@@ZRHTrainspotter And so we meet again, still spewing misinformation I see. Don't take this guy seriously, he's proven before not to know anything about Swiss railways or just railways in general... As to the topic of the discussion, yes, while expensive and certainly not flawless, the Swiss really do put to work all the things a well functioning railway should have.
Je vote pour la Suisse aussi en Europe. Mais bon vu le prix que ça coute un billet en Suisse, malgré les milliards de subventions qu'ils touchent de l'état fédéral, c'est la moindre des choses que ce soit les meilleurs trains d'Europe.
You’re right. Also can we just start appreciating Trenitalia have changed during this decade. They are getting better and better. Also many trains in this video don’t show the real state of railways.
They showed the TAF ( treno ad alta frequentazione- high frequency train) frecciabianca , ALE 568, regional trains and frecciaargento...these train aren't that bad...but it's trenitalia and trenord wich are bad....bad service
I'll vote for Switzerland … the scenery is beautiful and from my experience it works like a clockwork … and Austria… because the locomotives sing a melody while departing. :D
Andreas Hoppe absolutely agreed..their trains are maintained, their cities and small towns are well conneted, always on time and very clean in and out of the train
Yeah, I live in PL and I was like - wtf, we have such trains? But a lot of international trains go through (or from) Poland and this one was probably EuroNight designed as IC407 "Chopin", Warsaw - Wien, which was pulled by Polish EU44 to Bohumin and by Czech ČD 380 from there. Carriages were (and still are) provided by different countries as well.
My top 12 in Europe: 1. Switzerland 2. Austria 3. Finland 4. France 5. Nederlands 6. Spain 7. Germany 8. Sweden 9. Czech Republic 10. Norway 11. Denmark 12. Italy I took into account factors like service quality, infrastructure quality & comfort, reliability, affordability, but also, the hardest to quantify: the "wow factor", aka that which makes an impression on the traveller. Feel free to dispute my ranking according to your opinion.
@@terrainaheadpullup3092 thats not all trains, thats just slow commuter trains and mountain trains like anywhere else in the world, switzerland also has fast trains between the cities and major towns in the flatter parts of the country but obviously in the mountains trains can not go as fast. the swiss have prioritised efficiency over speed which makes their system work, trains are to the minute on time and all mode of transports are integrated so that you can continue your journey quicker, in towns outside the main cities the train will pull into the station and all the local buses will be timed to arrive at the same time so everyone can change. rural communities are also incredibly well served with very frequent trains at all times of the day. All this in comparison to the shambolic nature of the UK railways which are always late, expensive for a poor service with frequent delays, and an entire network that is not integrated well enough because of all the seperate companies, gradually since the beeching cuts as well rural service has become increasingly poor especially in the North of england and wales as well as rural scotland. In switzerland the trains are pricey but the service is punctual, fast and works together with other modes of transport. in the uk trains are late, infrastructure is poorly maintained, and the rising ticket prices are inexcusable, the UK rail system is overall, shite.
I decide for the Austrian ÖBB. Not because i'm Austrian, but because they are really developing things in the right direction: Fast and clean trains, cheap prices. 29.- Vienna - Munich or 30.- Vienna - Prague 1st class is something you barely can beat with a car.
im italian and trust me: 1) we got our own regional train called Rock and Pop created by an italian team originally called Ansaldo now owned by Hitachi but nothing changed 2) we got only fast trains for long travels and slower for commute(Frecciabianca is almost death and only 2 Intercity available), our high speed use mostly only AC and tge rest CC... we mostly dont use an Eurocity so we dont create traffic to the commuters except in departures 3) we dont trust in nobody except ourselves, in Viareggio a german freight train rent derailed killing 32 people(families in their homes sleeping mostly) by an explosion of gpl due the not existent safety mesures of Germany(so actually no Siemens available for us, thankfully)...we forced Germany to stop this but outside the trains are far less safe, that's why mostly we delay
In terms of reliability, accessibility, quality and affordability Switzerland and the Netherlands are certainly the top two. After that we have most Western European countries and the Czech Republic and then the others. The only country that really stands out in a negative way is Albania. Even Moldova has better infrastructure.
@@CoasterTopia also what about top speed belgian IC trains have a top speed of 160kph and 200kph on some lines the dutch only have 140kph and 160 on the hsl
My Top 5 are: 1. SBB / They have good Trains. They are not delayed. And are connecting Switzerland very good. 2. SNCF / I dont now much About SNCF but their Trains are fast and I was one time in Paris and no Train was delayed. 3. ÖBB / The ÖBB have got very modern Trains and they havent got very much delay on their Trains. 4. MÁV / I´m from Hungary but I know a lot of their Trains. They are fast Nothing has delay in Budapest (My expiriance) And the most of them is brand new or will be modernised in near future. 5. CD / I can only hear good comments About CD . Their Trains are comfortable and are Looking good for a nice Trip :) /Bonus/ DB / I dont like the DB because there are so many People on the Trains and ist so expensive. And at least every second Train is delayed. No joke. I was in Germany and I nearly missed the next Train because of delay!
Czech Republic - one of the highest railway densities in the world, there are (still used) train tracks everywhere. When a train is delayed connecting trains usually wait. On many routes they still use quite old rolling stock, with cabins and the best: windows which are able to open! Love that! Fares are very cheap, on domestic sectors usually just a few Euros. The SC Pendolino (fastest train in the Czech Republic) is very comfortable and the fare in 2nd class includes water, newspapers and wifi. Definitely not Germany. Travel a lot by train in Germany and I hate it. Mostly late and super expensive.
I agree, I ve been in the Czech Republic and I love it! Trains are always on time, cheap and go to the most remote places. Here in the Netherlands trains are a bit more expensive and don't go to all places, but all trains are quite recent build (oldest from the 1980s) and frequenty is crazy (Intercity every 10 min on some lines).
@@daanwillemsen223 But I see the main problem with the train which Henrik227 has chosen. With squealing brakes. Half of Czech trains does have brakes which practically do not squeal and this train it would be fine to add. Other problems I have found in the part where Greece is shown (you can see only changing locomotives) and in the part where Poland is shown (last part is made in Wien Hauptbahnhof and the Locomotive is Škoda 109E constructed in Plzeň, West Czechia.
You forgot Luxembourg (train company: CFL). To me the best railways in Europe are the Swiss Railways, followed by the Austrian, German, Dutch, Belgian, British and Czech railways. One I don't like is the French one. They spend all of their money on the high speed network, while the regional trains suffer from bad service and poor maintenance of the infrastructure (for example, Railroad Crossing closing failures are quite common in France).
I didn't put them in a particular order, but I only rode on both the Dutch and German railways for a handful of minutes in total. And I only took 1 NS train in the Netherlands, the other ones were from Arriva. I precise in the Netherlands because I already took another NS train in Belgium between Brussels and Antwerp, the Benelux train.
Most of the countries with a nationalised railway network had old delapidated trains and railway infanstructure (Russia, Ukraine, Italy, Bulgaria and Albania. As well as some in Germany, France and Spain)
Hi! At 20:44 is not CFM, all videos are from Romania. If you take a look at the first video you can see on the locomotive the logo of Romanian Railways (CFR- Căile Ferate Române). Republic of Moldova doesn't have electrified railways. You did a confusion between Republic of Moldova and the historic region of Romania, named Moldova.
Not only here a mess-up of trains and countries. Bulgaria with romanian trains, swedish trains in denmark. Vienna is now in Poland and so on Almost only commuter trains and not really good quality of films. Wrong informations given to lenght, gauge etc. for several countries.

Germany's DB Railways system is a fantastic example in this regard, Beautiful trains, beautiful trams & their wonderful railway tracks specially Hanging train routes + an entrance of tram inside of the Residential Plaza of Dusseldorf city after it the Areas of Black forest, really Heaven at the Earth.......most likely beautiful Railway junctions of the world.
I‘m sorry to disagree, I’ve had mainly bad experiences, clean trains of course, but on the other hand late trains (very often) and wired information about things like the car order or what platform the train is arriving.
Yes, the SJ train go from Stockholm to Copenhagen. And we arlsow had öresundstog/oeresundstrain, SJ/dsb, that goes from Helsingø to Helsingborg via Cph and Malmø C, and to other larger citys in Skåne/Skaene. It is a team work betvin SE and DK. Heisan Oscar
Nice video! Sadly I was missing the info about Lithuania :( Best is I guess Switzerland because of it’s punctuality and continuance of service in the worst weather but I think my home country (The Netherlands) does have the most beautiful trains (ofcourse there are a few exceptions)
Czech Republic - not so fast and most comfortable, but very cheap and easy to travel, the stations are almost everywhere... and except the national carrier České dráhy (Czech railways) there are many commercial carriers like Regiojet and Leoexpress working on the main lines really helping to improve the services of České dráhy :)
@@tomasbrabec1706 Actually those are the cars I like, even though their condition over the years may not be the greatest I still like them, I refer to an original design. In terms of condition - everything modern to this will become in bad shape if poorly maintained in a decade or so.
I love the older trains in the Czech Republic. With the locomotive at the front and individual carriages at the back, instead of a fixed trainset, so the train capacity can be adjusted easily when demand is high. And I love it when it’s possible to open the windows and look out and breathe the fresh air and listen to the sound of the bumpy tracks :)
Been in Czech Republic several times and your trains ARE comfortable for the most part, and cheap at that. The decision to buy second-hand Austrian cars is one of the best, while we are getting more and more PESA crap :( Białystok to Jelenia Góra, a solid 6 hours journey, in an overgrown Dart tram isn't the best you can get.
Nice compilation, and comparison between each country. Personally i view the Eurasia rail system as whole system connecting villages with towns, towns with cites and country to country. I travel a lot on the railways from my local station in the UK to many different countries across Eurasia. Who needs air planes when you can use this great rail system. Each country you pass through has many differences from the last, the only constant in all this is the railway. Happy to see you aboard abroad.
as a lifelong train geek (railfan? pah!) I really appreciate this guy's videos; not over-long, good shots and sound - what's not to like?! keep it coming Mr. Migliore (please!)
Based on this video, no idea. Based on experience and other videos, 1) NL 2) DE 3) Norway 4) Switzerland 5) Austria. ps. They are all good in terms of usefulness, eq. age, destinations and high speed options.
Cooler Boi It’s not shit the trains are comfortable and perfect the only problem is that DB is ran by the country so that the DB can’t make better schedules and so on
Not really. The Swisssystem is modern and ALWAYS on Time. I live in Switzerland and in 25 Years of train traveling the biggest delay we had was 25 Minutes...
1.)Switzerland 2.)Germany 3.)France 4.)United Kingdom 5.)Netherlands (I'm British btw, our only flaw is slight unpunctuality. But that's nothing out of the ordinary for Europe.)
Taperet First of all there’s no “us”, second of all we’re the best of tier 2, the rest of tier 2 is Netherlands, Italy, etc, whereas tier 3 (the worst in Europe), is mostly Slavic countries, and with your logic, seeing as you’re from Spain presumably, you have an inferior train system to us anyway, which in reality you do, so you kinda shot yourself in the foot with those outright fallacies.
Switzerland, not only for efficiency but for customer service. We got vouchers for free food/drinks on any train because our train was 5 minutes late leaving.
Although you did do a really nice video, I will have to say you misused some footage, particularly for Moldova. You could tell this because Moldova doesn't even have electrified railway, at all. What you filmed are Romanian trains. Ironically thou, at 27:35 you did film the train that connects Bucharest with Chisinau (capital of Moldova) and the blue wagons you could clearly see a different build configuration that resembles the Russian and Ukrainian wagons. Other than that, keep up the good work! Salutations from Cluj Napoca, Romania! ;)
Personally I'd say the Netherlands, they have one of the most connected rail networks I've seen across Europa, from "Stoptreinen" (Trains that stop along every (if not most) stations along the route) to a High Speed rail line between The Hague and Eindhoven (this due to Rotterdam-Breda being a High Speed connection (excluding via Dordrecht here), But the amount of trains you have in the Randstad Metropolitan Area is insane. Haarlem - Amsterdam is served with trains every 5 to 7 minutes, most lines with the most remote stops are served with 2 trains per hour at the minimum (excluding other operators like NMBS (who operates border stations Maastricht and Roosendaal with 1 train per hour). I do admit, fares ARE expensive in the Netherlands (Which is not a problem if you're a frequent traveller with a subscription, which can go as low as 31 euro's per month for Unlimited weekend travel). And the SLT (Sprinter Light Train) are also a curse if you're a first class traveller, they don't offer any kind of sockets or wifi, nor toilets in most trains. I'd say NMBS/SNCB does quite a good job too in Europe, but I can't say much good things apart from their VERY comfortable InterCity trains, they operate a lot of important lines with way too less trains, and they're too crowded often (Especially from De Panne to Gent, or Mechelen to Brussels). Most lines however only have 1 to 4 trains per hour, which is disappointing as it results in a VERY long transfer time (50 minutes for my usual transfer on Antwerpen Centraal (one of the largest stations!))... and delays are not uncommon at NMBS shall I say (they often are delayed 8-20 minutes.. after 20 minutes you have a high chance on your train being cancelled in the middle of nowhere, resulting in you being unable to catch your connection even with a long transfer time)
Same goes for Denmark to be honest. The State Railroads here are expensive, not on time and they've cut back so many of the services on board that it's simply not worth the price. It's so bad now the government is trying to promote intercity buses as the future. That is unless private companies start running intercity trains in Denmark like we see in Sweden with MTR, Snälltåget and Tågab.
I guess you didnt once tryed the German one, they get more and more billions of tax money and their service gets worse and worse, and prices are geting higher too.
now, it's not so bad at all. Booking early, you can get quite cheap Tickets, and 70% late does also mean 30% just in time. I, lucky as I am, get the 30%, mostly :-D
@@wolframjahn2068 Can't complain about an £11 return journey from Manchester Piccadilly to Blackpool North. Cheap weekend away. This journey on the National Express coaches are £15
me too , i been there i was suprised really clean and not expesive , futuristic train design on board wifi very fast and friendly staff , everywhere you can go around the city very easy to use by metro , i vote the best city in Europe not only the public transport
Not the same statement by the austrian guy, but the ÖBB has also some majour problems in terms of being on time, atleast i'm close to a privat railway.......
nour ossendorf Dank unserer Regierung, die die DB zum Sparkurs gezwungen hat wodurch sie kaputt gespart wurde, vielen unserer Fahrgästen die meinen schwarzfahren zu müssen, Türen zu blockieren oder wieder aufzuschieben und am besten noch das Zugpersonal zu nerven.
25:06 that´s a Czech Train in Vienna.... There are A LOT of inaccuracies in this video! Oh and btw: When you name a video like that, you should answer the question! And be a bit more in-depth than just showing video clips and given the raw data and giving a list without explanation at the end
I watch a lot of train videos and the best one that i've ever seen was a fairly fast running train that went through Zurich. Switzerland, Germany and a few other countries have a really good railway system.
Well, here in the southern parts of Sweden, where the company : " Skånetrafiken " operates, the trains are often late, and more often than not : cancelled, due to staff shortages, signals that don`t work or track work, that often happens on the worst time, when many people ride trains. Several people now drive cars to work instead of riding trains, due to all the problems.
I live in Austria. We have a really great train system with nice trains, but traveling can be expensive. I can compare a view countries, but the country I experienced most is actually Italy. It was already menshioned, that there were shown only old fashioned trains fpr Italy, but I'm every year there and althought there are main diferences between North Italy and South, the Italian Train System has to offer more by far. The great modern High Speed trains are only one side of the medal, but also many other trains and locomotives which are made in Italy are unique pieces. I also apreciate the prices, they are really much lower than for example in Austria. The most important Stations like Rome or Milan, are offering great Italian architecture and inside there are shops with fashion, Italian Bars with great coffee and cakes or Pizza, supermarkets, restaurants, securities everywhere, it is actually the biggest train station I can remember, perhaps Paris is the same. One of the main attractions is of course the High Speed Train ITALO, it is made of recycling material and it is connected to High Speed Internet and Real Time Television, The highest Speed Trains are allowed to reach is about 300 km/h, also if they could reach about 400 km/h, but for security reasons it is not allowed, also because of the terrain. Comparison: From Rome to Milan it takes you about 3 hours with the High Speed Train against a normal Intercity 6 Hours. Last but not least Poland has a nice train manufacturer and very clean trains, some of the trains are made for export to other countries. France is one of the biggest High Speed train manufacturer for Europe, but of course there are some important companies in Germany which are also making high quality locomotives and trains. In Germany there is one great option, I didn't see in other countries I have been. If you buy a ticket for two you can take aditionally a third person which for example forgot her money at home. I haven't been to Germany for so long, but I also appreciate their train system. Czech train stations seem to be very dangerous, especially the little towns, the trains also are basicely old, but I appreciate the locomotives, which seem to work great. That's what I experienced on my own, thank's for reading!
I mean I live in switzerland and it's just beautiful I travel by train nearly everyday and everything is working it's always on time always clean and there's a trainstation in nearly every town also do we have some of the most beautiful trainroutes
Switzerland, and their reliability. There was an uproar a few years ago when SBB wanted to remove the 'second' hands from station clocks to save on repairs and costs. They still remain! That shows dedication. Here in the UK, a train can roll into a station 5 minutes behind schedule as still be 'on time'.
I beleive Bosnia still uses steam locomotives regularly! 5:00 nice catch of an electric locomotive purely coasting! Estonia also uses off-the-shelf American-built Dash 7s for freight service Poland also ran steam regularly until the 1990s, i think. I think there also might still be regularly operating steam in Serbia too The UK (I consider it separate from the rest of Europe), Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, France, Sweden, Bosnia, and Russia are some of my favorite European rail systems. But I do like that Portugal and romania have a series of private operators without a National operator like the UK.
Steam in Poland? Are you high? Poland has one of the best train systems in Europe as it's clearly seen in this video. The only place in Poland where you can find steam trains is Museum.
30:00 - national railway company in Slovakia is Železničná spoločnosť Slovensko (ZSSK). Železnice Slovenskej Republiky cares about rail infrastructure, not trains. ;)
The netherlands, they have the busiest rail system of the world, the simplest signal system, very well maintained and therefore the least accidents. Nevertheless when it still was a government company years ago, it was way better back those days.
I would have to say switzerland as a dutchie, very reliable and punctual. Netherlands would be in my top 5 as we have a very dense network. Sadly the NS mostly runs on the mainlines Wich leaves the rest of the rural and unelectrified lines to other transport companies
"Best" is a subjective superlative. Before embarking on a comparison exercise, one must first define a set of criteria by which different railway systems are rated -- "comparing apples to apples". Some of those criteria may include geographic coverage, median speed, on-time record, average age of equipment, on-board facilities (hard products) and associated amenities, comfort, quality of service, etc. Off the top of my head based on my own experience, without having done any due-diligence analysis, I would vote for SBB/CFF/FFS (Switzerland), DB (Germany), and SNCF (France). Further thoughts: 1) For domestic routes, total system length is a misleading metric; it must be "normalized" to take into account the size of a country -- for example, kilometers of tracks per square kilometer; 2) for international routes, appropriate metric(s) must be devised to reflect the extent of reach.
P.S. I'm American, and have traveled the US rail system from Chicago to San Francisco five times as a teenager. It used to be outstanding, but is now is 3rd rate.
In some parts of the US, passenger rail is almost nonexistent, and where it does exist it must usually share the rails with freight trains. Some large cities have commuter rail but few intercity trains. A hundred years ago in New England there were passenger trains everywhere, but now most of the rights-of-way have been given up. The automotive/oil interests put them out of business.
Axel Stabursvik, In the US, the various corporations that own most of the rails and rights-of-way can make money on hauling freight, but the subsidies and income from passenger trains is inadequate, so they do not make improvements for higher-speed use or for the added traffic on their limited facilities. We've spent billions on our Interstate highway system but virtually nothing on railroads. The auto and oil interests like it that way.
fan8281, certainly most US cities would benefit from an integrated rail/metro/tram system, but a couple of things make it difficult. While many European cities are compact area of high population surrounded by farm/forest/open land, we suffer from suburban sprawl. Our populations are spread out over a large area. Many European cities have upgraded preexisting rail and streetcar rights of way, but we've given up most of them, and acquiring new rights of way would be horrendously expensive. And in the US, people are still in love with their cars. I've visited the UK several times and never had to rent a car. The Tube, rail and bus services will get you just about everywhere, and I'm envious.
fan8281 I liked your pun. In the US, taking land by eminent domain for a "social" interest isn't easy, especially when the land has been developed for housing, and it can be very costly. In the suburbs, many towns require a house to be on an acre or more of land, so there aren't many areas of contiguous undeveloped property. A hundred years ago there were railroads everywhere, but most of those corridors have become highways, hiking trails or housing developments - very shortsighted! There is not enough public sentiment yet to enact laws that will encourage these expensive eggs to be cracked!
High speed: I like Spanish high speed trains (AVE) they are ALWAYS on time and they have the highest average speed of all European trains. Train system: Switzerland (SBB) they are comfortable and usually on time. I like ČD, NS and DB too. I don’t like SNCF they are not good.
24:00 Polish one is absolutely prefect. First is says - Polish national railway - while showing local 'Lesser Poland' (Cracovian) regional railway Next is proper EMU of PKP (Stadler FLIRT2 if i remember correctly) Next still called polish is Czech Train (Ceskie Drahy on the side) in Vien Hbh XD
I like the Hungarian Trains. But I´m from Hungary and I know that there are better Trains as that old Passenger (not the InterCity) There is a BR 185 too. But next time find a Clip from Keleti Station :) there are better trains
It is ridiculous that the Polish railway shows show the most modern Czech locomotive and Hungarian wagons and pictures of Czech railways show the locomotive 25 years old and Slovak railways locomotives 50 years old :) The most modern Czech locomotives is more widespread in Poland than in the country of the producer and their brotherly country Slovakia? This is how made misinformation :)
It is author's mistake. That's not promo video. If it would be PKP promo video there would be lots of Alstom Pendolino, Stadler Flirts, Pesa Darts, Newag Impuls and EU44 (Siemens ES64U) and maybe some vectrons. That doesn't mean we don't lease locos from CD, because we do, due to the engines shortages... Unfortunately
@ On Finnish part they also didnt show any Pendolinos, fastest trains. So yeah. Still this video was interesting to see nonetheless, i knew that economical big countries like north europe and west europe have good systems, but didnt really know anything about east european countries.

Dont forget the world speed record for the France : 1955 = 331 kmh, 1981 = 380 kmh, 1990 = 515 kmh, 2007 = 574 kmh, actually the Japan hold the record at 600 kmh ! Please Europa make united !
im from Switzerland and trains here are clean they are faster than a car and train stations are clean, most importantly they are on time most of the time and train rides are relaxing even when its crowded
French SNCF tracks construction and maintenance on main lines are more good than in neighbours SNCB in Belgium and RENFE in Spain, and with good service, similar that Swiss SBB/CFF. But services in local lines and branches are bad and infrequent, similar that RENFE and poorly in comparison with SBB.
Germany has double the tracklength and passenger count of France, maybe they do something right. I like the French trains very much, but respect to Germany's performance. But I think the Swiss system is best, most on time.
Seen some of the old delapidated trains from the rest of Europe. Covered in Graffiti. The private sector cannot afford this. Therefore I think our railway network in the UK is very good. And, there are plenty of people who would happily tell you that things were worse back in the days of British Rail.
William Connolly who cares all that can be solved I would prefer the graffiti on the trains for a better faster more on time service the money that gets wasted through private operations
Beautiful video greeting cards for great work like I support you for more new videos on your channel. Greetings from all over the heart and with respect to the CristiGoPro Channel
Im Dutch, The Netherlands is okay. Maybe 7th place best of Europe. Problem with The Netherlands is the density. All stations do have four trains per hour. The larger station 6/10 trains per hour. But if one train is delayed, the train network is confused. Future plans are 30 trains per hour, with automatic trains.
Železnice slovenskej republiky in Slovakia are the rail company and run the stations, but the trains are operated by ZSSK (Železničná spoločnosť Slovensko). PS: Im from Slovakia
I'll vote for Switzerland, they have remote towns in the mountains that have hourly train service to the rest of the network.

@@terrainaheadpullup3092 thats not all trains, thats just slow commuter trains and mountain trains like anywhere else in the world, switzerland also has fast trains between the cities and major towns in the flatter parts of the country but obviously in the mountains trains can not go as fast. the swiss have prioritised efficiency over speed which makes their system work, trains are to the minute on time and all mode of transports are integrated so that you can continue your journey quicker, in towns outside the main cities the train will pull into the station and all the local buses will be timed to arrive at the same time so everyone can change. rural communities are also incredibly well served with very frequent trains at all times of the day.
All this in comparison to the shambolic nature of the UK railways which are always late, expensive for a poor service with frequent delays, and an entire network that is not integrated well enough because of all the seperate companies, gradually since the beeching cuts as well rural service has become increasingly poor especially in the North of england and wales as well as rural scotland.
In switzerland the trains are pricey but the service is punctual, fast and works together with other modes of transport. in the uk trains are late, infrastructure is poorly maintained, and the rising ticket prices are inexcusable, the UK rail system is overall, shite.

Frecciarossa is better
@@MrItaliansound you are comparing a flagship high speed service to a intercity service which is way better
im italian and trust me:
1) we got our own regional train called Rock and Pop created by an italian team originally called Ansaldo now owned by Hitachi but nothing changed
2) we got only fast trains for long travels and slower for commute(Frecciabianca is almost death and only 2 Intercity available), our high speed use mostly only AC and tge rest CC... we mostly dont use an Eurocity so we dont create traffic to the commuters except in departures
3) we dont trust in nobody except ourselves, in Viareggio a german freight train rent derailed killing 32 people(families in their homes sleeping mostly) by an explosion of gpl due the not existent safety mesures of Germany(so actually no Siemens available for us, thankfully)...we forced Germany to stop this but outside the trains are far less safe, that's why mostly we delay
In terms of reliability, accessibility, quality and affordability Switzerland and the Netherlands are certainly the top two. After that we have most Western European countries and the Czech Republic and then the others. The only country that really stands out in a negative way is Albania.

Czech Republic - one of the highest railway densities in the world, there are (still used) train tracks everywhere. When a train is delayed connecting trains usually wait. On many routes they still use quite old rolling stock, with cabins and the best: windows which are able to open! Love that!
Fares are very cheap, on domestic sectors usually just a few Euros. The SC Pendolino (fastest train in the Czech Republic) is very comfortable and the fare in 2nd class includes water, newspapers and wifi.

Here in the Netherlands trains are a bit more expensive and don't go to all places, but all trains are quite recent build (oldest from the 1980s) and frequenty is crazy (Intercity every 10 min on some lines).
@@daanwillemsen223 But I see the main problem with the train which Henrik227 has chosen. With squealing brakes.

You forgot Luxembourg (train company: CFL). To me the best railways in Europe are the Swiss Railways, followed by the Austrian, German, Dutch, Belgian, British and Czech railways. One I don't like is the French one. They spend all of their money on the high speed network, while the regional trains suffer from bad service and poor maintenance of the infrastructure (for example, Railroad Crossing closing failures are quite common in France).

With the locomotive at the front and individual carriages at the back, instead of a fixed trainset, so the train capacity can be adjusted easily when demand is high. And I love it when it’s possible to open the windows and look out and breathe the fresh air and listen to the sound of the bumpy tracks :)

Been in Czech Republic several times and your trains ARE comfortable for the most part, and cheap at that.

Nice compilation, and comparison between each country. Personally i view the Eurasia rail system as whole system connecting villages with towns, towns with cites and country to country.

Although you did do a really nice video, I will have to say you misused some footage, particularly for Moldova. You could tell this because Moldova doesn't even have electrified railway, at all. What you filmed are Romanian trains. Ironically thou, at 27:35 you did film the train that connects Bucharest with Chisinau (capital of Moldova) and the blue wagons you could clearly see a different build configuration that resembles the Russian and Ukrainian wagons.

Acesta era comentariul pe care il cautam! Multumesc ca ai lamurit! 👏🏻
Mă pregăteam să comentez despre eroarea cu trenurile "moldovenești" și am dat peste comentariul tău.🙂
Personally I'd say the Netherlands, they have one of the most connected rail networks I've seen across Europa, from "Stoptreinen" (Trains that stop along every (if not most) stations along the route) to a High Speed rail line between The Hague and Eindhoven (this due to Rotterdam-Breda being a High Speed connection (excluding via Dordrecht here),
But the amount of trains you have in the Randstad Metropolitan Area is insane. Haarlem - Amsterdam is served with trains every 5 to 7 minutes, most lines with the most remote stops are served with 2 trains per hour at the minimum (excluding other operators like NMBS (who operates border stations Maastricht and Roosendaal with 1 train per hour).
I do admit, fares ARE expensive in the Netherlands (Which is not a problem if you're a frequent traveller with a subscription, which can go as low as 31 euro's per month for Unlimited weekend travel). And the SLT (Sprinter Light Train) are also a curse if you're a first class traveller, they don't offer any kind of sockets or wifi, nor toilets in most trains.
I'd say NMBS/SNCB does quite a good job too in Europe, but I can't say much good things apart from their VERY comfortable InterCity trains, they operate a lot of important lines with way too less trains, and they're too crowded often (Especially from De Panne to Gent, or Mechelen to Brussels). Most lines however only have 1 to 4 trains per hour, which is disappointing as it results in a VERY long transfer time (50 minutes for my usual transfer on Antwerpen Centraal (one of the largest stations!))... and delays are not uncommon at NMBS shall I say (they often are delayed 8-20 minutes.. after 20 minutes you have a high chance on your train being cancelled in the middle of nowhere, resulting in you being unable to catch your connection even with a long transfer time)
Many of you will not know that the UK rail system is in a little crisis,as the prices are too high and the system is not very reliable.
Same goes for Denmark to be honest. The State Railroads here are expensive, not on time and they've cut back so many of the services on board that it's simply not worth the price. It's so bad now the government is trying to promote intercity buses as the future. That is unless private companies start running intercity trains in Denmark like we see in Sweden with MTR, Snälltåget and Tågab.
I guess you didnt once tryed the German one, they get more and more billions of tax money and their service gets worse and worse, and prices are geting higher too.
now, it's not so bad at all. Booking early, you can get quite cheap Tickets, and 70% late does also mean 30% just in time. I, lucky as I am, get the 30%, mostly :-D

Several people now drive cars to work instead of riding trains, due to all the problems.

I live in Austria. We have a really great train system with nice trains, but traveling can be expensive. I can compare a view countries, but the country I experienced most is actually Italy. It was already menshioned, that there were shown only old fashioned trains fpr Italy, but I'm every year there and althought there are main diferences between North Italy and South, the Italian Train System has to offer more by far. The great modern High Speed trains are only one side of the medal, but also many other trains and locomotives which are made in Italy are unique pieces. I also apreciate the prices, they are really much lower than for example in Austria. The most important Stations like Rome or Milan, are offering great Italian architecture and inside there are shops with fashion, Italian Bars with great coffee and cakes or Pizza, supermarkets, restaurants, securities everywhere, it is actually the biggest train station I can remember, perhaps Paris is the same. One of the main attractions is of course the High Speed Train ITALO, it is made of recycling material and it is connected to High Speed Internet and Real Time Television, The highest Speed Trains are allowed to reach is about 300 km/h, also if they could reach about 400 km/h, but for security reasons it is not allowed, also because of the terrain. Comparison: From Rome to Milan it takes you about 3 hours with the High Speed Train against a normal Intercity 6 Hours. Last but not least Poland has a nice train manufacturer and very clean trains, some of the trains are made for export to other countries. France is one of the biggest High Speed train manufacturer for Europe, but of course there are some important companies in Germany which are also making high quality locomotives and trains. In Germany there is one great option, I didn't see in other countries I have been. If you buy a ticket for two you can take aditionally a third person which for example forgot her money at home. I haven't been to Germany for so long, but I also appreciate their train system. Czech train stations seem to be very dangerous, especially the little towns, the trains also are basicely old, but I appreciate the locomotives, which seem to work great. That's what I experienced on my own, thank's for reading!

Switzerland, and their reliability. There was an uproar a few years ago when SBB wanted to remove the 'second' hands from station clocks to save on repairs and costs. They still remain! That shows dedication. Here in the UK, a train can roll into a station 5 minutes behind schedule as still be 'on time'.
Germany is worth about on time. After a specific delay, trains are canceled and off time, so they do not appear in statistics as late...

I would have to say switzerland as a dutchie, very reliable and punctual. Netherlands would be in my top 5 as we have a very dense network. Sadly the NS mostly runs on the mainlines Wich leaves the rest of the rural and unelectrified lines to other transport companies
And?
"Best" is a subjective superlative. Before embarking on a comparison exercise, one must first define a set of criteria by which different railway systems are rated -- "comparing apples to apples". Some of those criteria may include geographic coverage, median speed, on-time record, average age of equipment, on-board facilities (hard products) and associated amenities, comfort, quality of service, etc. Off the top of my head based on my own experience, without having done any due-diligence analysis, I would vote for SBB/CFF/FFS (Switzerland), DB (Germany), and SNCF (France).
Further thoughts: 1) For domestic routes, total system length is a misleading metric; it must be "normalized" to take into account the size of a country -- for example, kilometers of tracks per square kilometer; 2) for international routes, appropriate metric(s) must be devised to reflect the extent of reach.

P.S. I'm American, and have traveled the US rail system from Chicago to San Francisco five times as a teenager. It used to be outstanding, but is now is 3rd rate.
In some parts of the US, passenger rail is almost nonexistent, and where it does exist it must usually share the rails with freight trains. Some large cities have commuter rail but few intercity trains. A hundred years ago in New England there were passenger trains everywhere, but now most of the rights-of-way have been given up. The automotive/oil interests put them out of business.
Axel Stabursvik, In the US, the various corporations that own most of the rails and rights-of-way can make money on hauling freight, but the subsidies and income from passenger trains is inadequate, so they do not make improvements for higher-speed use or for the added traffic on their limited facilities. We've spent billions on our Interstate highway system but virtually nothing on railroads. The auto and oil interests like it that way.
fan8281, certainly most US cities would benefit from an integrated rail/metro/tram system, but a couple of things make it difficult. While many European cities are compact area of high population surrounded by farm/forest/open land, we suffer from suburban sprawl. Our populations are spread out over a large area. Many European cities have upgraded preexisting rail and streetcar rights of way, but we've given up most of them, and acquiring new rights of way would be horrendously expensive. And in the US, people are still in love with their cars.
I've visited the UK several times and never had to rent a car. The Tube, rail and bus services will get you just about everywhere, and I'm envious.
fan8281 I liked your pun. In the US, taking land by eminent domain for a "social" interest isn't easy, especially when the land has been developed for housing, and it can be very costly. In the suburbs, many towns require a house to be on an acre or more of land, so there aren't many areas of contiguous undeveloped property. A hundred years ago there were railroads everywhere, but most of those corridors have become highways, hiking trails or housing developments - very shortsighted! There is not enough public sentiment yet to enact laws that will encourage these expensive eggs to be cracked!
High speed: I like Spanish high speed trains (AVE) they are ALWAYS on time and they have the highest average speed of all European trains.
Train system: Switzerland (SBB) they are comfortable and usually on time. I like ČD, NS and DB too.
I don’t like SNCF they are not good.
AlVeEs McNamara SNCF are not the best but DB is not much better. I would argue it’s actually worse.
ÖBB is best :)
Switzerland by far. Then a lot of nothing. Then The Netherlands. And then countries like Belgium, Denmark, Austria
24:00
Polish one is absolutely prefect.
First is says - Polish national railway - while showing local 'Lesser Poland' (Cracovian) regional railway
Next is proper EMU of PKP (Stadler FLIRT2 if i remember correctly)
Next still called polish is Czech Train (Ceskie Drahy on the side) in Vien Hbh XD
(I know we all want poland to anex all of Carpatia but pump the brakes a little)
I like the Hungarian Trains. But I´m from Hungary and I know that there are better Trains as that old Passenger (not the InterCity) There is a BR 185 too. But next time find a Clip from Keleti Station :) there are better trains
San Marino has by far the best rail network in Europe. Trains are never late, there are no incidents and best of all you dont have to pay for it.
It is ridiculous that the Polish railway shows show the most modern Czech locomotive and Hungarian wagons and pictures of Czech railways show the locomotive 25 years old and Slovak railways locomotives 50 years old :) The most modern Czech locomotives is more widespread in Poland than in the country of the producer and their brotherly country Slovakia?
This is how made misinformation :)
It is author's mistake. That's not promo video. If it would be PKP promo video there would be lots of Alstom Pendolino, Stadler Flirts, Pesa Darts, Newag Impuls and EU44 (Siemens ES64U) and maybe some vectrons. That doesn't mean we don't lease locos from CD, because we do, due to the engines shortages... Unfortunately
Thanks for this comparison/video, i very appreciate your effort!
The vids from Finland were filmed in my hometown, Hämeenlinna!
@ On Finnish part they also didnt show any Pendolinos, fastest trains. So yeah. Still this video was interesting to see nonetheless, i knew that economical big countries like north europe and west europe have good systems, but didnt really know anything about east european countries.
Mietinkin et miks tuo näytti niin pirun tutulta mut ei saanu mieleen, tosiaan vuoden siellä palvelin niin tullu kyseiseltä asemalta suharoitua ihan vaan muutaman kerran. :D Vieläkös se pitseria on toiminnassa siellä asemarakennuksessa?
Nice to hear!
1 Netherlands
2 Belgium
3 Germany
Belgium Train System is absolutely terrible.... Netherlands is very good indeed, but I think the Swiss train system is even better... Germany no way near top 5 lol
Trashest systems ever LOL lmao netherlands sucks indeed aswell does belguim
NL on 1? That's unless you need to travel from Delft to Eindhoven .. or from/to anywhere else. I think Switzerland will be number 1 and Czech republic would be pretty OK too.
In NL we have Intercitys on all routes every 30 min@@SnijtraM
Treinen in nederland... Niet dat die allemaal even goed zijn. vaak is het toilet defect, en met vaak bedoel ik bijna altijd
Interesting to see how many east European operators still use old Czech(oslovak) engines from 1960s and 1970s, made by Škoda and/or ČKD.
Yes,
Czechoslovakia rules the locos,
East Germany rules the coaches,
UdSSR and Hungary rule the multiple units.
20:34 that's not in Moldova that's in Romania because in Moldova there is no electrified rail
I noticed that as well
6:50 I’m a immigrant from the Czech Republic, also my home country
11:41 I rode with this type train on the Otopeni Airport Express in Bucharest!
Dont forget the world speed record for the France : 1955 = 331 kmh, 1981 = 380 kmh, 1990 = 515 kmh, 2007 = 574 kmh, actually the Japan hold the record at 600 kmh ! Please Europa make united !
China is trying to get 630 km/h
very niece video i traveling all Europe watching this video thanking you
im from Switzerland and trains here are clean they are faster than a car and train stations are clean, most importantly they are on time most of the time and train rides are relaxing even when its crowded
France has the fastest train connections, and Alsthom sells trains all around the world. We also hold the world record on rails :P
French SNCF tracks construction and maintenance on main lines are more good than in neighbours SNCB in Belgium and RENFE in Spain, and with good service, similar that Swiss SBB/CFF. But services in local lines and branches are bad and infrequent, similar that RENFE and poorly in comparison with SBB.
Japan... Maglev... 601km/h... cough cough
Germany has double the tracklength and passenger count of France, maybe they do something right. I like the French trains very much, but respect to Germany's performance. But I think the Swiss system is best, most on time.
@@barcelonian yes. Swiss is really good. The mountains we have here. And 1 once or even more per hour an Intercity between the 2 biggest cities
And SNCF are in massive debt.
20:43 is Romania not Moldova
CFM (Moldavian Railway) wasn”t videoat all
But Moldova is Romanian territory.
LUPU IRIMIE Yes, but CFR and CFM are two different sistems.
@@trainspotting6510 I know.
@@lupuirimie1704, no it is not. 2 separate, sovreign countries.
Well it certainly isn't Britain our once great railways are a joke .
we need br to take control with funding and power to rebuild our crumpling network it could be the best in the world so easily
@@bens1335 exactly
Seen some of the old delapidated trains from the rest of Europe. Covered in Graffiti. The private sector cannot afford this. Therefore I think our railway network in the UK is very good. And, there are plenty of people who would happily tell you that things were worse back in the days of British Rail.
Well at the moment whole Great Brittain seems to be 1 joke. I think the railnetwork is the least importent problem at the moment...
William Connolly who cares all that can be solved I would prefer the graffiti on the trains for a better faster more on time service the money that gets wasted through private operations
When you are Austrian and everybody is only speaking about Switzerland and Germany:
The best railwaysystem is Austria on 1,Switserland 0n 2, Netherlands on 3
The UK is the best now. With the Elizabeth Line completed and HS2 on track..the UK railway industry is transforming.
I love the train system in Spain because I live there
I loved traveling with RENFE. Very good and comfortable train system👍🏽
Very nice video ....... Best wishes for a happy, healthy and safe easter 2019.
21:50 Nice DDZ Double Decker Zone
Beautiful video greeting cards for great work like I support you for more new videos on your channel.
Greetings from all over the heart and with respect to the CristiGoPro Channel
1:14 sounds similar to the jubilee line on the London Underground
Im Dutch, The Netherlands is okay. Maybe 7th place best of Europe. Problem with The Netherlands is the density. All stations do have four trains per hour. The larger station 6/10 trains per hour. But if one train is delayed, the train network is confused.
Future plans are 30 trains per hour, with automatic trains.
Same in Germany too many places where trains have to stop.
Four to six trains per hour. And you complain???
1. French
2. Italian
3. Belgian
4. German
5. Spanish
6. UK's
7. Swiss
8. Austrian
9. Polish
10. Russian
How isn’t the Netherlands on there
The video showing the Polish train was not even recorded in Poland but in Austria and it's not a polish train but a Czech one.
@@Fajarunn So Cracow is in Austria? Good to know.
@@blady51797 haha you can clearly see the signs in german all over the Platform..
My bad, i didn't see the third video. Yeah, it aint polish at all. Sorry, man.
I think Austria, Switzerland and Netherlands are all pretty good systems any country would want to try and emulate.
Železnice slovenskej republiky in Slovakia are the rail company and run the stations, but the trains are operated by ZSSK (Železničná spoločnosť Slovensko).
PS: Im from Slovakia
