That TGV looks poised for a successful career with these optimizations. Want to see it on Rail Baltica when it opens!
GUYS IT'S NOT AN AI, the other narrator is in maternity leave, and they had to hire this one
He said they hired a guy on Fiverr to narrate and hopes he isn't using AI. Kinda looks like he is.
@@krazYFaic well, idk that, I just said what I saw the channel commenting in the last video
@@krazYFaic Sounds like someone got scamed
It's paternity leave for a man. In any event get him back asap.
It really sounds off. Not human like.
Maintain punctuality? Trains in Cologne are so delayed that the train schedule is just a suggestion at this point. Utter joke....
But how much of that is due to the trains as they were built? i.e. not lack of maintenance of trains or tracks?
@@GustavSvardvery little. Its almost all upkeep and organisation/overusage
None of those are because of the trains themselves, they're all the result of years of underfunding in maintenance of the tracks
@@scanningallvidzs How much of Deutschlandtakt's investment plan will remedy that?
"Deutschlandtakt" is postponed to 2070 which was announced quite recently. Delays as usual by DB^^
Well a take timetable is being implemented by 2030 right? All infrastructure projects might not be done with the current funding but that can change
@@jakob7116 I should have been done in the last 30 years, so it is no surprise DE is so behind in transport.
Okay but that wasnt decided by DB though? And its not even their fault? The original date was just way to unrealistic
Deutschlandtakt is not one single thing, it is a gradual development. So it is not "prostponed to2070" but rather "it will take until 2070 until *everything* is operational".
Ja, When I'm 66 years old
it seems that your information are outdated - around two months ago I was on board of an ICE 3 NEO from Frankfurt Airport to Aachen, the final destination of the train was Brussels
I was going to say the same thing, ICE 3 Neos were used at least during the football euro between Belgium and Frankfurt, I was on one of them on my inboud trip
8:42 This is inaccurate. The TGV passanger cars are not 19.49 meter long. That is the avrage length. Of the 8 wagons. two wagons are about 21 meters long and the other are just shy of 19 meters long. 19.49 meter is the average length of the 8 wagons. This matters because other vice the math don´t fall out correctly.
Of all wagons was 19.49 meter long and shorted to 18.49 meter, the train would be 203 meter long in total. But the additional one wagon is not 18.49 meter long, but rather just shy of 18 meter long, There is basically where the extra meters comes from
9*18.49 = 166.41
2*20+7*18=166
The diff seems to be only half a metre, what am I missing ?
ICE 5 will be used in Los Angeles - Las Vegas although it will be called American pioneer 220 but it’s a ICE 5
Not 100% correct - If Germany also choose Siemens (i hope) the ICE 5 and AP220 are buildt on the same Plattform "Velaro Novo". But can still differ in a lot of things (length, speed, exact design etc).
This has to be AI. No human would say "bojies" (sic) for "bogies".
I wish we had this in Canada... Considering 51% of the 40 million of us live in 6 big cities in 2-3 general areas shows the need for well-connected regional HSR... Edmonton-Calgary... Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal and of course Vancouver-Seattle-Portland... Heck in the longer-term even a Regina-Saskatoon express train makes sense as does some sort of Maritime HSR network connecting Halifax, Moncton, St John and Fredericton since they are really close together and contain 1.7 million between the two provinces...Which are tiny in comparison to the rest of Canada..
2nd hand ICE trains should be available at a good price shortly.
Pity your lines are not electrified.
@@stickynorth Just like your southern neighbour, you've left it too late Canada. You'll never catch up with Europe, China and Japan. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
i mean, nowadays both sides of politics are in favour of transit in canada, with most cities having a transit megaproject. I'd say the time is about right to start building such hsr connections.
Remember the spanish are currently the world champion in building good hsr lines for cheap. And even so, the paris-lyon line made back its construction costs in 11 years...
@@daanwolters3751 Spain doesn't do it for cheap. That's a total affront to the professionalism of ADIF and RENFE.
Maglev would be better for those corridors. Electric regionals can work well for Saskatchewan and Winnipeg and maybe short turn services in northern Ontario
I see absolutely no reason that a replacement of the ICE3 is necessary - they still work just fine and still seem in perfect condition
Missing the original guy behind the scene
Deutsche Bahn should rather invest into maintenance of their infrastructures to fix their 40% of long distance train being delayed or cancelled, rather than new trains that will be stuck on the tracks
I love you videos. Please get your narrator with the nice slavic accent back, because the currant one sounds a bit AI like. Thx and keep up the great work 👍
Very interesting that the TGV M har 2 power cars. I was under the impression that all modern high speed trains were EMUs
There's nowhere to put the power equipment into double-decker with this loading gauge.
Dont like AI voice
is a real guy, the other one just had a baby (if I'm not mistaken)
Not an AI voice, they mentioned in a reply to a similar comment on their previous video that they’ve hired a new narrator.
@@NaenaeGamingwrong
The OG voice has a baby and will take care full time untill further notice. He isn't gone forever but won't see him anytime soon.
It doesn't even sound like AI lol
"(DB is upgrading to ICE3) to maintain punctually..." I hope not!!
ICE3Neo is supposed to be the result of lessons learned from ICE3. So it should produce less issues that introduce delays.
Please go back to having you guys narrate it it was so much more engaging and personalised, the audio volume also fluctuates a ton in this video and the last.
If the 400m long ice 3 has space for less than 500 passengers, how will the ice 5 (Also 400m) have space for 940 ?
also, the ICE 3 neo already drives on the brussels to frankfurt route
05:43 The introduction of the Deutschlandtakt is no longer 2030, it has been postponed to 2070 (!!!). No joke.
4:18 wait, the ICE3neo is 400m long but can only carry 439 passengers? earlier in the clip at 2:43 the future ICE5 allegedly is going to accommodate 940 passengers while also being 400m long. how is that possible?
They said 400 m when in double traction.
get rid of the AI please i beg you
is a real guy, the other one just had a baby (if I'm not mistaken)
This is a real person they’ve hired to do the voiceover.
There is literally no AI in this video. Can you please elaborate what you mean?
I waited for this video for a long time, and I am let down
This voice is a little bit better than the last one
I guess nappy duty is still in operation. When will he return?
It’s high time now that the high-speed rail line between Holyhead and Dublin was built as quickly as possible - those in power need to stop messing about and stop making excuses and just get it done
Germany trying to catch up and finally reach Industry Standard and France is actually looking to innovate
why the AI narrator ?
is a real guy, the other one just had a baby (if I'm not mistaken)
They hired a new narrator.
Where do you get your info some of it is like 5 months old.
Great video. Thank you 😉
And US still won’t have this type of high speed trains by 2035! Lol

Nothing new here. The information given is sometimes already outdated.
That ICE5 and TGV M thing sounds to me like mostly marketing bs, but also just a nice and big capacity train
Also, DB? Punctial? What?
Meanwhile for Bombardier Zefiro....
Very interesting information and exciting. However, it seems that the first 272 km of the first operational segment of the California High-Speed Rail will use trains that will run at higher speeds than either of these projects. The California trains will run at 350 km per hour. More than likely, they will be made by Siemens, too.
Let's see first when the phase one will open shall we...
What is the need for Highspeed trains, if the infrastructure is way behind and there is not enogh personal, bc the state isn’t investing enough
Please return the old narrator, this is pretty bad.
I for one actually welcome the new voice.
Yeah the old voice sounded rubbish this one even though its ai it sounds bette
@@Ishaanbiniwale I rather have a bad real narator, then a mid AI one.
The problem with AI narators is that they are often used in conten mill Ai generated videos that only push out huge amount of click bate videos with none sens script.
of cause, in this case it looks like the script is actually made by a human that kind of know what they are doing,. but if i didn´t know about this channel before, i would just click away instantly
What is the train of the future for you guys?
I really liked watching the video as a french user myself, I think we're far ahead of germany
Far ahead in which sense? Additionally I would suggest to see trains (and all other European projects) as such and don’t see one country “ahead”. In the train world all EU countries have the same problems which is getting more trains over the borders.
No need to boast about it. Siemens high-speed trains are on par basically. But the TGV M gets a head up.

New narrator or AI narrator: I don't care! The point is that the voice gave me the strongest uncanny valley feeling, This was beyooonnddddd creepy. WTH!!!!
Guys, where is quality control? You say ICE 3 neo but show a lot of Velaro D (ICE 3 "Classic" Family) fototage.
I do not belive DB will be able to buy the ICE 5 they envision tbh. They have to reduce spending like crazy

Appearance-wise they don't look as good as the older series.

The voice over actor was good, made the video easy to follow and enjoyable.
Yeah, but the thick Serbian accent was part of the charm of Railways Explained.
Nooo not again....
This is something the mighty United States of America should of had decades ago. The nation that put a man on the moon and yet can't achieve highspeed bullet train technology which is also fully electric. Highspeed bullet trains and maglev super train technology, the new american dream...
0.1% of your railway lines are electrified. India just converted its whole network to electricity. Start from here.

The new voice, AI or not, makes the video sound less reliable. If I'd discovered you with this voice I would not be subscribed.
2,7 bln = 100 trains
800 mln = 15 trains
😮why are these one much more expensive ?
I have a feeling that the company forced such a deal to counter the crazy increase in every raw material, energy and labour cost.
Another AI example: "As we came (sic) to the end of the video" instead of "As we come to the end of the video". Please get the normal guy back asap. Can't someone else change the nappies?

Why TGV-M can't go faster than 574.8 kmph speed set by its old version
The world record train of April 3, 2007, is a light version of the commercial version of the TGV POS, shortened by half, modified like the AGV bogies with revised aerodynamics, lightened because the enemy is the weight where all the superfluous had been removed, windshield wiper, pantograph to run in Germany. The tension of the section of line used, increased. The V150 project between the SNCF and Alstom was more than accomplished since it corresponds to 540 km / h. The speed of 574.8 km/hour was beyond their expectations, since the goal was the accomplishment of the V150 project expressed in m/s and not in km/hThe speed of 574.8 km/hour was beyond their expectations, since the goal was the accomplishment of the V150 project expressed in m/s and not in km/h. The world record train, to run for the first time in 2008 on the PARIS-OST-FRANKREICH Süddeutschland network, replaced by the Euroduplex in 2011 for Lyria on the PARIS LYON RHIN RHÔNE NETWORK and in 2019 on PARIS NORD LILLE EUROPE where most of the 19 trainsets handed over to the SNCF will be transformed into TGV DASYE. The TGV M or Avelia Horizon corresponds to the fifth generation of TGV Duplex. Previously, the first generation of Duplex consisted of locomotives from the TGV network. The second generation called TGV DASYE is like on the Ouigo of the SNCF the Voyageurs is made up of TGV POS locomotives. The third and most interesting also on POS locomotive are the Euroduplex or TGV 2N2, in which we find the Océanes and the Ouigo for the Spanish subsidiary of the SNCF. The TGV M is more complicated, the problem of all TGVs is modularity. Except that Alstom does not know, unlike Bombardier which perfectly masters (following its experience in commercial aviation, subsidiary Cannadair and its CRJ range), in association with Siemens like the ICE3 and ICE4. In the United States the Avelia Liberté, which correspond to the Avelia Horizon, but on a single level are built by Bombardier. (End of January 2021 acquisition of Bombardier Transport by Alstom). The TGV Horizon of Alstom's Avelia range is a request from the French government, in the continuity of the TGV Duplex, to replace the very first generation of TGV PSE between Paris, Lyon and Marseille. A first order was placed in 2015 following a call for tenders that could not have escaped Alstom, given the specifications imposed. A first order for 100 10-car trains with two locomotives at each end to limit maintenance, extrapolated from the AGVs that run between Milan, Rome and Venice with ITALO. The particularity of these trains, fully autonomous, capable of making their own diagnosis, is their modularity. The exterior design will be refined, the big news is that the TGV M will be entirely painted without stickers in the colors of the current TGVs or the red accent will be placed on the doors as an invitation to travel differently by this new "M" modularity of the TGV M. In 2018, another order for 15 additional trains intended for international use. The two orders, worth 3 billion euros, represent work until 2030. The first commissioning was to take place for the Paris Games, postponed it was to take place in December 2024, then finally in June 2025. Greetings from Lorient, Frédéric
What's the motivation? Noone uses that speed in revenue service.
@@u1zha I know but it's love to see how fast train can go
@@AM_Nevrekarthat’s a very bad argument, why would they invest in a faster train just to break a record when that speed won’t be used in revenue service? Besides the record has already been broken by maglev trains

great that the AI voice does not make any grammar mistakes that the serbian producers and speakers were not aware of, but everything else, all the cheaper looking graphics and more stock photos are making it worst. Can't you stay like before, only with LESS GRAMMAR mess-ups?
Grammar mess ups are fine I come here for information on rail not grammar lessons. Language learning is organic and the more they speak the more they'll learn and the fewer mistakes happen.
I preferred it that a human with an accent was speaking I don't want the entire web to be American accented.

@@kevink7529 you at least have to be gifted and live in a country with the foreign language you're learning surrounded by native speakers and only speaking and at one point dreaming in it. I guarantee you, languages with different grammar logics are hard to set aside.
@@Lukas-eh3dd really real? Puh, sounds not like I hoped.
Great they have babies and stuff changes. But here also the graphics didn't change for the better in my opinion.
@@dreimalnein22 I saw the guys saying he was in the "diaper duty" in the last video
Tracks not on elevated ducts are too dangerous for trains to tun above 300kph. Weather elements & earth movements will cause uneven tracks levelling.
Where does this nonsense stem from?
Of course you can pour ballastless track and compact earth to the needed stability, all without building a viaduct.
nonsense, 300kph trains have been running at grade for decades.
@@oadka He's probably a boastful Chinese
France and Germany should cooperate to build one single European high speed train like they made with Airbus.
No thanks
Never
Without tracks it’s useless
Theyre not "series built" they're "Siemens Built".
If you're going to hire a narrator, maybe make sure that they're not AI, and that english is their native language.
"Series-built" is a term that is an antonym of "prototype". Siemens builds prototypes. Then when kinks are ironed out Siemens produces the series run of that train.
@@u1zha I've never heard that before. it doesn't come up in the Thesaurus as an antonym, or an several different phrase website I've checked. So if that's true it's a pretty obscure usage, and seems more likely that the multiple instances of "series built" in this video are supposed to be "Siemens built" as its the primary manufacturer of German ICE trains.
Bad voice
The old original narrators voice wasnt that great cause of the same robotic pronounciation of every sentence. But this AI voice also doesnt feel right
I absolutely hate this AI(-like) voice, which is a pity as I am actually interested in the subject.
That is not progress! The only thing they have done is change the design inside and outside, but technologically there is no change! If not the German, then also the French trains are in a better state compared to the Chinese trains. They are much further along and go much faster. Also look at the rail infrastructure. The way the Chinese lay their tracks is much more innovative and progressive. Knowing that the Chinese trains already go 350 km/h, the "new" European trains are slower. In addition, the MAGLEV technology in China is much further along than in Europe. There they should have a MAGLEV connection within a few years, while in Europe that is not even being discussed. By the way, according to the information I have, the Russian high-speed trains will do even better, because they will reach 400 km/h. The question I ask myself is whether this video is not pure propaganda.
Bro you really believe the russians will be able to build a train that goes 400 km/h for prolonged period of time, reliable and safe for 30 years? They cant even produce the parts to keep their sapsans as intended. What you spill here sniffs like propaganda. They dont even have the infrastructure for that. Moskau - St Petersburg is 250 km/h.
In densely populated germany there's often not as much distance between population centers as you'd see in china, or even more - in russia. You can of course increase max speed, but you'll get diminishing returns. Time for braking and accelerating will eat up more and more of the drive time. So the actual difference between 300, 350 or even 400 gm/h max speed might be much smaller than you might imagine when using it on german routes. Hence its less of a priority here to have record braking speeds.
I'm very skeptical about the russian high speed claim given that they are currently running siemens velaro sets between moscow and st petersburg
Pour des pays à l'échelle de l'Europe, le 320 km/h est la vitesse optimale et c'est la plus rentable, parler de "trains lents" est un peu ironique.
Why use AI voice 🤮

ICE and technology, the mirror of the myth of the German model that opposes a DB network that is out of breath at a time when the Greens applaud while the cooling towers of nuclear power plants are destroyed with explosives, while opencast coal production has taken on worrying proportions following the war in Ukraine and the difficulties of Nordstreem 1 & 2 in supplying Germans with gas. Deutsche Bahn's rail infrastructure subsidiary, DB InfraGO, has just launched a new program to renovate its infrastructure. The key: a budget of 16.4 billion euros (€ billion) - put forward by the federal government and the Länder - for this year alone, (which corresponds to the abysmal expenditure of Stuttgart 21 around the renewal of its central station). The cause is the state of the rail infrastructure, which has been poorly maintained since the 1994 reform, when DB was transformed into a private company. The state-owned railway company, which remains 100% state-owned, has accumulated such a backlog of investments - estimated at more than €50 billion - that the 33,000-kilometre network is now running out of fuel, while almost 66% of trains arrive on time. Since 1 January 2024, DB InfraGO AG, the new state-owned infrastructure company that combines the resources of the former DB Netz AG and DB Station&Service AG, has been the rail infrastructure company of Deutsche Bahn AG in Germany. It combines the track and station activities of the DBAG Group. The aim of this initiative is to address the ageing and vulnerability of the railway infrastructure. Deutsche Bahn wants to ensure that the ageing of the railway infrastructure is halted. The rail network of German railways, plagued by colossal delays, is considered obsolete and overloaded. By the end of 2030, a total of 355 small and medium-scale measures are planned to improve the quality of the existing network, with an estimated budget of almost 103 billion euros for the 2022 financial year. These projects include infrastructure measures such as additional crossing possibilities, additional signals and track change operations or new platforms. The ageing of the bridges is the most significant concern, in which almost 60 billion euros will have to be invested. As a result, the work zones will be grouped into 40 “high-performance corridors”. In order to transfer rail traffic to the diversion tracks, these have already been renovated in February and March. The first renovation begins on 15 July 2024 between Frankfurt and Mannheim, in the most industrial part of the country. The line is completely closed for five months. The German railway line on the right bank of the Rhine was closed in August for work. The project to extend and improve the railway network between Karlsruhe and Basel is reaching a new milestone this summer. Freight trains are being diverted during the complete closure of the tracks between Rastatt and Baden-Baden. In conclusion High-performance trains at 320 km/h, such as the ICE 3neo, are of no use if the infrastructure, with the exception of the new high-speed lines, NBS & SFS, Neuebaustrecke & Schnellfahrstrecke, does not keep up or is vulnerable as in France by terrorist attacks on its ERTMS installations. Congratulations on your work, greetings from Lorient
Incredible that this comment has no thumb up! Thanks for the detailed info. Sorry to learn that the German railways are in such a dire state.
