Hi folks, I finally made the switch to universal subtitles, so you can now enjoy my videos in the language of your choice. This is a test for now, and it's still unclear if I will keep this style, but if more people can enjoy my videos without needing to learn English, that would be a plus! Enjoy! :-) Thibault
I feel like this is a great idea! Though the lack of hard captions may make it easier for people to steal clips, so you could put a transparent watermark somewhere at all times. Also, some of the captions are a bit long, which makes the text small on mobile and hard to read.
Good idea! For those of you that don't know: you can adjust the subtitle style (size, text/background color and opacity, etc.) in the settings under the section "Subtitles" -> "Options" (top right corner). :)
I notice in the dutch subtitle that when you see the attendant by the seat car that it says stoelauto instead of Zitrijtuig and motor instead of Loc and Bifrequentiemotoren instead of bifrequentlocomotives😅 sorry
@@LS-Moto yeah, but you'd still want to be able to move about, if only to go to the toilet. Maybe the Nightjet, but I would doubt that the EN Dacia and Bosfor have a handicapped compartment or accessible toilet. It would make travelling by train perhaps not entirely impossible, but definitely a lot more challenging.
@@LS-Moto Buses: yes. Planes: flights rarely take as long, so you might be able to hold it in for an hour or 2, and they will assist you to get on and off in most cases. Not ideal, but still. Which is why it would be a good thing if they made trains more accessible in SE Europe. In Czechia for instance, almost all trains are equipped with lifts, there's a separate compartment for people in wheelchairs, right next to the accessible toilet. If there's catering, they'll bring it to the compartment. Trains can really gain an advantage, here.
Excellent video. I was in France in 1976. I was young and adventurous and wanted to take this journey. Travelling to Eastern European countries was not easy during those days. Now at 77 years of frail age, I traveled with you on this cherished route and fulfilled my dream. Thnx
Impressive. Unless you get the use of a shower, having a proper wash using the tiny washbasins is no laughing matter at our age. You end up with soapy water all over the floor & it takes three times as long
Sehr beeindruckend… 👍 Letztes Jahr bin ich von Narvik nach Istanbul mit dem Zug gefahren. Narvik-Stockholm-Berlin-Budapest-Bukarest-Istanbul. Ich war 5 Tage unterwegs.
I am pleased to see that trains are finally going to Istanbul city (even if it is not the centre) and not to a village miles away. Now we can truly say that there are trains from Paris to Istanbul!!
I did this trip this month starting in Vienna! It is a long journey but I am glad I did it! Also from a female perspective, I had a 6 person compartment for Vienna-Bucharest and a 4 person compartment from Bucharest to Istanbul. Mainly because nothing else was available when I booked. Both times I was travelling with all males. Both times I had no problems at all, all of them were nice guys and we had good conversations throughout. I travel with nighttrains in Europe a lot and book the female compartments if available. But I would still make this trip like this again, I felt safe. 😊 Of course, you never know who you are going to meet, but on this occasion and from what I saw in the rest of the train I felt very welcome and safe.
So you enjoyed travelling as in a school camp room. Thats hardly travel. In fact it’s something I’d expect in a 3rd world country. 6 bed room? 4 bed room? With strangers.
@@xr6lad To me, meeting different people of different backgrounds and countries and having conversations is a big part of what I consider travelling and seeing the world. So I don't mind sharing a cabin! But thankfully there are many transportation options nowadays, so people can choose what they like.
The subtitles display lasts adequately which is not the case normally to our Annoyance . Here it is totally different . Many thanks from India . The video was very nice . 12.9.24
Haha, that random yoga dude in the hall was unexpected. I love how he gave you this slight entitled look like "Can't you see I'm trying to reach Nirvana ovah here on the floor of a Nightjet?" 🤣
Very interesting journey using all night trains!! Paris and Istanbul were Orient Express start/end points; not sure of cities along the route. When I was in the travel industry one of my dreams was to ride the Orient Express. Thanks Thibault for sharing your experience.🥰👌👍
Excellent video Thibault. And good long format because you had a lot to show. Good also that you are resisting the algorithm's command to speak during videos. I watched with the captions on and off, both fine. Thanks.
Vidéo incroyable et grâce à la traduction je peux enfin vraiment tout comprendre (mon anglais est très très scolaire 😂), un grand bravo SimplyRailway . Je conduis des trains tous les jours mais tes vidéos me donne envie de voyager en touriste par ce transport et dans toute l’Europe !
Tu étais le seul à te rendre à la destination finale ? Incroyable. C'était vraiment un beau parcours, entre la Gaule, la Germanie, puis la Dacie, pour ensuite passer en Thrace et finir à Constantinople 😏 Si seulement les Romains avaient eu des chemins de fer !
@@cingistimucin5704 Faux. Le nom de la ville a été changé en 1930, il y a moins de 100 ans, ce qui est peu en comparaison de la longue histoire de la ville...
fun fact: from 21:57 till 22:36 you were on the weakest railway in Romania, at Balota hill; also at 21:13 you were showing Orșova on the other side of the river, which is not in Serbia :D
Unfortunately, there aren't many dining cars on night trains anymore. Most trips are short enough that you can forgo them, you can board after dinner and arrive in time for breakfast in the station, but still, especially for those longer trips, at least having a little shop where you could get some supplies would be more than welcome, I agree.
Ha enfin du français dans tes vidéos, bon que le sous titre ! mais c'est déjà cela ! Continu comme ça ! Peut être un de description en langue française serait un plus. Surtout que tu es français. Merci pour tes vidéos.
@@SimplyRailway Thank you. There comes a point in llife when the effort is just too much. I passed that point many years ago. Your videos are very entertaining.
At 8:24 it's not Danube River but River Inn. The rail track from Passau to Austria goes along the river Inn south before it turns East again towards Vienna.
Looks like a physically testing journey…yet one I would love to take. Especially the eastern part through Bulgaria. The squat toilet on TCDD sleeper is super clean!
Thanks for another exciting trip. Despite the relative comfort the last leg looked hard work. I still can't believe your publishers can't or won't produce an English version of your book, they're missing out on the UK/US/Can market where I'm sure you've got plenty of subscribers only too ready to purchase a copy.
Not only in English speaking countries, but also elsewhere, English is the main language of the world. As a Czech I'd gladly buy it if it was an option.
It's not the same price as the VSOE Venice, Simplon, Orient Express: PARIS ISTANBUL Duration: 6 days 5 nights Venice Simplon Orient Express Price: from €20,200 Historic Cabin from €20,200 Suite from €43,900 Grand Suite from €67,000 to €71,400 Plus with a Pacific 241 P, it would be a must. Normally in 2023 Siemens will confirm the Vectron Multi system locomotives, but apparently a TRAXX 185 AC2 is still present, which implies a change of Locomotive until Vienna
That's very specifically the VSOE train, the Venice Simplon Orient Express, which is a subsidiary of Belmond, I believe. But until 2009(!), the night train that ran between Vienna and Strasbourg (and before that Paris) was called the Orient Express...
Hi there! I really enjoy your description of the trip. I’m planning one like this. But where I can find all informations, not been a expertise like you? I will be doing the trip stopping in numerous cities. Greetings from Florianópolis (Brasil)!
I did this in 2012. Outgoing journey day 1 Kiel-Hamburg-Praha-Bratislava. Day 2 Bratislava-Budapest-Beograd (I think this day train doesnt exist anymore). Day 3 and 4 Beograd-Sofia nightrain. Day 5 and 6 Sofia-Istanbul nighttrain, but we had to use the bus from Pendik due construction work. Return journey: day 1 and 2 bus to Pendik, nightrain Pendik-Bucuresti Gara Nord. Day 3 daytrain Bucuresti Nord-Budapest. Day 4 daytrain Budapest-Home, to North Germany. Its been a magnificant experience.
14:18 just to ask: has anyone ever told you, that one floor below where you filmed, there is the best meat loaf available. leberkas pepi. you could add gastronomy reviews for railway stations. and leberkas pepi is wonderfully tasty ;-) my favorite: käseroni. chili, cheese, and it's made with horse meat.
Looking forward to seeing this thibault, quick question, can you adapt to your fellow passengers when sharing a couchette or would someone snoring bother you, I’m a poor sleeper and any noise like snoring would make me feel edgy, ps liked the livery of the engine on the first leg from Paris, great post 😊 still prefer you talking though the subtitles are ok, outstanding thibault watched right to the end thanks for taking us with you
A touch of the Orient Express, without the luxury, but still quite an experience. By coincidence, I'm currently building the Lego Orient Express, but apart from its route from Paris to Istanbul, there's little resemblance. Still, a nice model.
No voice over and simply subtitles? Takes a bit of getting used to. As you say, useful to those that don't understand English. Can you recommend a simple CC App for beginners that I could use. I look forward to your future journeys.
Re. "Don't tell the US" at 23:34 . Too late, they're already there. 🙃 BTW, i like your new style with subtitles. But next time, please show the food before you eat. It's a nice part of a good train journey.
Thanks! I have the food footage, but on another device and I've completely forgot to show the food... You can watch it on the Vienna to Bucharest video :-)
Let me ask you this: was it you that transformed the cabin to Bucharest into day use? I know I always do it myself, because the cabin attendants were reluctant to this everytime. My recomendation when travelling from Vienna or Budapest to Bucharest is to take the 4-person couchettes. It's very spacious, has two windows that can be opened and it's rarely fully booked. Most likely you'll be by yourself or another person.
Absolutely wonderful trip. Since you can't go to Russia anymore it might be one of the longest in Europe by now. Maybe you can extend it to Portugal - Iran-something

Let me write in Spanish. Un viaje épico e incómodo pero muy aventurero e interesante. Hay una gran diferencia entre los trenes de Francia y Alemania y de los de Bulgaria y Rumanía con su característico sonido trac-trac de la separación entre railes. Thanks.
Original route from Paris to Istanbul, in 1977( the last "direct orient train with UIC coaches and sleeping car ), transited by Switzerland Italy, Jugoslavia( replaced by Slovenja, Croatia, Sirbja, Makedonja), Belgarja, and Turkye, the train lived Paris gare de Lyon at 23 hours, and went to Lausanne, and Valais/Wallis, Simplon, and Lombardia TCCD Railways have news TAURUS lok from SIEMENS in 25 KV AC 50 Hz, however, the are little non-electrificated line during this route.
What's with the train attendant waiving that yellow handkerchief around when arriving at the station? Is that a safety thing from the past? Really cool to see, just curious!
hello how much was your expenses on tikets and visas if any and also i am in france now and i would like to know if you have idea if i can travel from paris to hongkong or thailand or vietnam by train ? thank you in advance
Great videos, but please give us some details about the locomotives too. By the way, I was surprised that the last train did not have toilet seats, only a hole on the floor. WTF!
There's a more common toilet at the other side of the carriage, but these squatting toilets are still very common in Turkey and further East, and you can even find them in some Western countries, although they are an endangered species. But when I was last in Genova Piazza Principe station, a few years ago, they still had these squatting toilets. Apparently, it's healthier, but...

Looks good, but I didn't realize it until about half way through the video. Perhaps a note at the beginning until people get used to it.
A vocal narrration is so much more entertaining in English ( or French)...the Visuals are superb, as always...dgp/uk
Being a wheelchair user, i will never be able to take this trip so being able to see it through your eyes is wonderful! Thank you for sharing it.
To my knowledge, they have wheelchair ramps to get onto these trains

2022 was the last year CFR ran their dining cars. Now they're pulled to the side
Even tho I enjoy trains the price for Paris-Vienna is steep, you can find airplane tickets for way cheaper and get to the destination way faster
Romanian train looks like it is barely crawling. Was there a speed restriction or is this normal track speed?
There are construction works along the entire length
Isn't there only the same train and compartment from Paris to Istanbul? If not does the quality differ every country?
