I developed some sort of fanatism for Thalys numbers. I loved Thalys trains since I was a very small boy, I just recently found a picture of a very young me standing next to 4306 now that I’m a train driver myself, working in Cologne, I came across exactly that set. Amazing to see that these are still in Service. 4332 is another one of my favourite sets, as I traveled on it to Paris. Thalys is an amazing brand. Would love to see a Thalys duplex one day.
Super. Thanks, it reminds me my travel Brussel-Paris-Brussel in 2018. As for the autor, I will never get tired of train travel but, here in Canada, we are still in the stone age when talking of trains.
Free or nearly free travel with one of his family members working at SNCF. Someone working for the railways gets free train travel for him, his partner and kids. Thalys here will be around 10€ to 20€ for Paris-Brussels.
I've found this channel because if the IZY Trip Report and I love it! Sometimes some of the comments on the trip have poor grammar, not a problem for me but might catch the eye for someone. Keep up the good work!
@@hoof2001 No sorry. He is correct and I comment as a native speaker who currently teaches English as a foreign language. It is “some of the comments...HAVE poor grammar”.
Thank you so much for this video! I hope to travel is one of these trains soon! I loved your video, for a minute I thought I was watching a videogame, so cool :)
J'adore tes vidéos car j'adore le monde des train et vu que ont à pas l'occasion de voyager tout les jours en train tes vidéos sont comme des mini voyages
I'm going to Europe for the 1st time ever, and I'll be by myself too. I'm so nervous. I'll be going the opposite way though. Brussels to Paris. Thank you for this insight on Thalys.
Haha I am a foreigner and when I stepped out of the station, the first thing I saw was a person spitting on a policeman. But I still felt in love with Paris, its definetely one of my favorite citys.
ICE trains are much better than Thalys/TGV. On Brussels-Cologne and France-Germany (via Paris Est-Strasbourg), ICE clearly is the better choice. Coaches are not that narrow, seats are wider, restaurant car is better and cheaper and they are much cleaner.
One technical question: when the train exits the high speed line in Brussels, does it switch from 25 kV to 3 kV (which would make sense, since the tracks become shared with all types of trains near and at the station), or does it remain on 25 kV catenary?
At the beginning of the video you said the main stock is the same as the TGV Réseau, but this isn't true. Thalys tries to use the PBKA trainsets as much as they can, but they sadly dont have the budget to buy more of them, which is why you sadly still see a lot of Réseau-style sets on their routes.
Your reviews are really nice! And this channel is absolutely great! You have a new subscriber!... Why don't you come to Italy to try the frecciarossa or Italo?
But Air France take it off the Brussels-Paris plane route, and insetad they put this train with a flight code conseidering that many people used it. They still having a flight route between this two cities?
C'est vrai que la 2nde classe en thalys est vraiment top, peu de différence avec la première ! En tous cas très sympa ces vidéos mais parfois certaines séquences sont un peu courtes (peu de temps notamment pour lire le texte et regarder la vidéo en même temps) ;)
Je prend Thalys chaque mois entre Anvers et Paris. Difficile de trouver des prix correct... 3 Mois avant, avoir en dessous de 60 euros l'aller, un peu hard. Ca fait vite cher pour chaque mois :p Mais bon. Ca reste confortable et rapide. Vivement la nouvelle rénovation !, et ayant pu faire une fois la premium, ça vaut le coup ! collation, repas, et services au top ! Pk pas la même chose pour nos TGV... Bref, toujours sympa vos vidéos en tout cas !

Haha je peux pas croire que j'ai eu droit à une petite dédicace ! ^^ hater le mot est un peu fort mais c'est vrai que j'aime pas cette équipe de GSW... Allez je te le dis mon équipe c'est OKC ! ;) Sinon en effet je suis d'accord avec toi c'est la meilleure deuxième classe qu'il y ait elle est magnifique. Salut
"dear travellers, welcome aboard. For the sake of everyone's comfort, we invite you to use your telephone on the platforms located at the entrance to each car" I don't get it, is there a restriction where I shouldn't use my phone?
Excellent video… one point: the entrance at the begining of the video is not the new main entrance for Long distance but for suburbs… (Transilien and RER). the Whole Station experience will change soon as they will reconfigure the entire station for olympics 2024
0:30 Don’t worry, many tourists will not see this when arriving at Gare du Nord. They only see a lot of graffiti when their train runs through the suburbs and then the long lines at the ticket machines for the Métro. 😉 Their first glimpse of the city is when they get out near their hotel. I must agree that Thalys offers a great product. The trains are a bit worn though. When I compare them to the Eurostar e320 and freshly refurbished e300 trains, I like the Eurostars better.

Ahah, je n'ai pas toujours la haine, il y a pleins de choses sur lesquelles je suis 100% d'accord comme le Wifi, le service client à bord etc... Mais je trouve que leur com est à chier, et font un peu n'importe quoi sur le service client (Acceuil en gare) c'est un peu du maquillage pour moi rien d'autre
That was a nice trip report. But at 1:41 you said: this is a real customers services when you should of said: this is a real customer service. That is a nice video but just pay a bit more attention to your grammar.

Great, you a really wonderful video, you feel like having to ride on this train.
I developed some sort of fanatism for Thalys numbers.

Don't feel bad about being in the stone age. The USA is in the cave age.
I travelled on Thalys last summer and loved the journey. Thanks for bring back some great memories.
I found this channel 2 days ago. 1 word: AWESOME! I love your channel! Watched like 10 of your video's already :P
This train is so nice; I think it is the best you have reviewed. The red color, and that bag of yours in bright red. perfect
Im bingewatching your vids man, would be nice if you included your ticket price so we can compare
Free or nearly free travel with one of his family members working at SNCF.

Thalys here will be around 10€ to 20€ for Paris-Brussels.
I absolutely love the look of that train inside, and it seems like a really well thought out product/service too

Has; it is “has poor grammar”. Please do not comment on grammar where yours is appalling. Go well. :)
@@hoof2001 No sorry. He is correct and I comment as a native speaker who currently teaches English as a foreign language. It is “some of the comments...HAVE poor grammar”.
This is getting me hyped for my trip to Belgium coming up, can't wait to visit my friends over there again ^^
Thank you so much for this video! I hope to travel is one of these trains soon! I loved your video, for a minute I thought I was watching a videogame, so cool :)

Thanks for the video mate. I will be taking this route in October. Cheers from India.
Nice trip report. You should try DB next time :) Thalys is my favourite company too.
RegioDB is much better than French regional trains 😅
I'm going to Europe for the 1st time ever, and I'll be by myself too. I'm so nervous. I'll be going the opposite way though. Brussels to Paris. Thank you for this insight on Thalys.
Beautiful! Hopefully they will not scrap the single level trainsets! Very nice trip report as always!
Je trouve ta vidéo tellement passionnant ca me donne envie de le prendre le thalys.
3:59, I can relate lol. Having the only pair of glasses that you own, break, is devastating.
😂 I haven't seen :)
This is the best train review channel ever never have I come across a channel so good next you should try Ireland the trains are Okay
Finally made it on the Thalys! Hope you enjoyed your trip 😁 Sorry to hear your brother was on the Thalys during the attacks.
Thalys do seem like a good train operator
Yesterday First time travelling with the Thalys back from Paris to Aachen. Perfect Train , come Back to Paris with Thalys in June 😀😀👍
J'ai été dans le Thalys, et franchement... 😍😍😍
Can you make one of Spanish's Trenhotel please? Funny thing: I'm from Spain and I want a review of a train of my country 😂
I'll make a trip report in May but not with trenhotel, you'll have to wait :)
@@SimplyRailway oh, it's ok. I was just hoping for you to review an Spanish train. No worries
Magnifique pour une seconde classe !!!
Haha I am a foreigner and when I stepped out of the station, the first thing I saw was a person spitting on a policeman. But I still felt in love with Paris, its definetely one of my favorite citys.
Yes, the exit of Gare du Nord isn't the best representation of Paris
Excellent trip report sir !!! Looks pretty good " Thalys" Just have got book ahead...
Thank you for sharing !!! :):):)
Oh i never tried thalys. Will go now definelty but u should make a review on the ICE DB trains. They look modern and comfy
ICE trains are much better than Thalys/TGV. On Brussels-Cologne and France-Germany (via Paris Est-Strasbourg), ICE clearly is the better choice. Coaches are not that narrow, seats are wider, restaurant car is better and cheaper and they are much cleaner.
@@lausimeyer6558 yes i did travel from paris to frankfurt on train and its pretty good
Super j'ai adoré 😍👍

that was a great train we are well behind😀😀
Nice reviews, hope you'll do more belgian trains or ask us to do so?

Wow !! Awsome trip in a comfy class ;-)
This train does 300 km per hour. Does Paris cdg to bruxelles go faster
All in all it’s a very good tripreport!
Somtimes you forget the 3rd person s in the English language.
1:45 une des rares fois où @SimplyRailway parle dans ses vidéo et en français en plus !
Lorsque tu arrive arrive dans le long virage à bruxelle ,Moi quand je le prenais j'étais toujours dans le premier train du coup on avait une belle vue
Est ce qu'il est prévu que tu essaye un jour l'Eurostar?
Is it possible to choose a specific seat (i.e. forward facing, window) in Thalys?
Another great video 😎
Petite question: Dans quelles langues les communiqués au bord du train sont-ils donnés ? Merci de répondre.
Francais et néerlandais :)
@@SimplyRailway Merci. Donc sans anglais, c'est remarquable. Peut-être à cause du brexit :-)
can i use Thayls from Paris CGA to Brussels Midi? where should i go? is it in terminal 2 or? thank you
Enjoyed watching this video
Wait, we just booked a Thalys ticket, the ticket said: Class 1. I’m confused 😂 What is included with class 1 and what isn’t included? 😂

Allez je te le dis mon équipe c'est OKC ! ;) Sinon en effet je suis d'accord avec toi c'est la meilleure deuxième classe qu'il y ait elle est magnifique. Salut
J'aurais aimé prendre thalys pour mes voyages mais il n'y à aucun service proposé à strasbourg c'est dommage 😢😢
where to book this paris to train trip and how much it cost?
How much was the ticket
Est-ce que tu vas essayer l'intercité Benelux Brussels-Amsterdam via Breda?
C'est prévu
@@SimplyRailway
Yes
8:45 it’s called Brussels midi
3 euros 20 for M&M's? How big a bag do you get ? €2.10 for a croissant doesn't seem bad , I suppose
Hello I have a question. Can you choose your seat or not?
I think yes, just ask to
iam going from paris to brusseles midi soon, may i ask u how can i go to the grand palace ? do i have to catch another train to brusseles central ?
You have to change and take a train bound north to Brussels almost all trains stop there
@@SimplyRailway thank you for the information i will !
"dear travellers, welcome aboard. For the sake of everyone's comfort, we invite you to use your telephone on the platforms located at the entrance to each car" I don't get it, is there a restriction where I shouldn't use my phone?
A question: do you get an assigned seat or can you chose your own seat??
Nope assigned seat
Excellent video… one point: the entrance at the begining of the video is not the new main entrance for Long distance but for suburbs… (Transilien and RER). the Whole Station experience will change soon as they will reconfigure the entire station for olympics 2024

I must agree that Thalys offers a great product. The trains are a bit worn though. When I compare them to the Eurostar e320 and freshly refurbished e300 trains, I like the Eurostars better.
Agree....
ya gotta spring for a new pair of jeans!
The station is the business card of a city....
2:55 Best thing: no window for a windowseat
Ugh I'm getting triggered because I CAN NOT wrap my head around this.
So let me get this straight.
the RAIL OPERATOR (not the train manufacturer) is SNCF?
and then TGV is the line name?
And If so then who is the train manufacturer? I mean, i don't even know who made the Eurostar classes.
Or to just make my question easier:
Who built the TGV trains and what are they even called .-.
The name of the train manufacturer is Alstom.
You’ve clearly worn out the knees of your jeans because of the cramped seats 😄
I notice they offer the Ryanair app on their wi fi :P
The best second class is etr500 frecciarossa (the old one)
I got confused when he walked in 2nd class I thought it was 1rst class
Багажное отделение маловато
PBKA pas POS (le pbka étant en avance sur son temps). Super quans même
Très très très proche quand meme
Like!
Жагажное отделение маловато
Tu parles français ?
Oui
Te vidéo ces les meilleurs continue
thalys service is good
Super vidéo, ça me fait voyager virtuellement. Cependant il faudrait m'expliquer cette haine envers InOui
Ahah, je n'ai pas toujours la haine, il y a pleins de choses sur lesquelles je suis 100% d'accord comme le Wifi, le service client à bord etc... Mais je trouve que leur com est à chier, et font un peu n'importe quoi sur le service client (Acceuil en gare) c'est un peu du maquillage pour moi rien d'autre
J'imagine pas la 1ere classe
Sympa la vidéo :) si tu veux j'ai poster mon premier Trip report en OUIGO sur ma chaine..si tu pouvais me donner ton avis =)
Wesh ma couille
Ah oui et en Premium il y a un lounge a Paris,Bruxelles,Cologne,Dusseldorf

Hello
Ну и джинсы-все лытки наруже
Italian high speed trains are more confortable and beautiful
That was a nice trip report. But at 1:41 you said: this is a real customers services when you should of said: this is a real customer service. That is a nice video but just pay a bit more attention to your grammar.
CLICKBAIT, no way that is second class!
The Swiss trains are miles ahead than the rest of Europe’s trains
