10:43 the crew on the roof of the train was filling up water for the toilet. The water are stored in the water tank on the train roof so the water can flow with gravity to the toilet and the tap.
16:25 That's rigid catenary. The reason why the Yogyakarta station use rigid catenary is because the limited space due to the roof of the platform.
Anyway, congrats for the experience of the train. Well done video as expected.
Aha, very good point. Thanks!
sheldon cooper will approve this video

What is seen is not always provided, even the cleanliness of the country can be said to be good and not so bad😊
Funnily enough, that's exactly the way my neighbor described a drunken threesome he once participated in. I elected not to inquire about any details.
8:49 here the clip

The way you pronounce "Indomaret, Gondangdia,Jatinegara,manggarai" is on point 🌹
Yes it is rare to have a foreigner that actually capable of learning how to pronounce things correctly, rather than just cower behind "I'm sorry I may have butchered the name"..
yeah but he says it so aggresively it would be better off to not try doing it
or better yet he can try to adjust how to say it
in fact it kind of sounds japanese
I understand that his pronunciation is better than the average foreigner, but it's an overstatement to say that it's "on point."

with that price, you can buy an entry level phone. that shows a lot about country's average financial capabilities
a more fitting comparison would be plane ticket prices... this train ticket costs slightly above budget airline prices (Jakarta-Jogja route). Sure, the plane seats are less comfortable, but it's only an hour travel time. Unless you have special medical conditions, there's no real reason to take this train over a plane.
@@ChemySh "budget airline prices (Jakarta-Jogja route)"
Lion Air...helll naw to the naw nawwww
@@Charlizzie there's still Super Air Jet and Citylink :D equally uncomfortable seats, but less delays
The nature of this country is super rich.they don't need to import anything from outside.that's why everything is cheap! Your country is Expensive because you import everything..
@@Charlizzie I would take 6 hours than 1 hour journey with Lion Air delays.
keep in mind average salary in this country are somewhat low, so everyone who taking this train is considered as prestigious & respected.
Thanks! I have filmed it, a video will be coming in the next few months... :)
@@SuperalbsTravelsniceee
Nggk gitu juga bro. Org juga bodo amat situ mau pilih luxury atau ekonomi. Penumpang mikirnya jangan sampe ketinggalan kereta aja. Masalah tiket kelas apa itu udh disesuaikan ke kebutuhan masing2. Jadi bukan yang trs mau buat gaya2an atau dipandang. Karena nggk ada yag peduli situ mau naik luxury kek ekonomi kek. Dan juga banyak yg naik ekonomi atau eksekutif biasa bukan brarti nggk mampu beli yg kelas yang mewah.
@@andrewdipta69 ada benernya juga. tapi kalau ekonomi emang ga senyaman eksekutif, kalau mau santai dikit beli eksekutif atau luxury. yg pastoacnya sama2 dingin banget.
@@user-lh2gn6qh7j Iya intinya tergantung individu masing2 kan brarti mau cari yg gimana. Nah komen utama si orang ini kan norak banget nyangkutpautin ke strata sosial dan gila hormat. Memalukan komennya dia itu. Pdhl kereta itu kan cuma slh satu opsintransportasi umum. Jadi orang naik juga karena butuh bepergian. Kecuali kalo semua kereta itu tipenya luxury semua dengan harga luxury itu, nah itu baru akan dengan sendirinya terjadi strata sosial. Otomatis orang yang naik moda transportasi kereta udah pasti identik dengan kesejahteraan kalo gitu kejadiannya. Lah ini kan enggak ya, jadi aneh aja komen si orang di atas yg sok2an pake bahasa inggris pula ini. Haha
6.8K views in just 15 hours? dont miss the opportunity to have more indonesian railway reviews! you can try more type or service like BIMA's new generation carriage called "the compartment suites". one of the most prestigious service in PT KAI line
So much more to come!
@fooxybooy : ssshhhh... dont say that so blatantly ... we'll keep it silent, wont you? 😏
this channel had big impact to the viewers, and of course many other channel to tried out indonesian railway. this video is straight up perfection
Thank you so much! 🥰
Argo dwipangga's recently using new trainset, launched at end of 2023 and start operating this january. Now the trains carried 3 luxury coach instead of one, and of course more comfortable & improved quality.
That's great to hear! I will have to check it out one day. :)
As a representative from Indonesia, I am grateful because this channel discusses Indonesian trains whose shape might be said to be a bit strange but their usefulness is actually even better Effective
13:17,,, a lil bit of correction here… Indonesian didnt get to choose the narrow gauge of 1067. It was decided by the Dutch East Indies government.😅
Thus the standard stays until today,some newer train line in Sulawesi already use wider gauge.
Actually there are different Dutch companies. Some chose 1435, others chose 1067. It was the Japanese that decided to remove all the 1435 tracks (and transferred it to somewhere else in SE Asia), leaving 1067 tracks for utility
@@rusticcloud3325transfer to thailand and myanmar but mostly to myanmar
this is one of many more great luxury service in KAI, you have to try BIMA's compartment suites, now thats a real flagship service in entire country
I have filmed it, a video will be coming in the next few months... :)
oh btw they launch the new gen of this luxury train and the review has been good so far@@SuperalbsTravels
"BIMA's compartment suites", you mean Indonesia's Nightjet?
@@Charlizzie yes it has similar color like the Nightjet but if you search up Indonesian railway history, the Bima train it self was a sleeper train in 60s and it was not just 1 car its a whole train just like Nightjet with blue color inspired from sleeper train on another country, and the Bima train it self was a reborn version of high end class train the Java Nacht Express in 30s under the Staatsspoorwegen (a Dutch East Indies state own company) management. But the sleeper service was ended in 80s and replaced with ordinary executive class, so now they tried to bring back the OG Bima with this compartment suites and yes they also couple it with day train service the Argo Semeru
so its not just a copycat, it has its own history.
@@Charlizzie why do you call every sleeper train a nightjet?
Trains are named after figures mentioned in the video:
10:12 Ciremai, travels from Semarang Tawang (recently added Bank Jateng for sponsorship reason) via Cirebon - Cikampek route to Bandung (hall) station, in executive and new image economy class.
15:02 Serayu, travels from Purwokerto to (Jakarta) Pasar Senen, but instead via Cirebon, they are travel via Kroya - Bandung - Cikampek line with 106 seats of economy class (we like to called it knee battling seats or kursi adu dengkul). The reason of these seats are because serayu (and several full 106 seats economy class) is subsidized by indonesian government.
These trains are very worthy to travel with it, especially morning Ciremai journey, because you can enjoy sea and mountain sceneries in one trip. Thanks for the honest review about our national railway!
Everything has been said by the other commenters, so I just want to comment on how much I appreciate your attempt at pronouncing all those Indonesian names the right way when you don’t speak the language. You even know how to pronounce the C’s as “ch”; pronounce some of the E’s as schwa; and roll the R’s, not even people from neighboring Malaysia know how to do these. You must have done a great deal of research for this video. 👍 As a bonus, you even pronounce the name “Yogyakarta” the proper way when most of us Indonesians would just say “Jogja” instead 😁
BTW apparently “Dwipangga” means “two mountains” and this refers to the two iconic volcanoes of Merapi and Merbabu in the region.
We can say "Yogyakarta".
"Jogja" is just faster to say.
please do more reviews about indonesian railways! you've should try BIMA's new gen 1 compartment class, it has fantastic features and comfort! from gambir to surabaya gubeng!
I have filmed it, a video will be coming in the next few months... :)
I lived in Java, Indonesia for 8 years and first made the train trip you document in 1971. It was not luxurious then and took longer, arriving in the middle of the night. Certainly better now. Great video. Thanks.
Wow!
you should try BIMA's comparment suites class! you will surprised! great to see our railway at your reviews, we loves it sooo much!
I have filmed it, a video will be coming in the next few months... :)
We have improved alot since 2012, before 2012 it was a hell of the ride
For the food yes it was sad food,if wanna have good meal yo have to chose night ride
But now the meal is better since the carriage of argo dwipangga has been change to newer one on december 2023 following the other 1st class train such as argo lawu,taksaka/borobudur train,and argo bromo
I agree! :)
@@SuperalbsTravels
And one more thing,there was a class or should i say the worker class train before
The train always carried farmer and labour passenger.This class is already dismantled around 2010.
Well this class is so inhuman due too crowded and there is no ticketing system in this classes
Just searched"kereta rangkasbitung jaman dulu" or "kereta lokal langsam"
pleaseee make a review in BIMA's new compartment carriage! you will surprised with the ride quality & luxuriousness!
I have filmed it, a video will be coming in the next few months... :)
10:40 Those worker on top are most likely just refilling the water tank used for the toilets.
Oh wow, worker safety is not much of a priority is it? Where I'm from, water is filled from the ground level, using a pressured water hose (and not at a station stop but at the yard).
@@mattiasthorslund6467The new generation of Argo Dwipangga was released a month ago, can be refilled from the bottom. There's a hose on each end of carriages.
@@mattiasthorslund6467ok first of all, they are safety harness for the staff on top the train refueling the water.
Second, the train always fill at the train yard before departure but because every intercity trainset at least Cary 400 to 500 passengers, the toilet water have to be checked every 2 hrs so the toilet water didn't get empty.
Third, don't make ridiculous statement that the staff didn't get safety priority if you didn't know how actuality irl.
Thanks!
@@mattiasthorslund6467they use harness, and the pathway there is large enough. In the old days passanger without ticket ussually snuck up there. Pouring water from top is more easy than pressure from down, and they only have 12 min to fullfil those tanks. They fill it pararelly 4 to 5 carriage one go. Remember this is a long distances on schedule train.
The stations around Copenhagen central also has a rail instead of a overhead wire , because of the intense traffic
Interesting, thanks for sharing. :)
Interesting concept. I think we can use that concept here in the Netherlands as well.
our railway has more luxurious service throughout the java island, so you can explore more and more! one of the service are BIMA's new compartment suite class, you should try it! its a worth for its price!
they did
@@kibruazkaenk1510 which one tho?
@@Helmyiansyah not yet uploaded
lets wait then@@kibruazkaenk1510
I have filmed it, a video will be coming in the next few months... :)
That's a CC206 looks great in the opening
At minute 10:50
The staff is refilling water supply for the carriage
It's common for them to do that in the Cirebon Station for long journey train
Thank you!
And the staff should do his work so quick as well. The train just stops for 3-5 minutes in every certain station.
I guess "Long Haul" is the correct word rather than "Long Journey"
you need to try BIMA's new compartment coach! that is real flagship service in our railway. with 2M IDR per-person.
I have filmed it, a video will be coming in the next few months... :)
I have filmed it, a video will be coming in the next few months... :)
@@SuperalbsTravelsTry the Indonesian high speed train. from china
you should tried the blue coach one, in BIMA train. we hope more videos about our railway! lovely!
I have filmed it, a video will be coming in the next few months... :)
we have another same-route service called "BIMA" train, and it has new class named "the luxury compartment". you should try it, it was the best in southeast asia as a whole!
I have filmed it, a video will be coming in the next few months... :)
Nice one! Indonesia is sometimes overlooked, but the country seemed very clean and modern, and the scenery was spectacular. I really liked the bright green architecture of Stasiun Gambir.
That why they are called silent giants. A big country with Economy level to make them become the member of the top G20, the powerhouse of Southeast Asia, but they never involved themself to outside political business. Make them invisible and overlooked.
@@Ilyas-ty6cy tbh you can only call yourself a powerhouse when your gdp per capita is at least above 40,000$.
dont forget to try compartment class suites on BIMA's train! thanks for visiting our country!
I have filmed it, a video will be coming in the next few months... :)
please do review with new generation BIMA's compartment suites! we all waiting..!
I have filmed it, a video will be coming in the next few months... :)
For a perspective, the distance is almost equivalent to Amsterdam Centraal to Gare du Nord Paris. Using Thalys or Eurostar would be double the price at the cheapest one.
Proud subscriber here, loved seeing how this can be luxury in Indonesia!
I'm impressed on how you took your effort on pronouncing Indonesian places quite well
I do try! :)
Wow, as Indonesian, I can see this video was made really seriously, with all the research. Well done!
Great trip report! I'm looking forward to watching another of your next Indonesian train trip reports 👍🏻
I've been dreaming of having this kind of experience here in Indonesia. Thanks for sharing
Hey, long-time viewer from Indonesia here! I'm glad you enjoyed the trip. Though this train isn't considered a "luxury" anymore, if you want a better luxury experience, you should try Argo Bima's compartment train. Anyhow, I can't wait for more Indonesian train reviews, especially Whoosh!
Oh my gosh 🤩 you finally tried Indonesian trains, your channel and Nonstop Eurotrip channel are my favorite channels about train travel around the world. Previously Nonstop Eurotrip has tried regular and high-speed trains in Indonesia, I hope you try it too and it finally comes true. Actually, Argo Dwipangga has received a new trainset from INKA at the end of 2023, in my opinion it is more modern and futuristic. I hope you enjoy traveling on Indonesian trains
Nice to see you back again
Thanks for making this Amazing videos. I traveled with the same train you got, last year , to visit my family . Enjoy your trip! welcome to Indonesia
Your articulation is so clear, so easy to understand
Yea, that food is really crappy for what the tickets worth ngl. The foods you can order are decent enough tho.
16:08 .....and there's Taksaka, the golden goose (ish, the highest occupancy of executive class+) who take the naming convention, beat it to a pulp, and throw it out the window.
Congrats on 100k!!
Man this brings back memory of my first time taking a train ride on my own. What I really can't forget is when you cross serayu river then you look at the left bank of the river on your right when you go eastward you'll see a really big tree. I wonder if it's still there..
Am eating dinner right now. I am really happy to see you post again!
He took a break because of Christmas, New Year's, and to rest as TH-cam is hard work
Glad to be back! :)
Wow - this was a great travel! Really unique country with amazing landscape!
thank you for making this video very appreciated
It's so surreal watching you go to places that I have been to
You explained in details and clear. It's nice. Happy traveling in Indonesia.
you have such deep research! amazing
as an Indonesian, your explanation is very in-depth, it shows that you did a proper research when making this video
keep up the good work
well happy to finally watch your indo train series
Thanks. Many more to come soon... :)
Looks an awesome country,great video fella,congrats on the 100k subs,cheers 👍😉💪
Thank you so much 😎
3:35 Fun fact: KAI buys a lot of retired Japanese trainsets for their commuter services in Jakarta because the network consists of 1067mm rail gauge and 1500V DC electrification, which is the same as a large portion of railway lines in Japan.
That's why you'll see some famous trainsets like the JNR/JR East 205-0 series (from Yamanote Line and Saikyo Line), Tokyu 8000 series (from Tokyu Toyoko Line and Oimachi Line), as well as TRTA/Tokyo Metro 6000 series (from Chiyoda Line) running in Jakarta.
And KAI retained a lot of markings in Japanese with only the essential systems being labelled in Indonesian language.
For example, you'll see a P|SN mark on the side of a 205-0 series, which stands for the trainset is equipped with ATS-P (protection by both wayside colour light signals and brake curve calculated by onboard transponder) and ATS-SN (roughly equivalent to Network Rail AWS) train protection systems during their original service in Japan.
Also read of a story where a Tokyo commuter misplaced his spectacles on a subway train, but after the train was donated to Jakarta, a commuter there found the spectacles & sent it back to the Tokyo commuter
You have a best review videos dude ! So much knowledge's you've explained 👍👍👍
Congrats for 100k!!!!
Thank you!!! 🙏😍
The narration was superb 👌
I'm just amazed by what you know about Indonesia
The attendant standing on the roof of the train is filling water for the toilets, they do this to ensure the toilets don't run out of water.
Argo means mountain, but in the context of the train the word Argo was chosen to symbolise a peak / highest caste. Dwipangga is indeed derived from the name of a legendary elephant, the location of this elephant is on the Gajahwonh River and this river passes east of Yogyakarta Station. So indeed the name Argo Dwipangga sounds meaningless at first glance, but if studied further Argo Dwipangga means the Highest Caste Train to Yogyakarta.
In addition to DwiPangga, every train with the name Argo is always followed by the name of a mountain in the area around the railway line. For example, Argo Pharayangan to Bandung in the Bandung area there is Mount Pharayangan, and Argo Bromo to Surabaya in the south of Surabaya there is Mount Bromo.
Thank you!
Great trip. Finally your Indonesian adventure is uploaded. The naming scheme in Indonesian Train is unique, and have many references, like Volcano/Mountain, Mythical Animals, Flower, Cities, Historical Kingdom, Temple, And many more. For Kereta Api, yes it's reference coming from Steam Train, but in current time which majority of Indonesian Train using Diesel, in some cases you can still see some Fire coming from locomotive. Looks like it's a sweet snack on the lounge, and yeah for the soft one it's nearly out of stock. For the seating, it's great, and correct me If I wrong, in the past this train labelled as Sleeper Train by Media. Jakarta Metropolitan Area is massive, but it easy to identified, just find where the last time you watched Commuter Line, because Jakarta Metropolitan Area is connected by Commuter Line, and speaking of Commuter Line, the Gondangdia Station is the closest one to Gambir if you want to visit this station. For Train tracking, I prefer using Google Maps rather than on board Entertainment or even Access App, as long as there's power sockets in my seat. Can't wait for your another train adventure in Indonesia, especially the Sri Tanjung one
Thanks for the information! More to come soon. :)
Great insight as usual. Thank you.
Very different scenery.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Finally! I’ve been waiting for your Indonesian series, even though our current train service isn’t perfect, cause we’re still a developing nation, but we’re super grateful for the drastic and better changes throughout the years. Looking back when i was in elementary school, the train situation back then was super duper chaotic. Please try the compartment suites train as well, that’s the brand new flagship luxury train in Indonesia. Enjoy your trip! Greetings from Yogyakarta
Thanks! I have a Bima video coming too! :)
A very informative video trip 🙌
Very interesting video. I’ve travelled a lot on Indonesian trains and mostly found them very good. The main drawback is the limited timetable, presumably because of limited track and platform capacity. So there’s still a need for more investment in the network, much of which still dates from Dutch colonial times. On board catering is also in need of significant upgrading - not, surely, that difficult in a country that has a great culinary tradition.
Thanks, I agree, they need more infrastructure!
Onboard catering has been plaguing our trains since forever. If you’ve seen the dining car, there’s nothing there beyond cup noodles and microwaved meals. Believe it or not, this is actually an improvement from what it was before 😂
Locals like me prefer to bring our own food that we buy from the station we depart from and Indonesian Railways Company are okay with it. I wonder why they haven’t invested in a better dining options because I’d definitely buy my meals onboard if the options are not as limited as it is now.
Read that Japan has won a contract to upgrade the normal speed tracks between Jakarta-Bandung
@@lzh4950 wow that's interesting!
gambir was never mean for commuter line (local destination), it was exactly mean for a long distance train. my highschool wasn't far from there and i never seen any of my friends went to gambir to take a train.
8:54
"...as wel as two sad-looking sausages"
You gotta love British brutal honesty.
So refreshing. 😅
Overhead rails are used in low clearance situations. The pantograph of an electric train has to exert quite a bit of upward pressure on the wires to maintain constant contact, this causes them to flex up. The overhead rails solve this, the wire is still there, it's just embedded in the bottom of the rail. The rail serves as a guide preventing the wire from flexing or moving.
In low clearance situations where the contact wire needs to be physically closer to the train and the pantograph needs to compress, overhead rails are used for their increased rigidity and strength, forcing the pantograph springs to compress while maintaining constant contact.
The reason why they're not used more widely is since they are physically larger and denser than the wires, they causes increased electrical impedance which can cause a decrease in current, voltage, or both.
Yeah I read that at higher voltages like 25kV there might be problems due to overhead rails being thicker than wires. However they are more rigid & less likely to loosen/break/get entangled with pantographs & other things
I have never thought you will review Indonesian train, it caught me by surprise. thanks for the video
Always looking to try new trains! :)
Your video quality is so good
welcome back and congratulations on your 100K subscriber, hope you can come back and review the new carriages
Thank you so much! 😁
I had a ride in executive class on the same route last year and it did not feel cramped at all. I would even say the food was better, than what you got. I had rice with fried chicken, tempeh and some vegetables... not restaurant quality, but still good for train-food.
Brilliant vlog, got nice information!
OH WOW, YOU WERE IN INDONESIA AS WELL! You and "Nonstop Eurotrip" are 2 of dozens railway TH-camrs I frequently watch. Thank you so much for your honest review. I guess the Indonesian Railway is spreading around the world.
That's right, it's an interesting development to watch, lots of new trains in Indonesia!
Answer to your question about the solid overhead wire, I’ve seen it used on metro systems in Buenos Aires & Madrid! It’s known as Rigid Overhead catenary system. Used in restricted height areas. If you notice in your clip the solid wire runs under the station canopy, so that’s the reason ( you’d think they would have just altered the canopy height.) Excellent video as always
i hope you enjoy the trip with argo class train! it was wonderful journey!
I did! Thank you! :)
I love how you put real effort to pronounce those names wkwk very nice !
Sepertinya anda tahu banyak tentang perkeretaapian Indonesia tahu jalur rel traknya, sejarah, & panorama alamnya 👍
Very impressive and stylish station and staff.
I think because they've got some of their rollingstock from Japan, it seems they've also adopted some of the uniform styles and mannerism of Japanese railways. I have seen some footage of some operations where the drivers would emulate the point and check ways in Japan.
I love your videos, so it's pretty cool and unexpected that you goes to my country!
Glad you like them! More from Indonesia will come soon. :)
Beautiful
TraiwindowView
Thanks to Mr. Ignasius Jonan. Without his cold hand leadership, Indonesian railways won't be this good.
Nice video! Next you must try the compartment suite class of BIMA or ARGO SEMERU train. And you can try the newest carriages of Argo Dwipangga/Argo Lawu, and also Taksaka train.
your quality and detail of the information is crazy
In a good way, I hope? :)
As a traveler, railfan, Indonesian.
all I can say is
Outstanding content, Keren bro!
Thank you!! @@yangolehman
You went right past my home in Bekasi which used to be the end of commuter line trains. Now they go all the way to Cikarang. I used to live in Yogyakarta so nice to see you travelling around Indonesia.
Oh how cool! I really enjoyed visiting. :)
Love your work!
Thank you! 😁
The only downside of Indonesia normal train is the loudness of the train wheels on the track, because it uses old train track system since the colonial era until now. Sometimes you need to shouts when talking inside the train especially when you are in the connectors areas
Few months too early before the new generation Argo Dwipangga.
Oh man 😥
In this morning a had journey with economy class. Not bad, clean & comfortable
Thank you for using Indonesian train transportation, there are many different classes of Indonesian trains, sometimes the names are the same but the interiors are different.
16:25 overhead rails are favourable to power lines because they're more durable, though they're usually reserved for tunnelled sections (MRT Jakarta, Sofia Metro's newest line) to minimise exposure to the elements, which could cause the rails to expand in hotter environments.
They're there to power the commuter trains between Yogyakarta, Solo, and a few intermediate stops
❤ good detail video
Thank you! 😎
Congrats on 100k subscribers
Thank you so much! 🥰
Indonesia is just a young country, normal to take time for adjusment and most of product still prioritize the function of the product due to optimize function of the product. :)
Welcome back! And congratulations on reaching 100K subscribers. This calls for a little celebration. 🥳
Now back on topic - KAI Executive product, IMO, is superior to what you get in Business Class (in an aeroplane), though they were expensive. I'm not sure why "Elephant Mountain" is the name of this train (which makes no sense), but I know that KAI has a consistent naming scheme for its luxury train services. Indonesians are vocal about trains (and that's evident in the introduction of the Whoosh HSR service). Hence, people use them to get to their destinations. Hence, Gambir is so small in Indonesian long-distance standards. The new and improved Manggarai station can't come soon enough.
Thanks! 😅
I like the way you narrated, the train looks nice tho
Riding on this class would be the best day for anyone who can't afford this.
Great video!! As Indonesian thank you for showing our train, i guess you make this video when in dry season? , the scenery is more beautiful and green in rain season, still good video though.
Your video is so good i hope you got more subscrbr.
Very cool! 😮 Didn't expect Indonesia to have such good trains!
They're insanely bumpy, and the older ones don't have the same entertainment. I will say though that the legroom is indeed insane. Gambir station gives me ptsd though
@@colinburdett9950 i mean this one is new though in also a new luxury class, the older one you were talking about was probably the regular executive class or even economy
What? They have high speed bullet train running speed of 350km/hr.
so what do you think about my country😂😂.
Congratulations on 100k subscribers 😊🇳🇴
Thank you! 🥰
I thought this was gonna be about Argo Dwipangga! It's an improvement from the one shown in this video - the Netflix still doesn't work but the seats are awesome and the food is actually amazing
