07:55 this glass can be turned "blurry" with the push of a button, then it looks like ground glass. So in case the driver values his privacy you might not be able to see through. Also if the "emergency" brakes are applied, the glass will turn blurry in order to prevent the passengers from seeing accidents etc.
Here's a video of a german kids show on how this works:)
ua-cam.com/video/ukxvg8wRKJg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=NilsMartin
it also blurrs in an emergency brake so the passengers don't see what's coming up
I forgot to mention that bit, thanks 🙏🏻
Algorithm comment: My most memorable ICE trip was Brussels-Köln-Frankfurt then Frankfurt-Nürnberg-München in January of 2012. Left Brussels Nord early, through the gorgeous Liege station and into Köln. My ICE paced a morning commuter out of Köln, always a treat to see. Had 20 minutes to change in Frankfurt, which didn’t seem enough but was in fact plenty. Went through the Spessart hills east of Aschaffenburg and came out to an almost-flooded Main river north of Würzbürg. Meandered down the valley to Kitzigen then started the high speed sprint to Nürnberg and München. Quite the trip through the January snow.
Wow and if you're into train simulators like myself you went on Koln Aachen and Main Spessart Bahn
Sounds like a nice adventure ☺️
Leipzig's station always blows me away when coming through, the sheer size of it is just crazy. The city tunnel stations are impressive too!
Absolutely 🤗
Had a great experience going from Berlin to Hamburg and back. Truly efficient and fast trains. Definitely inspiring.
From WC, I’d love to take a ICE train, especially a tilting train, but I haven’t been in Germany since 1964, USAF, and unfortunately probably won’t ever be able to go back, unless something like a miracle happens! I’d love to see the ICE 3 TD trains here since we have so little electricity powered trains! Some of the passenger trains I’ve seen videos of in South FLA look pretty good, but I still think the ICE trains are better looking! I’m glad to see these new trains here anyway! Good video!
Thanks William ☺️
That seemed like a nice route!!
I was really surprised the driver cabin's glass was transparent but as sb commented below, the driver can activate a "blurry mod" lol
Yeah, it's normally blurred when the driver is in there tbh
I took Dusseldorf-Frankfurt on ICE about two weeks ago and it was wonderful -- very smooth ride, comfortable seats, good wi-fi.
Have you taken the train that goes from Diakopto to Kalavryta in Greece? It's stunning! Btw love the intro song🤩
He didn't had the chance...
I haven't! Thanks 🙏🏻
1. The Reservation Fares are:
- 1 Seat = 4,90€
- 2-5 Seats 9,80€
2. In Advance, 2. Klasse (second class) seats can be booked for 17,90€ and on special occasions for only 12,90€
Once again nice trip report! 🤩
There's a tilting train in Kyushu, Japan called the 885 Series that takes its design cues from the ICE but incredibly only does 80mph!
I took an ICE in 2010 from Paris, Gare de l'Est, to Saarbrucken, Germany. Great Journey!!
Watching this from onboard the ic75100 ukiel pulling into Inowrclaw station, those tilting trains look amazing man, brilliant video as always
Thanks Dan 😀
Great report! You must have felt like you were the driver in that front seat. Nice view of the track ahead.
Thank you Max
😀💚
It was the rear cab, pay attention Scott 😉
@@NonstopEurotrip so sorry.
Great video !!
So beautiful colour of building
This is ohne of my favourite trains. 👍🚅 Great video 👍😁🦠
Thanks 🙏🏻
Again a great video, hug from Buenos Aires, Argentina 👍
Thanks 🙏🏻
Traveled from Frankfurt to Ingolstadt and also Ingolstadt to Frankfurt in June/July 2019. It was memorable. Beautiful countryside all along, after leaving the cities.
The only ICE route I've ever taken is the one between Brussels - Köln - Frankfurt. I absolutely loved the view when the train tracks ran along the river Rhine.
Yes, it's beautiful 🥰
I Went to a journey to Germany in 2018 trains route was From Frankfurt to Duisburg. The model of the train was ICE 3 and it was pretty well. I heard that there is a new payment system that you pay 4 Euro for normal ticket, it does not matter which vehicle you take. In 2018 i paid 10 Euro for business class. (i dont remember the price well, i was 9.)
This is a trip I've wanted to do since they were launched.
Very interesting video! Greetings from Latvia!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Nice video, thank you. A suggestion. What about making a video of the top 5 tilting trains? Keep up the good work🚂👍
Ooh good idea 🙂
The best one is the Class 390 Pendolino.
@@TheArkamedBat You've obviously not been on many of the others then...
@@NonstopEurotrip Ye. I only rode the two tilting trains in the UK (the Pendolinos and Avanti's Super Voyagers).
@@TheArkamedBat Tilting trains in Gotham City? That must be a joke😏
Thanks for the ride 🇺🇾
Lovely video.
Great video!!! And that train station magnificent it is not only ginormous but also beautiful and loved that rear cab view. It definitely gives you the unique view and you also get to observe the mechanics which is really amazing.
Thanks mate... Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
What a beautiful area!
Me gusta mucho este modelo de tren DB ICE - T es el tren de mi gusto ahora y siempre.
In seat front very fantastic this train and nice station German
Nice review. The 411/415s are my favourite trains. They have more than 32 units of the 411 though! 59 411s remain active.
You better change English Wikipedia then 😂
Amazing building at Leipzig!
Absolutely 🤗
I have never travelled on one of these services but it looks really great to me - especially your special First Class seat! These tilting trains give you the ICE experience without having to be on a high speed route. Thanks for the great review. PS. Have you replaced Patreon with UA-cam channel membership now?
Thanks Linda! Yes exactly, I scored the best seat 😆 And yes, the channel memberships are much easier to administer, being all in one place 🙂
2:20 A few decades ago, this model railways were in every bigger station in Germany
Took a trip from Vilseck to Neumünster last month which included being aboard an ICE from Nuremberg to Hamburg, first class all the way. First train was 45 minutes late and I missed connection in Nuremberg, the staff there were very friendly and efficient, had me on my way with new seat on the next train bound for Hamburg.
Standard DB 🤣
Great trip. ICE 3 still my favourite in ICE train's family. Sadly on this trip you got small amenities, and no food service at on board restaurant. Can't wait for your next trip in Southeast Asia.
It won't be too long 😁
12:03 On my ICE T trip. They served food between Frankfurt and Dortmund.
When i was in Germany last year in Berlin with my dad I was going to take the ICE 4 to München and the train was going to stop at Leipzig hbf and I saw the locomotive and when I was about to record it a Regio train the view. Was a sad about that but hopefully I will be able to see it again when I go to Germany, specifically Leipzig
It'll still be there 🙂
@@NonstopEurotrip 👍
I worked on these train as a Dutch technician for the Siemens company at the Siemens test facility Wildenrath in 1998. We did have a test train wich did a few thousand kilometers. It had no passenger seats ( a few for the test team ) with only the technical equipment on board at it's final destination. It was called " Train zero "; Zug Null. After the tests, this train got scrapped 😄. When the first ICE3 arrived at Wildenrath, i switched teams and did commissioning at the first N.S. and D.B. high speed trains.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Where do you get these prices from? All DB long distance train prices usually start at 17.90€ for Adults older than 26, and 12,90€ for everyone under that. At least that is what they advertise, and these are the prices I usually encounter if I'm booking in advance.
DB website for travel 1 month later
@@NonstopEurotrip Ah, okay, then these prices might be true. Most Supersaver tickets are gone by then probably
It’s been 13 years ago, the last traveling from Frankfurt -Leipzig- Dresden w/ ICE. Ich ❤️ sehr.. Liebe gruess aus New York!
If you are wondering where your ICE DB BR411/415 Started it's Dresden Hbf then Riesa Leipzig Hbf or straight from Rbf Leipzig Engelsdorf. Final Destination is Wiesbaden via Bebra Gerstungen and Frankfurt Flughafen. PIS at Leipzig Hbf displays it as ICE Erfurt Hanau Frankfurt Flughafen Wiesbaden. Locals between Leipzig and Dresden would have used the EUR 9 ticket on RE50 Saxonia Express using MDV VVO Fares.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Happily they did not make the space between the seats smaller in the redesign. Which means by now the ICE T is the ICE with the biggest leg room i guess (97 cm in second, 101 cm is first class)
That's good!
Thank you🙂
I’m sure Leipzig Hbf was much different prior to Reunification. It is quite impressive. And I was born in Frankfurt/Main.
Well ... no shopping center, that was added in 1997 I believe, no underground S-Bahn station of course, but 26 tracks instead of less than 20 actually remaining today.
Next to the "museum" track is a permanent exhibition with some information on the history of the station through the ages. Check it out next time you're here. 😊
The main building is the same... But the shops, well yeah...
I travelled through prior to reunification. I recall the restaurant looked like it was the set of a WWII film. All dark oak and furtive glances. And not a lot for a vegetarian!
@@warwickhowland5816 well ... the Starbucks which now occupies a former waiting hall still uses antique (looking) furniture. Makes for a really cool atmosphere... 😅🤷♂️
More vegan stuff though...
Well shot Train journey... I taken Thalys train from Brussels to Amsterdam. But, never got a chance to ride DB. Have to taken Thalys before?
Just did a video on it, check it out 🙂
@@NonstopEurotrip Sure.. will do.
I love travelling with DB always had a good experience with them even when things went a bit awry, just thinking if you’d recorded the whole journey going backwards from the cabin you could have played it back and got the train arriving in Leipzig, from the drivers cab I’ll get my coat, ps meant to say great post as ever really enjoyed the trip through Germany and all the times I’ve been there I’ve never visited Leipzig on my bucket list now my brother and nephew are going to Germany for a nostalgic trip around old haunts but alas when I went to get my passport it’s out of date, blinking covid I put it away and forgot about it
Thanks John! I'll make the next trip report in reverse for you 😜
Great video
Must be 1 million bugs killed on that train nose 😀
😂😂😂
awesome video! just what we like!
Love you ❤️😘
That’s a huge train station. You should name your channel nonstop trip.
😂😂😂
I did travel with DB to Munich on one occasion but normally when I have gone to Munich I have taken a plane.
Taken an ICE train to Berlin to Wolfsburg and back to watch football there, which were both on the original versions of the ICE.
Taken a newer ICE from Berlin to Cologne. Then, from Cologne to Brussels.
I have more ICE videos coming up soon!
It seems a very smooth ride although it is not an High Speed line.
Part of the video is a high-speed line
Great trip report
Thanks Luis 😀
I would like to see for instance the route Berlin lisboa or praha Roma using sleepers trains. I mean long route with sleepers.
I wish there was a Berlin Lisbon sleeper!
Coming in Germany 🇩🇪 cable car gives in willingen upland Germany nice video intercity express 👍 can you ride tram and bus frankfurt
Are you going to review the interrail ticket, especially if it was worth the money?
I actually do have something like that planned, but it's going to take a lot of work! So watch this space 🙂
Another great video, keep them coming 🚆 🚉 🚄
Will do 🙂
the station looks a lot like the central station of Milan, from the entrance, to the ceilings
Same era 🙂
0:46 lol, did that woman just make a little loop around the fountain?
😂😂😂
ICE was the first European high-speed train that I have taken (Lüneburg to München) and I was quite disappointed with the almost 7-hour ride. Legroom is less than decent (I'm 180 cm or 5'11), the air-conditioning was poor during a hot summer,and the train stopped twice due to some technical issues further delaying my quite long journey. I had better experiences with TGV, Railjet, and some regular IC's.
However, it might be a one-off event and I would like to give it another chance next time I visit Germany. It's quite a pity considering that it looks so cool from the outside
I know they have their problems, but can't say I've experienced any of them except some short delays 🤷🏻♂️
I called it ice once, that was a mistake, it's I C E ! 🤣
I refuse to. It's an ICE 😉
Game: Wow Nice DB
Real Germany Train: Arrives 120 minutes late
😂😂😂
Germany does has the most incredible trains especially the tilting high speed trains that reaches up to 300km/h (180mph).
These only go up to 230kmh
@@NonstopEurotrip Ah right. Thanks for letting me know 👍
Appreciate the compliment but as he said, those "only" do 230kph.
The really fast ones don't tilt. They are designed for true high speed lines that don't require tilting. The slower ones are mostly used on existing/upgraded lines which still have their original tight curves.
Just a small mistake! At 14:15 is the Station Steinau an der Straße.
Thanks. I couldn't quite work it out, so took an educated guess 😂
12:00 They do not serve food since it is just a „Bordbistro“ and not a „Bordrestaurant“ like in the ICE 4, so it comes with self service
They normally serve food.
Both the ICE-T and the ICE 4 have a Bordrestaurant, just the ICE 3 didn't have one before the redesign
There was an problem on the video.
And here's the problem:
Why didn't Trivago sponsored this video?
18:14 Video's score: 12/10
They haven't asked me yet 😅
What is the "tilting" function?
Tilting means the train could remain its speed while driving through winding stretches
It's a train shaped like a bullet that can run at high speed, just like Japan's Shinkansen.
Absolutely 🤗
It's not using the tilting function anywhere on that route.
Actually it does, there are quite a few sections where GNT is in operation (all routes are approximate, it's a little shorter or longer but these are the main points): Eisenach - Gerstungen, Bebra - Fulda, Flieden - Gelnhausen, Hanau - Frankfurt.
ICE-T funny pun. Of course the German conductors don’t like it if you say ICE in English, you have say Eee Say Aaay.
It'll always be Ice to me 😉
😀👍
I thought ICE T was a rapper 🤣
😅😅😅
Another well built EMU. Not exactly exciting - modern trains are all just a bit dull IMHO... Nice to see some seat padding unlike the UK's ironing board seats...
Nice toilets too...
It's not really a modern train anymore. The first sets were built in 1999
I guess passengers block the aisles with luggage everywhere in the world.
Yeah 😂
I thought Germany had switched to leather seats in high speed trains.
The newer ones, yes.
With a sponsor like that you should definitely review at least 1 (one) Lithuanian Railways train (the Pesa 730ML would be my suggestion) 🐸
Maybe! 🙏🏻
You can buy 9€ ticket 🎟 and you can go all Germany 🇩🇪 regional trains ; bus;trams ........
Not for this train...
@@NonstopEurotrip I now popular train re and rb now in Germany 🇩🇪
Skip da ad 4:06
Hi. I was so impressed until you said there was no catering available. A bag of Haribo and a wet wipe!! What a joke. What happened to Germany's efficiency - late to start and late to arrive (not that I know anything about the UK's timekeeping)?
This is very on-time for DB 🙂
@@NonstopEurotrip Oh, that did make me larf!
nice video but POOR SERVICE in first class (?)
Doesn't cost that much more tho...
Deutsche class 390？
😂😂😂
"kmh"? Really? Is it so hard to write km/h correctly?
?
4:27 instead of "mph" try to write mh or mihr or mi/h or m/h or mphr or whatever comes to your mind, and you'll see how it looks to the whole world when you write "km/h" incorrectly.
