You know when I was watching it through and checking it had uploaded correctly I remembered I had forgot to mentioned that... You get one large suitcase and one 'cabin bag' sized piece of luggage for free. And with 'Plus' you get an additional large suitcase for free or it's €5 extra with 'Standard'. And it's €10 extra to bring a 'small pet'
That is just a perfect service - a benchmark for high speed rail. And having a two-class low-cost train makes so much more sense. Was especially impressed by the multi-lingual conductor - his English is even better than mine!
The way things are going with high speed trains I personally think that they will be more popular than low cost airlines, yes the plane is quicker but by the time and money you spend getting to the airport plus hanging around for a couple of hours it’ll turn out to be roughly the same time, I’d certainly prefer the train and I love flying but the hanging around airports just rattles my bones now, great post really enjoyed it
Meanwhile China's Guangzhou S & Japan's Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto stations are like ~17km away from downtown. So Apple Daily did a comparison & claimed that travelling from HK-Guangzhou wasn't much faster by HSR than by conventional rail (whose trains go to the more centrally located Guangzhou station instead)
And the show doesn't stop right now! I think in some days, the Renfe Avlo (Renfe's low cost high speed trains) will be launched. The Ouibar is closed due to the pandemic, That's a pity! And Renfe Avlo doesn't have cafeteria, it has automatic vending machines instead 21:56 Video's final score: 9.4
Madrid-Barcelona HSL is currently limited to 300 km/h, not 310 km/h due to ERTMS Level 1. Level 2 which allowed those 310 km/h in the past was deactivated due to its testing purposes before Madrid-Valencia/Alicante HSL opening. It's expected to be funtional again somwhere in the future but it's not know if the 310 km/h speed limit will be again applied. Nice video indeed!
That's a really good price for a ticket. Hopefully one day soon we will be able to travel all across Europe by train cheaper than it would be by plane. It has been a long time coming.
Flights and busses from Madrid to Barcelona and Girona could already be obsolete. The train so far has just been prohibitively expensive so trains were not used much.
@@NonstopEurotrip I don't know exactly. Though as you say, maybe this station was built there, in the middle of the forest, for that reason, I guess ... hehe
As far as I know, it was built there to provide equal (but shitty) access to the two main cities of the Camp metropolitan area: Tarragona and Reus. Both are similar in size and the only way to give equal treatment to both (they are politically and culturally considered old rivals) was by building it somewhere in the middle. It's a stupid decision nonetheless
Awesome video and very useful for my upcoming Spain trip. Looks like if i plan well should be able to cover all parts of spain using train. Your work is Great!!!
Firstly, it is grand that Ouigo is in Spain and they have hit the mark here. 👏🏻🚄 I have been following the low-cost operator since the inauguration back in 2013 between Marne-la-Vallée and Marseille and Montpellier, and since then it has gone from strength to strength. Learning the tricks from the low-cost carriers to play at their game to provide low-cost rail travel to a new audience. SNCF said that around half wouldn’t have even considered travelling if Ouigo wasn’t there. 👍🏻 It is a delight that they have expanded to Spain, and it is clear that people love it. Although many from looking at Ouigo's Facebook page many wanted to go as far as an international service from Paris to Madrid. I would be interested to see whether SNCF would through its agreement with NTV (Italo), whether it would set up an Italian subsidiary in the future, or create any further services in other countries like Belgium or Germany.
@@willy4170 As I have said it would be fascinating what would happen in Italy, with an "Ouigo Italia". Although the only snag is that Trenitalia (the train company) and Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (the infrastructure company) are very close. So trying to build a relationship might by tricky, although Trenitalia has recently gained access to the Paris-Milan lane as a competitor to SNCF. However, all things are possible!
@Sleeper Train Fan, Thibault from @SimplyRailway said in his newsletter today that SNCF has recently purchased some TGV M sets from Alstrom and they are saying them are outside France. So we could see an Ouigo Italia so.
Great report as always Max! 👍🏻. I liked the color scheme. I’d do exactly as you did … Sky cabin Plus and a single airline style seat for me. One day the pandemic will end and cafe bars/restaurant cars will return 😋
Super helpful video! Thanks. I've been to Spain four times in recent years but have yet to travel by rail (I'm not counting the funicular up Montserrat!). Yes, I subscribed! Keep up the good, informative work.
The best train in the world is here !!!! Yesiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! I love it ! This is my FAVORITE train. It's breathtaking. It's to stop breathing. It is to see beautiful things everywhere. It is to be HAPPY EVERYWHERE WHEN TRAVELING ON THE TRAIN. The train ! My train ! Heaven ! Thank you very much to you. Very very very very emotional video, very well edited, very well explained, very well done. I'm amazed, right now you are making breathtaking videos for us, to stop breathing. The 3 best train trip report chains are, in alphabetical order, Dylan, nonstop eurotrip and Pete. I am happy to watch videos. It is happiness. That's wonderful. It is happiness. It is paradise. This is the grandiose. Thanks to you, nonstop eurotrip!
I am happy as soon as I get on the train. Ah, I forgot, the prices in France are not expensive in TGV bars, we are used to that. And it is normal for such prices when you travel at 300 km / h. Don't forget that you are on the best train in the world. And I did not read everything you wrote below during the course of your trip report video, I devoted myself almost entirely to my train. The comments you write for this train speak for themselves. Everything is perfect. You are adorable. Thanks again !!! That's wonderful. It is breathtaking. I have already watched the video without your comments several times.
if only we had this kind of service in Germany-_-. Our lines are old and only modernised to roughly 250 km/h. Frankfurt to Berlin is around the same distance and yet a ticket will set you back 80 to 120€ and even the fastest connection will take you around at least 4 hours (without any delays which are common).
@@NonstopEurotrip I hope so too, a bit of fresh wind would be nice. I rode a TGV Duplex in the past to Disneyland and I have to say it beats the ICE3 overall in ride quality, noise level and seating comfort. Unfortunately in the past Deutsche Bahn was very reluctant to allow competing train providers on their network, even setting artificial road blocks.
Great video! This OUIGO duplex set looks very nice and I was surprised that the 1st class was empty :-) Otherwise, I see that Spain has been your 2nd home lately :-)
Have you been to the Monserrat mountains? I'd love to see a video of the rack railway and funiculars! Maybe if we are ever allowed to travel again.... Also, am I right in thinking that the tropical garden at Madrid is where the old train shed used to be?
I apologise for the TERRIBLE quality, they were two of my early videos: th-cam.com/video/myoQNf02wVc/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/HUpyl72mnxE/w-d-xo.html
I wouldn't say that the quality's terrible; the worst thing about your earlier videos is the background music. It's much better with the natural sounds of the journey. Keep up the good work.
4:15 Firstly, I love the colour scheme of the French Ouigo train, because azure blue is a very beautiful color, perfectly fitting to the Mediterranean Sea the train also serves, and to the other colour, pink. Secondly, the Spanish white version of course looks classy, but it also profits from the azure blue and pink colours of the French version, namely at its circular markings at the locomotives and passenger entrance doors. Without these vivid colours, it would look quite boring.
Looking forward to when they extend the service on to Figueres Vilafant which is luckily only 45 mins drive across the frontier from my home near Perpignan and has a massive car park. This is my usual route for visits to Barcelona for football etc. as the fare by SNCF TGV and Renfe AVE from Perpignan itself can be up to 50% more expensive. From Figueres it's cheaper than driving and less stressful with no parking issues when you get there! Still a distant dream though until, hopefully the Schengen borders open up again after 30th June, cross-border train services resume (again hopefully) and the remaining border restrictions are removed.
I've been to 5 matches at the Camp Nou and loves every one! Ah yes and maybe extend the route onto Paris, although tbh I have seen Barcelona-Paris TGVs tickets for €35 lately 😂
7:19 Sounds about the same price as Japan's _Shinkansen_ actually (unless you don't reserve a seat, for which the cost can drop significantly I think, though more express versions of their services allocate fewer cars for non-reserved seats), which also doesn't have early-bird pricing
Thanks to your videos comparing all the option between Madrid and Barcelona, I’ve decided on booking Ouigo primarily because I have a thing for the TGV interiors with the little lamps.
Have you or can you do a generic video of best practices on buying rail tickets in Europe, including when to buy, how late you can purchase, and how to purchase, much appreciated and great videos!
Estimados amigos de ouigo ...os hacemos un llamamiento desde Extremadura en España ayúdenos a salir del atraso ....pongan servicios en la relación a Madrid desde Badajoz ....help Extremadura!!!
GREAT!👍 You know when the AVLO "service" starts on this route? End of July I would like to make a try on this route in other direction! Where I can buy the cheap OUIGO tickets?
Avlo starts on 23/6/21 with tickets also 'from €9'. You can buy Ouigo España tickets through the normal Ouigo France website or app, which now does both 👍🏻
These are fantastic-looking trains. I REALLY wish we had trains like these here in the US but, so far, there just is not much financial interest in building them. Perhaps with the Biden administration, that will finally change. We could take so much pressure off of our highways and airports if we added comprehensive HSR to our travel options. The environmental impact would be so positive as well. Sigh... At least some parts of the world are smart enough to realize the benefits and make the investment.
I'm sceptical because no US government ever showed interest in HSR, for decades. The Japanese started in the 1960s, the French in the 1980s, the Spanish and Germans in the 1990s. China invests in both HSR and magnetic systems. The US would have to do lots of stuff to catch up.
@@goldfing5995 This is true. It would take a massive step-change from the US government. But if anyone will invest, it's Biden. If he doesn't, then there's probably no hope for US HSR...
Meanwhile it is possible that Singapore's government might have less incentive to improve connectivity to KL (e.g. by the aborted HSR) for fear of encouraging more Singaporeans to travel to KL to spend there (instead of locally), creating an outflow of money from the local economy
Any chance you could measure and show the max and average speeds on every day train trip (not really relevant on sleeper trains)? I don't think anyone else on TH-cam does that. Decibel measuring would be good too.
It varies depending on the train loadings but there are still €9 tickets available for next week for some trains and on the day they are around €28. First Class is always €9 more, it doesn't matter when you buy.
They will also run on the Madrid-Valencia/Alicante line and Madrid- Sevilla/Málaga. We are going to see a lot of Frecciarossa 1000's in 2022! Super Excited 🤗
It's the brand from SNCf for low-cost high-speed trains. They are much less comfortable than traditional TGVs (now branded InOui) here. In Spain they get both high comfort and low cost.
Thank you! Apparently the Spanish Ouigo Euroduplexes are restricted/limited to 300kmh, and anyway the ETRMS level 2 signalling is currently not working on the 310kmh section, so is also limited to 300kmh with ETRMS level 1.
Very nice central terminal.. those trees relieve tour stress before boarding the train. Spain can you help philippines estblished its own train network hub. And turn our stations to a green park
@@NonstopEurotrip I am checking right now the June 2021, and only 3 days have "low cost" price of 25€ one way. Even the Oigo manager told that average price Will be half of AVE that is 170€ round tríp. And is good news that the new Oiugo/AVLO/ are half the price....but is not realistic to expect 9€ as a standard, as IS not Ryanair price 5€ the standard..simply marketing for non regular Users.
@@NonstopEurotrip Can you make a video more lengthy 🥺. Because it is very short videos and that's why we cannot see the scenery or window view of your journey.
Je suis jaloux des espagnols car il ont un OUIGO super avec des bon sièges si on le compare avec le OUIGO français il est inconfortable et les rames n’ont pas bar
I just rode this train. It was a miserable experience! No toilet paper, soap or hand towels in bathroom. The seats that face across each other sharing a table have almost not leg room to stretch out. Be careful!
@@NonstopEurotrip Don't be. I did enjoy the video...but i had to pause it many times to read everything so i won't any detail. Thanks for your work ! 😊
I must say tho, the whole InOui and OuiGo pun is a bit corny for what is basically a technological marvel of modern transport. To France - Please stop with the Frenglish puns. Sincerely a bilingual French.
@@NonstopEurotrip ofcourse is this livery better than the french😅. I understand that they took this livery. They need to stand out in the market to the passengers. One way to do that are the prices and an other is a recognizable livery. I hope they succeed. Normaly is competition good for the passengers
Funny you should say that, but my AVE 103 back to Madrid was only €27, albeit in Turista Class. Ouigo have certainly made Renfe bring the prices down. And when their low cost service starts (also from €9)... Who knows 🤷🏻♂️
Tha announcements are made in Spanish, Catalan and English... but not in French?! French is the international language that's closest to Spanish and Catalan, plus this is an SNCF service. Have the French really given up on their nation and identity?...
I guess they have to draw a line with how many languages they use and English is more widespoken, especially as more English and America tourists go to Spain then elsewhere...
do you have to pay extra to bring aboard a piece of luggage (like you do at low-cost airlines)?
You know when I was watching it through and checking it had uploaded correctly I remembered I had forgot to mentioned that... You get one large suitcase and one 'cabin bag' sized piece of luggage for free. And with 'Plus' you get an additional large suitcase for free or it's €5 extra with 'Standard'.

@@NonstopEurotrip great video!.. what is the best site to purchase tickets in advance
@@MC55311 you can book directly with Ouigo and then select your exact seat
That is just a perfect service - a benchmark for high speed rail. And having a two-class low-cost train makes so much more sense. Was especially impressed by the multi-lingual conductor - his English is even better than mine!
I agree in all points! He was a very nice guy too. We chatted about my channel so he'll probably watch this 😃👍🏻

I prefer Sevilla Santa Justa ☺️
@nonstop Eurotrip : How far in advance do you have to buy the reduced price tickets and what are the day ticket prices (2nd class , 1st class) ?
It varies depending on the train loadings but there are still €9 tickets available for next week for some trains and on the day they are around €28. First Class is always €9 more, it doesn't matter when you buy.
Amazing video. The livery is much nicer than French one. I wonder how renfe will cope because trenitalia will also run services here too
The whole route will be low cost competitors soon 😂
They will also run on the Madrid-Valencia/Alicante line and Madrid- Sevilla/Málaga. We are going to see a lot of Frecciarossa 1000's in 2022! Super Excited 🤗
@@alfrredd my favourite train 🙊🙈
@@NonstopEurotrip One of my favorites too! I can’t wait 😊
I hope new competitors will come to Italy too, time to take cars away from our Autostrade and lower prices even more
17:45Did you pay 3 euros to use the WiFi?
I absolutely didn't 🙃
@@NonstopEurotrip Well so how did you use the WiFi???
@@mariadelmarjimenezarroyo because it was free.
OUIGO is the french rail company innit?
Yes 🤗
It's the brand from SNCf for low-cost high-speed trains. They are much less comfortable than traditional TGVs (now branded InOui) here.
In Spain they get both high comfort and low cost.
Why are there security checks? In Germany we don't have them, and nothing bad ever happened which could have been prevented by a check 🤷♂️
Because of the train bombings in early 2004
Tank you France for Spain 😉
You're welcome 🙂
Epic.
Thanks so much 😁
After 2 weeks without a toilet check you must have been bursting for a pee! 🤣🤣🤣
So I crammed 2 in this week, just for you Mark 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip Spanish Ouigo looks much nicer than the French version.
Look same French version has on food and drink
@@cteasdale1979 There's no 1st class in French Ouigo though, no café either. French Ouigo also has 3x2 seating on lower deck, no?
What he said ^^ 😊
thats the way to go!.lower prices and no thrills travel.
Absolutely!
C'est plus rapide que l'avion avec ses contrôles et on arrive au centre de la ville.
👍🏻😁
Can you make a video of "How to get from Milano Centrale to Milano Cadrona" using the Milano's underground?
I'm steering away from metro reviews, sorry 😂
The real speed on Madrid-Barcelona is 310 km/h, not 300 km/h. However, beautiful video!
Thank you! Apparently the Spanish Ouigo Euroduplexes are restricted/limited to 300kmh, and anyway the ETRMS level 2 signalling is currently not working on the 310kmh section, so is also limited to 300kmh with ETRMS level 1.
Very nice central terminal.. those trees relieve tour stress before boarding the train. Spain can you help philippines estblished its own train network hub. And turn our stations to a green park
It's a lovely station isn't it? 😁👌🏻
That's where the tracks and steam locomotives were placed in the XIX century! The current High Speed infrastructure was built in 1990
@@BlackHoleSpain The tropical garden is very lovely 🥰
Fantastic tgv duplex french wow.love from mumbai.india.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Just tried to book Ouigo a couple of days ago, but their website was broken :( No way to contact them either, it seems.
Try tweeting them, they seem very active on twitter!
Do I need to print the ticket?
Nope! E-ticket on your phone 📱
Is it ok to take the unseated seat
You're not meant to.
Лучше сейчас по возможности никуда не
ездить.Вирус реально существует.У некоторых при заболевании поражает лёгкие.Берегите себя!
The average price Will be 85€ round tríp...but if course you can find that price if you adapt in day /hour
You can get round trips for €18 if you book far enough in advance 👍🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip I am checking right now the June 2021, and only 3 days have "low cost" price of 25€ one way. Even the Oigo manager told that average price Will be half of AVE that is 170€ round tríp. And is good news that the new Oiugo/AVLO/ are half the price....but is not realistic to expect 9€ as a standard, as IS not Ryanair price 5€ the standard..simply marketing for non regular Users.
@Don Blas De Lezo there are lots of €19 fares both ways, so you could get a round trip for €38 for example out on the 8th June and return on the 9th.
Awesome :)
Thank you James 😁
At 9:00 I does not believe how the coach was empty
They knew I was coming 😁
@@NonstopEurotrip Can you make a video more lengthy 🥺.
Because it is very short videos and that's why we cannot see the scenery or window view of your journey.
Ouigo offers competition and lower fares. The US rail system doesn't have competition. A few airlines offer competition and lower fares.😀😀
This is the way forward for European highspeed rail, imo 😎
@@NonstopEurotrip Absolutely. Competition is good
Long Live the TGV Duplex
😀🇫🇷
France. Opening June 6
Je suis jaloux des espagnols car il ont un OUIGO super avec des bon sièges si on le compare avec le OUIGO français il est inconfortable et les rames n’ont pas bar
I love TGV
😍😍😍
mucho lokko trainos.....to barcas...bueno...:)
I SUGGEST UMOVE CAPTIONS ON UPPER SCREEN OR MAKETHEM TELAST MORE INCISIVE ISNOT EASY AT ALL TO READ THEM
Its a shame the train was running empty- may be due to Covid.
It's was only in First Class. The rest of the train was very busy!
Hi to. My european friends
wow
😍
I just rode this train. It was a miserable experience! No toilet paper, soap or hand towels in bathroom. The seats that face across each other sharing a table have almost not leg room to stretch out. Be careful!
Not my experience, but thanks for sharing!
Nice video !!! A loooot to read though :/
Sorry. You could always just enjoy the video 😃👍🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip Don't be. I did enjoy the video...but i had to pause it many times to read everything so i won't any detail. Thanks for your work ! 😊
@@rachidboutazat2350 you're welcome 😀
Spain on amber list
I must say tho, the whole InOui and OuiGo pun is a bit corny for what is basically a technological marvel of modern transport. To France - Please stop with the Frenglish puns. Sincerely a bilingual French.
I totally agree 😂
About the livery. I don't like it. My oppinion is that it is to much i your face. Just like ryanair ads for example
It's better than the French one tho, eh? Lol 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip ofcourse is this livery better than the french😅. I understand that they took this livery. They need to stand out in the market to the passengers. One way to do that are the prices and an other is a recognizable livery. I hope they succeed. Normaly is competition good for the passengers
I hope so too 😁
That English, OMG....
🤔
Better or worse than your spanish?
The Spanish thank the SNCF
French to put at the disposal of the Spaniards of the beautiful trains at prices that renfe will never be able to reach
Funny you should say that, but my AVE 103 back to Madrid was only €27, albeit in Turista Class. Ouigo have certainly made Renfe bring the prices down. And when their low cost service starts (also from €9)... Who knows 🤷🏻♂️
Tha announcements are made in Spanish, Catalan and English... but not in French?! French is the international language that's closest to Spanish and Catalan, plus this is an SNCF service. Have the French really given up on their nation and identity?...
I guess they have to draw a line with how many languages they use and English is more widespoken, especially as more English and America tourists go to Spain then elsewhere...
