What's hilarious about the Poznan's train station is that it was voted by architects as the most beautiful train station in all of Poland back in 2018 for ''bold design ,suited for modern needs'. Well that aged well.
Thanks for the video! Indonesian here. We have a rooted culture of private motor vehicles (common in developing countries, our management and infrastructure for the most part isn't that good enough to handle managing complex transit systems yet) and recently there have been a rising number of reports on private vehicles forcing their way through level crossings and crashing trains. I personally ADORE trams and what they signify, but I'm quite concerned about how they interact with our people here. I've been to Surakarta, the track on which the new tram is running has been there for years and is still in use by diesel units, but there are some cases where people's cars are still parked on the rails 😅😅and as an added note, the track that runs in the city isn't that long (I think it was 5km-ish) is single-track and only serves 2 stations before continuing into the countryside. I do hope the existence of the trams will help kickstart further development of rail-based transit, I do believe we are in dire need of it, and I just hope that us Indonesians can also adapt to giving the right-of-way to transit.
it is more of an interurban than a town tramway system judging from what I've heard; the trains are more similar to typical tram-trains, too. They reminded me even a bit of the Szeged-Hódmezővásárhely Tram-trains
@@AllahDeineMutter Yes that's true, coincidentally I used to live around the Szeged area and took that tramtrain too lmao. I'd say the Surakarta line is a more concise version of it (and far less frequent).
The battery tram will not used for regular service. It's now belong to INKA as an experiment vehicle especially with the battery technology. It does though have a history. The tram was initially built for LRV prototype that will used in Palembang LRT, but INKA decided to buy pre-fabricated train body from China and not using the prototype model that already built. Then they decided to make experimental battery tram and using the former LRV prototype to become what we know as the battery tram. INKA them self was once buil a tram prototype that was planned for used in Universitas Indonesia in Depok, but the plan to built the tram on there is canceled and the tram prototype body used as bus shelter in Madiun city.
@@rakandzakwan6402 ahh right, now that you mention it I do remember it being recalled recently after test drives. I still do hope this will eventually turn into something though!! (probably won't but no fault in being hopeful 😂😂 maybe we'll revive the 20th century era tram network someday 😆)
Nice to hear from Peru here! The caltrain trains are actually gonna be used to reinstate commuter service on a legacy railway that is only used for freight at the time. Although everything is still unclear since that railway is single track and wouldn't be able to sustain high frequencies. Also, on monday the government presented the projects for lines 3 and 4 of the metro, would be nice if you talked about those!
Some commuter services in North America have multiple trains going from the suburbs to the city in the morning and those same trains going from the city to the suburbs in the afternoon and evening with no other commuter service (no service around noon or at night and no trains going out of the city in the morning or into the city in the afternoon). While far from ideal this could be one possible scenario since they will have many relatively cheap trains and only single track. It would allow freight to move in the same direction as the commuter trains and in any direction midday or at night.
@@firstlast1932 Yeah that's exactly what they are proposing for now. Like you said it's far from ideal and the impact these trains would have would be very limited. The guy who runs the company that operates the right of way said they were hoping to move 15000 people daily with that configuration, having 6 trains go downtown in the morning and returning in the afternoon. The travel demand on that corridor is probably over half a million people a day though. They are making plans to build a second track but we'll see how it goes.
@@alejo3781 Well, it's something, hopefully it's a start. The extra track would be helpful to send more trains in either direction and to allow all day service.
I am writing as someone living in Turkey, there are two names, 'Sakarya' and 'Adapazarı', Istanbul Haydarpaşa (Asian side) train station was closed in 2012 and is still closed , It was closed due to high speed train works. The line is now open. High speed train is coming until 'Sakarya Arife'. Adapazarı Arifiye branch line was empty, so the train was opened 8 years ago , People wanted the ada express, it came back but with restrictions , They turned that branch line into shit and are opening the train line again.
Extra bit of news for you: South Western Railway in the UK have officially launched the roll out of their 90 Arterio (Alstom class 701) trains. Originally planned for introduction in 2019, they suffered numerous delays for multiple reasons (several faults, union disputes and the pandemic), but they are now starting them properly in service and expect them to roll out over the next 12-18 months, replacing the old class 455s.
Great video as usual and thanks for sharing your experience in Poznan train station. I wanted to share with you that the Indonesian city of Medan has launched 60 new electric buses. If you want I can find more information (which are all in Indonesian lol)
Great Western Railway could do with new Stadler FLIRT or CAF Civity trains to replace the older diesel trains that are currently being used across Southwest England and the West of England.
Tallinn just opened a new section of tram line to the old harbour, hope to hear about it next time :) also interesting spelling of Sõpruse puiestee in this video but all good
Platform numbers (for the physical stucture, not the track as in the UK) should be forbidden. They are not needed if you have the track number, so it is just confusing.

You missed thessaloniki metro and riyadh metro openings
8:25 - Poznań has introduced “normal” track numbering 2 years ago.
Oh, that's good!
Without platform numbers?
@@oskarsrode2167 Platforms has been renumered too.
Yet it's still a bit confusing !
I was about to say, surely you just need to renumber the platforms properly, and that would solve a lot of the problems!
For some reason Manila was overlooked, even when a new railway extension was inaugurated.
But thank you for these transit updates!!

Thank you for weekly review!😊
Thessaloniki Metro?
That's for the next time
750 New EMUs for Ireland is massiv. Despite only 150 arriving in the first batch.
Yup, I even thought isn't it too much? :)

Yay ❤

Hi, they are developing a huge metro system in Vietnam. I think it could be interesting for your channel to cover this transformation
All Railway Lines should be 1.Broad Gauge 2.Quadruple 3.Electric 4.Covered.
Tallinn just opened a new section of tram line to the old harbour, hope to hear about it next time :) also interesting spelling of Sõpruse puiestee in this video but all good
Thanks, I'll try to cover the tram next week
As for the pronunciation, it's quite difficult to pronounce it correctly in all languages :)
@cityforall Yeah it doesn't bother me, just chuckled a tad

Put some videos in that, your watch number will quickly increase.
Unfortunately it doesn't work that straightforward
