Where Indonesian bullet train. Fist High speed train in Southeast Asia and the Southern Hemisphere
Why no updates about India?
@@carkawalakhatulistiwa these are just previous videos, they haven't covered Indonesia yet, shame
Please include all of the BUILD BUILD BUILD and BUILD BETTER MORE Infrastructure Projects here in the Philippines!
A small part of me was hoping we get a 1,5h video on new train projects. This is also cool though :)
Doth mine eyes deceive me? An HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTE EPISODE??????
they're all from old videos on the channel, nothing new
On a Sunday too!!
I'm stoked for this too 😊
*SAD that the channel adheres to politics.*
It omits the second biggest railroad project this century after the Chinese: the increase of the Russian railroads transit capacity from 90 to 250 (by 2030) million tonnes per year. Because it would destroy the propaganda that Russia is about to collapse, even though the exact opposite is happening.
FRED IS GAY
Fred talking trains for an hour and a half?! My day is made.
Fred talking about trains is heaven on its own
Same
@@Caine329 Fred talking about anything is great. A calming voice compared to for example
www.youtube.com/@GamersNexus/videos
which always starts to annoy me after a couple of minutes.
yeh, the guy is a top man, brilliant videos - the industry ought to put him even higher ..for education, marketing etc for different projects for companies, governments and the industry in general
I didnt know we have the same name, that's why hes go good and handsome! ;)
That HS2 project seems pretty cool. I wonder when it will be done💀
30th February, 2163, :p
phase 2&3 are already canceled, so its only gonna connect London to broke berminghan
Once China owns the entire earth and its renamed to the people’s planet of China. The Chinese will then come in and finish it in 6 months and 100x under budget.
@@akeel_1701 Overly optimistic 😢
still going to be done before california HSR
As a Brit this dropping now is just adding insult to injury...
RIP HS2
Yeah it's aged badly
What? Has it been cancelled?
@@amodmishra3030pretty much most of it😂 and it's not even going to London Euston
The English F@#$ing up?
Sovereignty!
This is sticking the knife into the UK. We can't even get a railway from London to Birmingham, let alone to the far far distant land of Manchester
Our country has basically failed at everything for the last 40 years
We really are the most ineffective, useless country in the G7 - probably the entire western hemisphere. Look at China - so good at making high-speed rail lines they've almost been building them for fun, putting lines and stations in for towns that don't even exist. We can't even get proper sewage systems that don't destroy our waterways, and I bet we pay a fortune compared to most other countries for the "privilege" of paying these private companies to do so.

TH-cam needs more content creators like The B1M. Good researched information, presented from a neutral point of view. I highly appreciate your work, done with these projects.
great content, but hardly neutral point of view.
@@SummerSausage1 What do you mean hardly neutral? They only make videos on engineering projects. Do you think there's a political agenda here? xD
They don't really have a bias, whilst they don't understand broader geopolitical and demographic factors, who cares its an engineering programe.@@SummerSausage1
@SummerSausage1 we aren't watching the same videos then.
It's about the engineering. And when it does get into the nitty-gritty, I definitely heard both sides.
You just have a lack of understanding for engineering which is why when we watch the same video you don't realize what it's missing out on, because you lack that knowledge to begin with. Engineering, and especially grandiose engineering projects are about the environment it's in, just as much as it is about the actual project itself. The basic concept is to transform the earth into something more useful for humanity, and if you rewatch the video you will see that that aspect of every projects mentioned is lacking. This is a well made video, but lacking crucial detail about every project, such as the landscape prior, during, and most importantly after. He even realizes this by showing maps of trains, but lacks the depth of anything past that, such as topography, forrests, desserts, etc. The list can go on, but it's clear you lack any educational background in engineering so to someone as primitive as yourself in a field you have no understanding in, I can see why you think the way you do. It's not a jab at your, it's just human nature. People don't know what they don't know. @@MaddJakd
OMG. An hour and a half of B1M is EXACTLY what I need tonight. Informative, entertaining, soothingly narrated and for 90 whole minutes? I might actually be calm when I fall asleep
agreed
+
1 hour of B1M is like a Christmas gift
As a fellow Brit, I'm just here to say RIP HS2. This administration couldn't plan a piss up in a brewery
or a slaughter in an abbatoir
As a Brummie it's heart-breaking HS2 will not go to Manchester and Leeds - the government are ensuring it will never happen by selling off land on the route up north. Why can't we be an ambitious country anymore?
Classic tories. Promise the world in an era of populism (spend to win votes in north) but when you know you're gonna lose the next election revert to old school principles the hardcore call for re scrapping infrasturre projects, lower taxes & generally setting the house of fire so you can blame the new govt for it.
Really sad. I think train tracks should be built no matter the costs, as it is permanent infrastruture. When should we built it, when we don't built it now?
Stop electing the Tories.
It's an act of economic vandalism from a bunch of toddlers told playtime is over.
IF your new high speed railway project spends 100s of millions of dollars to avoid chopping down a few hundred trees there's a good chance it's a bad project.
fun timing with the HS2 announcement
Even if it's older content compiled, this is something I've wanted for years. It's a great way to find everything on a topic in one place! And i love long content too!
Its fun to watch, but it's no longer accurate.
Railfans rejoice! Another B1M video focusing on railroads. It’s even an hour long.
Question isn’t this a compilation of railroad projects that B1M has discussed in the past? I know they did a video on all of these railways in the past except the Australian Cross River Rail.
Yes it is
@@DontReadMyProfilePicture.104okay I won't 😎
New subscriber, even I've seen the Australian Cross River Rail episode. Don't know how you missed it. This is just a compilation of different ones, nothing new here.
You know its deadly serious when bro casually delivered +1 hour documentary
ABSOLUTELY amazing projects, but something is missing, how are high-speed railway line infrastructure maintained, I think this could be an interesting documentary...
Over 1 hour of B1M? what a treat
😮 I did not see this coming! 90 mins of B1M? WHAT!!! 🎉 I’m still not over the occasional 30 min Wednesday episodes. ❤ I hope to see more of these B1M long form series in the future. ❤ THANKS GUYS!
Not only is China's HSR network amazing, but the incorporation of 3rd party services into the network will blow everyones mind. I travel on HSR in China regularly and at times had McDonalds delivered to my seat when we pull up to a major station, friends have had Starbucks or Pizza delivered to their seats, all ordered through the app. You can practically order anything you want.
I noticed that city planning looks more structured and organized in China than in Japan or the US. Could B!M make a video on urban planning in China vs Japan vs US?
China has one big advantage, the people can't protest, everything is forced upon them.
The government doesn’t have to worry about people’s rights or fair compensation
this is the type of content I love seeing. Public Infrastructure is such a vital part of creating a liveable future.
Thanks for sharing.
Bring back the TRAINS, all over the world, please!
I'm loving this long-form content!
The editing level has gone 📈📈.......love it!❤
Very well explained. These railways projects are very great
I love this video and I’m suprised it hasn’t gotten more views. As a Palestinian Canadian I admire and love Omani people for sticking to our true Arab culture and showing it’s real beauty. Omani people represent the best of the Arab culture and what they should all aspire to show to the world.
Click on it automatically. Listen.
Wait. This seems longer.
30 min.
?
Can't watch it in one sitting, but will save to finish it.
Absolutely excellent quality as usual.
You earn every dollar you get.
Thanks for keeping me entertained while giving information, B1M. You haven't failed me since I found this channel. It's more than 3 years since and I'm really happy that this channel keeps being better!
A brilliant series of stories, full of fact and reality. I only wish America could embrace high speed across the country, but I doubt I will see it my lifetime. Thanks Fred Mills and team B1M.
America embraced trains in the past two centuries, where they belong. Trains have no place in America in the 21st century and beyond. Too inflexible. It's right there in the name "fixed rail."
@@DouglasLippi they still do for local areas just not everywhere but high speed rail would be nice city to city
Nooo waaayy!!! Finally a piece of dialog from the intro of the podcast in one of your videos: "I'm against the train, the way it's being done right now"! At min 1:33. The cycle of B1M is complete! @TheB1M
Also, 1.5hr video?? I clicked on it thinking it was a 15 min video! Crazy stuff
LET'S GO!
Rip HS2
Good
Wow you always keep inserting us B1M an spreading awareness on important topics!
I am unable to convey how much I love the accuracy and diligence shown in these videos!
200 years ago British built the first railway for Chinese. But China has built 42,000km HSR, it is sharing its technology with Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia at a cost 1l5x cheaper than UK and 5x faster on completion.
Ok sheep
Hi Fred and team, I'd personally love a follow up on the HS2 analysis now that phase 2A has been cancelled.
There's been a lot of rhetoric saying that the reason it's been hugely over budget is due to nimbys in the home counties forcing the lines underground and I'd like to know whether this was actually the case or not, cheers!
Keep up the great work!
More than half of the leg being built to Birmingham is underground, so that makes sense.
I wonder if there's a good calculation how much poorer a person is due to lack of connection.
Trains probably have a big potential to make people less poor by reducing the costs of importing and exporting, even domestically.
economic gains are much more significant when it comes to transfer of goods i think...
Stop listening to NIMBYS
@@ayoCCwell let’s be honest land reform is the only way to get stuff done the Asians were right
Compa! , I'm not involved in or studying any of this architecture stuff, but all your videos are a visual and mental delight. Greetings from Mexico!!! 😮💨😮💨🇲🇽
China is just amazing. Its not just the hsr network which is a lot more developed there
Hi from Brisbane, Australia. The Olympics has divided the state with many thinking it to be a waste of money. I personally welcome them as our city will fast track (no pun intended) a lot of prejects like our rail system (a number of new rail lines being funded or in a development stage atm, like Cross River Rail, Gold Coast lines with completely new stations and several business cases to extend other lines out to access more of the Sunshine Coast or linking the Springfield line to Ipswich and much more), new busways (Brisbane Metro and other Busway extensions) and road upgrades (motorways and local council roads) that are sorely needed. We will have brand new state of the art stadium upgrades and a bunch of new entertainments precincts like The Gabba upgrade, a new Brisbane Live entertainment venue, new casino due to open 2024, more green bridges around the city for active transport and a bunch of other things. I'm excited to see how the city will look in 9 years time for the Olympics. I do feel for the rest of the state though as there's a majority of money being invested in the CBD and there are a lot more cities in the state then just Brisbane.
Best of luck. The Olympics rarely benefit the host area in the long-term
How are they going to stop the underground being wrecked when the river floods? Has that come up in discussions?
Boy am I excited for a 90 minute B1M video!!
also note that China also building railway projects in southeast asia, they are building it in thailand, laos, indonesia and malaysia at the same time
The US used to do that; good, practical help to small countries. A new port or road improves trade for all. Now we seem to just intimidate -or supply weapons for proxy-intimidation.
I love railways/high speed trains.
Me too !!!
China's assembly line approach to standardization and central dispatching are key elements to the success and quick return on investment of the system. Once the lines are in motion and regular use, the immediate benefits start a positive snowball effect on trade and efficiency, similar to what we saw moving autos and trucks from surface roads to the Interstate system.
The production quality of these presentations continues to amaze me. Subject matter and research as well! Well done.
Been watching for a while, loved you opening up regarding your personal journey recently and support for construction workers mental health. Imagine my shock when I realized I wasn't sub'd already for this epicly long video. 😊 Big thanks for the great content!
I didn't see how long this video actually is until like 40 minutes in. Wow and each time we got to a new project I thought 'oh it's still going?'
Really awesome video so far and I'm fully into this. I've seen the HS2 parts before but did not skip because I wanted it to refresh the info.
90 minutes? A Movie?! I'll have to come back to this! What a treat for Sunday!
Thank the gods! A feature length episode, cheers
I love hearing about the standard-speed railway expansion projects.. searching up "new railways", no matter how many times you specify "not high speed", will only be high-speed rail projects!
an hour and half of new train projects 🤤🤤
HS2 lol. Another troy masterpiece.
The digital twin was definitely one of the coolest parts i imagine we will be seeing alot more of that
Japan was the first country to have a high-speed rail network, and their entire high-speed rail system has NEVER had an accident which caused a fatality since it started running in 1964. That's billions and billions of trips with zero serious accidents. An absolutely incredible safety record, making even modern air-travel seem dangerous by comparison, with fantastic energy efficiency as well (of course).
A railway project yeeeeeeeeeea
Excellent production. Shows how different countries tackle similar problems of the design. development and economics of building railways. This is by far one of the best B1M productions to date. Best hour an a half I have spent in a long time.
Railways are always interesting.
If these projects are the most epic, I must watch the entire video right now.
Update: done. very nice
You gave so much time to that boring HS2 than other important ones
The HS2 segment of this episode didn't age well 😣🤷♂️
The people did not "in a way" chose to do HS2, the public directly chose to do it by choosing their representatives!
An hour and 30 minutes of B1M goodness, I am pleased. Congratulations to you and your team for your hard work and excellent production quality.
thanks for adding Cross River Rail to the list. Its only a fraction of a wider rail expansion in brisbane
That HS2 where it's now due to finish at East Midlands Parkway (Nottinghamshire / Derbyshire border, just a few mins up the road from me), was set to go through my town of Long Eaton, Derbyshire (Again not far from East Midlands Parkway), on a massive viaduct, onward to the current rail freight area of Toton (J25, M1 / A52) and north via the Erewash Valley Line, and has brought untold misery for us in Long Eaton.
Mentioning Toton and East Midlands Parkway, there is already ample scope to run services especially via the upper level freight line to Toton (Trent Junction, Long Eaton, where the current Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester / London St Pancras services converge), offering a large cost saving, and a massively reduced environmental impact in the area, not that it matters now, however I feel for many in the town, after a number of properties was compulsory purchased, and now it's not even going ahead.
I live in Dubai, and I'm happy to say that when you first dropped the Etihad rails video, none of it's construction site reach Dubai but a small glimpse of it was seen on Abu Dhabi (I worked near the station for it in Kizad). People didn't know about it back then, and I would always happily say information of it from the video to anyone who was with me and we passed that small glimpse. Now that the construction reached Dubai, I'm still happy to say that I _still_ state information from the video XD
Now, a tidbit of my own. Etihad in Arabic means Union
thank you for this MOVIE of construction...watched all of the videos before, but it was a joy to watch it again...when i started i felt depressed, and now i feel like building or designing something...this really helps creativity...
OMG! This must be the longest B1M clip that I have ever watched! It's all good. I truly hope that Mexico gets their rail network up and running, as it appears that they not only deserve it but desperately need it :) DM.
When I saw the duration of the video, I was like 'that's a good movie for the weekend '. Thanks Fred and the the team for putting all this together.
Ohhhh 1hour+ train content by the one and onlyyy
Nice collection. Had missed the Brisbane one, but was nice to revise on the others again
Just outstanding.
Here in Indonesia we are currently developing our own HSR called KCMP (Kereta Cepat Merah Putih) with top speed 220km/h and hope to be applied in Sumatra island in 2025
😅 220 kmph is not high speed on new lines.
Old lines yes.
I wonder why our new WHOOSH HSR has yet to be featured in B1M?
goodluck paying back those ridiculously high interest rates to the chinese who are now experiencing a slowdown in economic growth. they are going to aggressively demand that loan plus interest back quickly 😂😂😂
320-330kmh is the top speed
haha, sneaking the bus jump scene from Speed in - very nice touch!
I ❤ trains.
Absolutely love the long form content!
Will have to watch this in chunks, however, looking forward to it. Thank you.
I’m loving this episode but sadly this week HS2 got cancelled 😢
No it didn't
@@FreeFlyerUk care to explain? Because Rishi cancelled it on TV. All news outlets confirmed. What am I missing here?
The leg from Birmingham to Manchester was cancelled. The rest is being built.
B1M has become one of my favorite TH-cam channels. Interesting subjects with good information. Very well done!
"Those countries who've invested in HSR, have never regretted it."
90+ minutes of B1M!? Now we're talking!
As much as I love trains, I find modern trains ugly and boring....
More long B1M videos like this please! 👍🏻👌🏼👏🏻🥇🏆
Wow, never noticed your eyes before, majestic.
Get your popcorn ready, this guy is talking about trains for 1 and 30 minutes.
You the man, Fred! Keep it up
Can't wait for the Tren Maya ! 🙌💫🇲🇽🚄♥️
Great video! I have worked at several high-speed rail projects in east Asia as a civil engineer (consultant).
I enjoy your videos mate, you keep me informed & updated with projects around the world thanks
👍🇦🇺
Like Henry Ford once said: "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses”
In the end everyone gets a better live with trains, no matter what the downsides are. Infrastructure is key.
Quality content, thanks. 👍
I hope this becomes your most viewed episode! Trains + b1m + 90 minutes = success !
Can't say I love compilation videos.
Omfg That was a very looooong video. Please never do this again, because its imposible to stop watching it )))
Great comprehensive video!
Mad props for pronouncing Brisbane correctly!! Also the worst thing about the cross river rail is so much funding has been put towards it that roadworks and maintenance have been left behind. Queensland road network is in a shocking state now because of lack of funding.
Props to a Brit for speaking English properly? Yeah sure.
@@seaweeded Don't worry mate I have heard many brits pronounce Brisbane wrong. ("Bris-bane" instead of how it should be pronounced "Bris-ben/bin")
This was a great video put together, absolutely good piece of information. Great work!!
so informative thanks
Thank you for this long episode during my rest day. Now gonna buy some foods.
Finally, a movie im willing to pay for 🍿
Brisbane's got both Cross River Rail and Metro going on at the same time which will hopefully complement each other. We'll see how we go by 2032 for the Olympics. Would love to see vids about this as well to compare electric bus trams to rail trams
god i love learning about construction and having moral philosophy included. its so fascinating
CROSSRAIL......They did a major transportation project in London called the Elizabeth line a magnificent build and major time saver for people in the city....
We are feinds for new content like this. We also appreciate everything you do.
Awesome/epic video!
