Thanks, so interesting to see other systems. Honestly, what I kept thinking throughout was how expensive it must be to run a service with such huge luxurious seats. Additionally, so few of them and then to have so much extra unnecessary space that you can devote large areas to a kids playrooms and a cafe car that can only seat a tiny handful - but good gods, those seats in the cafe were incredible! Norway is such a fascinating place, so much fricking wealth spread between a tiny population- albeit with a good democratic government that has used that oil wealth wisely so you end up with public spaces and services that are shockingly good. I would love those trains here, but there is absolutely zero chance of that, our trains are twice as long and far more seats per carriage and they’re still completely full most times. Fwiw, your English is very good and easily understood- I am always taken aback by how well people in The Netherlands, Sweden and Norway especially can speak English.
I loved this video!! The music, and the amount of talking ratio was perfect, and I think adding the environmental impact made this video so special. Awesome!
Thank you so much. I have to say that for the Norway video's the music is also something I think that matches great. Right now I'm in Taiwan (kind of 2nd home) and my girlfriend doesn't want me to use any Asian kind of music haha, that's going to be hard.
I've used this line on several occasions the last year, and the panoramic single seats have always been my go-tos. There's only two of them but they've usually been available when booking a week in advance. Great video!
Mr. Trainviking - you do such a good job with every trip report. This one was particularly strong. Norway is a beautiful country and now I have another part of the country to visit whenever I go back.
I know really a pitty, however there are several companies that want to re launch this connection. When I took this ferry after this video it was one of the last times the ferry went to Eemshaven, after that it went to Germany. Also the boat they where using, wasn't suitable for this route I guess. I honestly think there should be more space for freight and less focus on mini cruise (also mini cruise but as a side business, if you only look.at the amount of Salmon from Norway we are consuming in Europe, we can fill a ferry easily with trucks).
They are working on setting up a cruise ship for a connection to Holland instead of . Since port authority in Krs said “ it was no more room for ferries “ as questions about new Holland ferry responded to . So hopefully a mini cruise travel is underway as new option . No news lately , but they are working on it .
@@Trainviking Oh gaaf! Veel plezier daar! Ik zag inderdaad te laat dat het in april gefilmd was. Je kon de datum op de on board displays zien in de trein :)
Man the train is just full of quirky nordic design choices. I mean where else would you have a space intended for a door and say "Oh I know, lets have big panorama windows and atypical ammenities there" like the extra panoramic single seats or the lounge chairs in the cafe car. Its honestly more akin to design choices you'd find onboard Nordic built ships around the same era.
The bus between Bergen and Stavanger and back again do not need to be booked in advance. If there are no seats left they fetch another bus in addition to
Oh really? I didn't knew that. However I guess it's always good to play safe, just more relaxed to travel (as a tourist, for locals this might be different). Just like for today's video I'll post, totally different country though haha.
God kveld, min venn, den første tanken er postgraduate studier og nøye vurderinger for å gi e-plasser, ikke alle tog, ikke forbedre jernbanesektorene. En atmosfære av interesse for å sponse dette prosjektet, og jeg ønsker suksess for suksessen til dette prosjektet, og min respekt, ikke alle dere, og jeg utsetter parkering og forskning, ikke de største butikkene, ikke busser, ikke vedlikehold av alle tog og innenriks og reisebusser fra Teori er holdninger, ingenting kreves, rangeringer kreves ikke, og alle prosjekter er vellykkede. Takk. Facebook er fransk. Takk.
Very informative and enjoyable video! As for your English, it’s amazing. Many thanks from across the North Sea in Newcastle 🙂

Great to hear that, thank you so much.
Sadly the ferry line between Kristiansand and the Netherlands is no longer operative, as the company went bankrupt a few months ago...

Ik weet niet hoe lang je hier nog bent, maar aankomende maandag/dinsdag - is er een hele grote kans om het noorderlicht te zien vanaf Oslo!
Klinkt heel gaaf, maar deze video is in april van dit jaar opgenomen. Ik zit nu in Taiwan.
@@Trainviking Oh gaaf! Veel plezier daar! Ik zag inderdaad te laat dat het in april gefilmd was. Je kon de datum op de on board displays zien in de trein :)
The Russ walking around in Stavanger really gave away that this was shot in April/May 😎
@trainviking which 1 do u recommend stavanger to Oslo by bus or train?
By train obviously.
Your English is perfectly fine!
Sänk ju
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
