care il cautam! Multumesc ca ai lamurit! 👏🏻
Mă pregăteam să comentez despre eroarea cu trenurile "moldovenești" și am dat peste comentariul tău.🙂
Nice
Personally I'd say the Netherlands, they have one of the most connected rail networks I've seen across Europa, from "Stoptreinen" (Trains that stop along every (if not most) stations along the route) to a High Speed rail line between The Hague and Eindhoven (this due to Rotterdam-Breda being a High Speed connection (excluding via Dordrecht here),
But the amount of trains you have in the Randstad Metropolitan Area is insane. Haarlem - Amsterdam is served with trains every 5 to 7 minutes, most lines with the most remote stops are served with 2 trains per hour at the minimum (excluding other operators like NMBS (who operates border stations Maastricht and Roosendaal with 1 train per hour).
I do admit, fares ARE expensive in the Netherlands (Which is not a problem if you're a frequent traveller with a subscription, which can go as low as 31 euro's per month for Unlimited weekend travel). And the SLT (Sprinter Light Train) are also a curse if you're a first class traveller, they don't offer any kind of sockets or wifi, nor toilets in most trains.
I'd say NMBS/SNCB does quite a good job too in Europe, but I can't say much good things apart from their VERY comfortable InterCity trains, they operate a lot of important lines with way too less trains, and they're too crowded often (Especially from De Panne to Gent, or Mechelen to Brussels). Most lines however only have 1 to 4 trains per hour, which is disappointing as it results in a VERY long transfer time (50 minutes for my usual transfer on Antwerpen Centraal (one of the largest stations!))... and delays are not uncommon at NMBS shall I say (they often are delayed 8-20 minutes.. after 20 minutes you have a high chance on your train being cancelled in the middle of nowhere, resulting in you being unable to catch your connection even with a long transfer time)
I like the Hungarian Trains. But I´m from Hungary and I know that there are better Trains as that old Passenger (not the InterCity) There is a BR 185 too. But next time find a Clip from Keleti Station :) there are better trains
I love the train system in Spain because I live there
I loved traveling with RENFE. Very good and comfortable train system👍🏽
Thank you for this view onto the european railway systems. It is really a wonderful nice video, which i loved to watch.
It is a pity that in such a video it's only possible to show a small part of the trains and eqipment of every country. So for exemple in Germany the "Deutsche Bahn" has still the absolute majority in long-distance passenger transports but many of the shorter distance transports are in the hands of private Companies, and the lines and local nets are given to the executing company only for 8 years or so by a traffic authority of the regional federal land. That means there is a wide activity of private train operater-companies, while the tracks belong to the "Deutsche Bahn Net" in the ownership of the Federal Republic of Germany.
San Marino has by far the best rail network in Europe. Trains are never late, there are no incidents and best of all you dont have to pay for it.
ÖBB RailJet, plain awesome and straight dope !
It is ridiculous that the Polish railway shows show the most modern Czech locomotive and Hungarian wagons and pictures of Czech railways show the locomotive 25 years old and Slovak railways locomotives 50 years old :) The most modern Czech locomotives is more widespread in Poland than in the country of the producer and their brotherly country Slovakia?
This is how made misinformation :)
It is author's mistake. That's not promo video. If it would be PKP promo video there would be lots of Alstom Pendolino, Stadler Flirts, Pesa Darts, Newag Impuls and EU44 (Siemens ES64U) and maybe some vectrons. That doesn't mean we don't lease locos from CD, because we do, due to the engines shortages... Unfortunately
Nice compilation!
My top picks :
1. Germany
2. Austria
3. France
4. Switzerland
5. The Netherlands
1.)Switzerland
2.)Germany
3.)France
4.)United Kingdom
5.)Netherlands
(I'm British btw, our only flaw is slight unpunctuality. But that's nothing out of the ordinary for Europe.)
UK in the 4th position? Are you kidding us? UK has one of the most primitive and slow rail systems in all of Europe.
Taperet First of all there’s no “us”, second of all we’re the best of tier 2, the rest of tier 2 is Netherlands, Italy, etc, whereas tier 3 (the worst in Europe), is mostly Slavic countries, and with your logic, seeing as you’re from Spain presumably, you have an inferior train system to us anyway, which in reality you do, so you kinda shot yourself in the foot with those outright fallacies.
@@Taperet in Italy 10 years ago it was worse...
Luxembourg :)
Do australia plz
I think you made a little mistake showing footage from Vienna in the Poland section. Otherwise pretty interesting video, thanks! :)
Slovakia and Czech republic -good,but in future will be best
Interesting to see how many east European operators still use old Czech(oslovak) engines from 1960s and 1970s, made by Škoda and/or ČKD.
Yes,
Czechoslovakia rules the locos,
East Germany rules the coaches,
UdSSR and Hungary rule the multiple units.
I love the trains in Albania, Moldavia, Greece and Ireland.
As a Czech I felt a bit offenced regarding OUR train figuring in Poland ;-) But what has me really surprised was Bosnia.
1. Switserland
2. Netherlands
Also meiner Meinung nach:SBB
DB und ÖBB:)
DB ist scheiße man.

Not having ridden any of the railways in Europe, I really can't give you an answer as to which is the best. But I'm partial to Switzerland with its five gauges! They must make it a priority to serve even remote mountain towns, hence the reason for the multiple widths of track.
They could have used suspension monorail for rural mountain towns
I think Austria, Switzerland and Netherlands are all pretty good systems any country would want to try and emulate.
Dont forget the world speed record for the France : 1955 = 331 kmh, 1981 = 380 kmh, 1990 = 515 kmh, 2007 = 574 kmh, actually the Japan hold the record at 600 kmh ! Please Europa make united !
China is trying to get 630 km/h
P.S. I'm American, and have traveled the US rail system from Chicago to San Francisco five times as a teenager. It used to be outstanding, but is now is 3rd rate.
In some parts of the US, passenger rail is almost nonexistent, and where it does exist it must usually share the rails with freight trains. Some large cities have commuter rail but few intercity trains. A hundred years ago in New England there were passenger trains everywhere, but now most of the rights-of-way have been given up. The automotive/oil interests put them out of business.
Axel Stabursvik, In the US, the various corporations that own most of the rails and rights-of-way can make money on hauling freight, but the subsidies and income from passenger trains is inadequate, so they do not make improvements for higher-speed use or for the added traffic on their limited facilities. We've spent billions on our Interstate highway system but virtually nothing on railroads. The auto and oil interests like it that way.
fan8281, certainly most US cities would benefit from an integrated rail/metro/tram system, but a couple of things make it difficult. While many European cities are compact area of high population surrounded by farm/forest/open land, we suffer from suburban sprawl. Our populations are spread out over a large area. Many European cities have upgraded preexisting rail and streetcar rights of way, but we've given up most of them, and acquiring new rights of way would be horrendously expensive. And in the US, people are still in love with their cars.
I've visited the UK several times and never had to rent a car. The Tube, rail and bus services will get you just about everywhere, and I'm envious.
fan8281 I liked your pun. In the US, taking land by eminent domain for a "social" interest isn't easy, especially when the land has been developed for housing, and it can be very costly. In the suburbs, many towns require a house to be on an acre or more of land, so there aren't many areas of contiguous undeveloped property. A hundred years ago there were railroads everywhere, but most of those corridors have become highways, hiking trails or housing developments - very shortsighted! There is not enough public sentiment yet to enact laws that will encourage these expensive eggs to be cracked!
Nice comparation video. But there is a mistake in Czech Republic. The Check main operator is CD - České dráhy. Regiojet, LeoExpress, Arriva and other are only the private operators.

Polish one is absolutely prefect.
First is says - Polish national railway - while showing local 'Lesser Poland' (Cracovian) regional railway
Next is proper EMU of PKP (Stadler FLIRT2 if i remember correctly)
Next still called polish is Czech Train (Ceskie Drahy on the side) in Vien Hbh XD
(I know we all want poland to anex all of Carpatia but pump the brakes a little)
CFL Luxembourg is the best! It is free (from 2020). Don't miss out the little ones!
Many of you will not know that the UK rail system is in a little crisis,as the prices are too high and the system is not very reliable.
Same goes for Denmark to be honest. The State Railroads here are expensive, not on time and they've cut back so many of the services on board that it's simply not worth the price. It's so bad now the government is trying to promote intercity buses as the future. That is unless private companies start running intercity trains in Denmark like we see in Sweden with MTR, Snälltåget and Tågab.
I guess you didnt once tryed the German one, they get more and more billions of tax money and their service gets worse and worse, and prices are geting higher too.
now, it's not so bad at all. Booking early, you can get quite cheap Tickets, and 70% late does also mean 30% just in time. I, lucky as I am, get the 30%, mostly :-D

I'll take your word for it, as I've only traveled US rail for those two short trips mentioned, and that was in the 1960's.
Here's a funny tidbit re air travel: DC to NYC, 1966, with FBI clients (looking for funding for a new radio system):
They, were so proper and up tight and observed all the traffic rules, and were so sure of themselves, but guess who left the car keys in the trunk when we parked it and headed for the plane?
