Europeans love skiing. That’s why you have all those trains to all the major capitals. It’s a wonderful train journey I took it ones years ago all the way from Amsterdam
In the wintertime Aime station can be referred to as the Gare-du-Nord on the ice! I'm impressed how many international trains this little station handles. The scenery is beautiful and eye-catching, indeed: the Alps plus a wide selection of high-speed trains. I love the Thalys livery but the TGVs looks smart too.
I grab the train(S100 Alicante-Madrid) every weekend, as I work there, and k find your videos very interesting to see how big the variety of trains is, and the stations as well. Thanks!
6:08 - you’re lucky the bar was almost empty. On the Eurostar ski train, the bar is full of drunk skiers 😂 If I take the train for skiing in France from Britain, I think I’ll change at Paris rather than get a direct Eurostar. I’d love to try Le Train Bleu at the Gare de Lyon!
Greetings from germany, I really like your channel. That's awesome how this small village station turns into an international railhub in winter. BTW you should try the Frecciarossa 1000 Executive Class one day. I've been with almost every highspeed train in europe and believe me, that's the best by far.

I mean I'd assume there still are local trains which go both ways and which the TGV's have to have their time tables fitted around. Plus I'd assume there still would be some outgoing departures in the morning as well.
Wow, I so love your train reports especially the ones in France with SNCF trains. I plan to visit Nice again next and hope to make a trip from there to Paris!!!

Excellent question :) It's simple. When I recorded this video that was the beginning of school holidays. So not many people come back from Alps to their home. But I've talked with the crew and they did the Lille to Bourg Saint Maurice journey and the train was full as f***. The other reason is, their is a previous train to Lille 50 min prior my train so many people want to take the first one to come back earlier :)
Simply Railway Oh, that's great then! It's just that the sight of empty trains haunts me! I am somehow paranoid about this as America lost most of it's passenger network because nobody, apparently, wanted to ride the rails! By the way, I am an Indian, residing in India.

Can someone please explain this to me: are there different companies with the same train? Is sncf the manufacturer or a rail operator? Where does thalys and tgv operate? When the companies have the same train do they operate in different parts? This high speed rail is do freaking confusing...bc thalys goes to amsterdam, nederlandse spoorwegen etc. Are they different train companies linked together to do different services? I need all those questions answered lmao 😂😂 Or is it like the airline industry in Europe how different airlines have same planes? Is it like that?? And then they have many destinations??? Yeesh.
Irritated Camel / Roblox Stuff It’s true that different train operators can use the same types of train. High speed rail operators in France, Spain and South Korea use Alstom’s TGV locomotive. Other high speed rail operators in Germany, Russia, Turkey and China use the Siemens Velaro. Eurostar uses both the TGV and the velaro SNCF is a rail operator TGV operates mostly in France but runs some trains to Belgium Thalys operates in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany Different countries have different power outputs and the locomotives have to be configured for the power specifications. For example, Eurostar can only use the Siemens velaro and not the Alstom TGV in Holland. A different type of TGV is needed which Thalys use for trains in Holland Thalys and SNCF are different companies. However SNCF do own a lot of shares in Thalys and Eurostar. Deutsche Bahn also owns a few shares in Thalys
So... In France SNCF is the National train operator. They run different services as follows: TGV/TGV INOUI: High speed rail transport OUIGO: Low cost high speed intercity INTERCITÉS: Classic non high speed IC TER: Regional/city 2 city Thalys, Eurostar and Thellō amongst others are private operators which operate trains under the same name to 🇳🇱/🇩🇪/🇧🇪, 🇬🇧 and 🇮🇹 respectively.
Hey, so I'm planning to take tgv from roissy en france to lille. The problem is, I'm gonna bring 2 large suitcases with me, since I'll stay in lille for more than a year as a student. Any tips about how to store it in luggage area at tgv? Since from your video it seems the space to store luggage in tgv is small
Hum, there is not a lot of tips for luggage, it depends on the type of rolling stock if it's a double deck (Duplex) check in the middle of the carriage, between two seats there is often some space :) If it's a single deck (Réseau), you can store big luggage above you seat :)

This is not a sticker. The tgvs were never really pretty anyway. Iconic but not pretty. The ICE were very good design. Simple, white, black windows. But they have a stupid network so the trains can’t go fast all the time
Wtf ? no way dude, TGV are sick, take a look at the original TGV Reseau or TGV POS or even the Duplex, they look awesome. I agree that ICE are nice looking. but come on. I'll start a poll lol
Way to short report for this long journey, no idea where this train stopped, i've seen more toilet footage then outside footage. shame.. this could have been a better report.

4:47 Is it a challenge? In the morning all TGV's depart in the same direction. In the afternoon/evening all TGV's arrive in the same direction.

A little over 7 hours of I remember correctly

Un petit conseil... Au présent en anglais les verbes finissent toujours par un s avec he/she/it, Tu l'oublies quasi-systématiquement ;)
Nom original : OUI / OUIGO ( TGV ) / OUIBUS ( autocars )
23.11.2022.Very good and best.
I don't understand, isn't inoui a low-cost train carrier by SNCF?
No, the low-cost train carrier is Ouigo (the blue and pink TGVs), inOui is supposed to replace the classical TGV services by 2020
INOUI is the re baptism of TGV. It's exactly the same as TGV (thé only difference is INOUI all have wifi, not the case of TGV)
reminds me of the Amtrak California zephyr x3
Why ? For the landscape, it's one of my dream to try this train... and the empire Builder
The snow reminds me
How long does it take to do the full route to Lille on the winter route?
I think it's 5-6 hours. I'm not 100% sure though
