High speed rail in Europe generally does not have at-grade crossing like Brightline does. That is why Europe can have high speeds on their network, and that is why the Northeast Corridor regularly does 125 mph and above. It should also be noted that Brightline sections north of West Palm Beach to Orlando will have sections where the train will do 125 mph.
@@gojeda Agreed. Also, high speed rail uses dedicated track not shared with freight traffic, and the locomotives draw electric power from catenaries, not diesel power.
@@luislaplume8261 It's not that bad. We do have high speed 1 from London to the channel tunnel, that rides at 186 mph but can go to 200 mph if needed. High speed 2 is currently being built to Birmingham and Manchester and that will be 225 mph. The existing East coast, West coast and Great Western to Bristol routes are 125 mph. There are plans to increase these speeds to 140 mph.There has been a lack of investment since 1945 but we are now slowly catching up.
By the way, in the US, by Federal Rail Administration regulations, you are never going to see speeds beyond 79 MPH on rail segments that have at-grade crossings in urban and suburban areas. I do commend Brightline for trying, and I pray they succeed. Their pricing, however, needs to come down by a good 30 to 40%
@Chris67 It depends on the population density and the distances between crossings. A lot of the areas this train travels through are built up so it would be dangerous to run at high speeds.
@@aramondehasashi3324 Problem is that you need to drive at both ends of the destinations as most places are not accessible by public transportation. Keep in mind the original tracks/stations were built 130 years ago and do not represent the population centers of today.
@@janefelix3821 If you're in West Palm or Miami, you do not need to have your own car to get around. Especially if your destination is the beach in Miami I've driven to both and have taken the Brightline since. The latter is far better.
When the Coco tunnel is tracked in lest than 6 months this will be an outstanding addition to Florida's infrastructure. Hopefully this will spark a rise in public transport at each station as the drive to and from Miami is a nightmare.
I had my first trip last night from Miami-West Palm Beach-Miami. The train is beautiful, and clean, with modern bathrooms, lobby, and public spaces. I bought the SMART ticket and I felt the service was fine. The only issue I had was that I bought a round-trip ticket with parking included. When you enter the garage you will find a machine where you scan your ticket and the gate opens. Well, the machine did not work and I had to take a ticket. Fortunately, when I was going out I pressed the assistance button and a person opened the gate remotely for me. The Brightline parking garage in Miami is one block away from the main building, and at night there are some homeless people in the area : ( The rest of the experience was great!
This just popped up today. Was in Palm beach back in march and took this to Miami for a suns and heat game. Classy employees and top notch service, Highly recommended!
Did the brightline when i went to west palm beach for downton abbey event. Loved it. Clean , even smelled pleasant in the station and on the train. Good job.
Brightline is definitely a great train travel experience. I hope they add a stop at Cocoa on the treasure coast to support the Port at Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center. That will mean the future 2 cruise port accesses(Miami and Orlando),Orlando Airport, Orlando Convention Center, and the Orlando parks. Wow, more relaxed than driving!
Wow amazing fast tren Miami to my city 🌃 Orlando. I remember st Pancras Buy my ticket I. Aerostar goin underground to London - Paris my best vacations then to Berlin to Prague then frankfurts to Brussels back to London great aventuret Like 👍 travel vacations Anjoy everyone 😀
All that for $37??? With that pricing here in the tri state, thats equal to at least one layover, two late trains, and countless panhandlers asking you for money. Amazing you got free drinks. Shoot me
I'm excited that the train lines are expanding up to Orlando to Tampa, and also up to Jax. I drive up to Jax from Tampa, which is a long drive. It would be nice to catch a train ride.
3 hours to go to Orlando from Mami by Brightline is the same time if I go driving by car, I don't see any advantage of this train. Could somebody explain?
Thanks for this silent video, seriously, I appreciated no yakity yak, stating the obvious. I've been meaning to try Brightline but havent as of yet...I have taken the efficent but rather grim TriRail, hey its SUPER cheap....ya get what ya pay for..am I right? Thanks again.
I enjoyed your video. I am in northern FL and waiting for the Bright line to get finished. I was going to share your video but I wish you had left the alcohol scenes out of it. It is a trigger for some. Thank you though for your content.
@@PeaceToAll-sl1db it’s not a fable for locals like my self who grew up here. In south beach before the tourism the water levels never got as high as they do now. Now a rain storm floods blocks leaving cars under water.
Bullet train like the Shinkansen in Japan? Hope we will have that from Miami via NY city to Montreal, canada in East coast, and in the West coast from San Diego via L A, San Jose, San Francisco, Seattle to Vancouver, Canada
I'm so happy to see that US is investing in railways but...after seeing that different rail companies are running/building different routes, I really hope that you aren't going to end like the UK with 20+ rail companies, prices higher than cross Atlantic flight tickets and unreliable service. It really is a mess
One thing that stands out to me over Amtrack is the handicap access. For those who have to use electric scooters, you can ride it right onto the train.
Trying this soon, west palm to Miami and back with my mom with a night layover a parking pass and a Tesla in Miami. Everything costed 158$ (premium class) and I think that’s reasonable for this
@@nervun8097 They do run on biodesiel as the locomotives are desiel-electric I believe and they would absolutely love to electrify but lets finish the Orlando expansion first lol
@@RedNuii true. The current rolling stock is just fine. But I do think that Electrification is something that Brightline must consider. They could convert their locomotives to use both overhead catenary and their diesel generators, so that they can electrify the line gradually
Very modern looking, liked the station also, but the train travels 57 mph approximately, this is not a comparable train, as the ones in Europe. It's slow like any other ordinary train service.
This true for now, especially due to the many grade crossings. When the line opens to Orlando, it will reach speeds around 125 mph, putting it much closer to a high-speed service, albeit still not comparable with the true high speed lines in Europe and Asia.
@@evanb.529 They are trying to push it to 135, we'll see how that goes. But much more important is the average speed of the train, and in this case Brightlines average from Miami to Orlando is actually quite high which is good. It cuts travel time by about an hour with a much better experience.
The train currently tops out at 79MPH. North of West Palm Beach 110 MPH and 125 MPH north of Cocoa. This is definitely comparable to European trains like the 125 MPH British Rail Class Pendolino 390, 125 MPH Hitachi 800/801, 125 MPH Lumo 803. 125 MPH Swedish Bombardier Regina. Not every train in Europe is going 186+ MPH.
Here’s a fun fact about this train. Since it opened in late 2017 there’s been 55 deaths on this exact same route. Miami to West Palm Beach. That’s right, 55 and counting. Imagine what the count will be when the Orlando connection in complete. Notice how empty the train was in this video and that’s because locals are well aware of the danger this train poses. Also, if you live in Florida you own a car and everyone down here knows depending on the time of day you’ll make the same trip in 20 minutes less time. So the millions of local tax payer dollars was used on a useless slow train that kills and nobody uses anyway. 🤦🏽♂️
Those deaths occurred because people don’t have the good sense to stay off/away from the tracks or because they tried to cross as a train is approaching. It’s Darwinism at work.
I live on the Treasure Coast near Stuart. We fought this travesty as hard as we could. It’s going to run on the old FEC tracks that were put down by Henry Flagler in the 1800’s. Small towns grew up around the tracks when trains were slower and were the only transportation. Now they will fly through our little towns going 80 mph. They will cross more than 300 grade crossings on the Treasure Coast, causing traffic tie-ups and safety risks. They will stop marine traffic around our bridges. They should have built new tracks up the center of the state where the cows wouldn’t care how fast they went. This is a terrible idea. Everyone here dreads the coming of Brightline.
It would have been truly epic if went to Orl or the last stop in Fl Jacksonville.... not holding out hope this will last...ridership? Can’t sustain itself with the non existent riders ..or volumes of riders daily need to keep it profitable or at this stage feasible.
Just took them a few weeks ago between Fort Lauderdale and Miami on my vacation they were great can’t wait for the Orlando extension to open

Brightline's a good start but it's got a long way to go to catch up with high speed rail in Europe and China.
It's better than what's on offer to the UK population. Trains were invented in England - home to one of the world's worst rail services.
