Majorca island had a consistent railway network. However, when the State-owned company FEVE took over them, they did nothing but close all the branches nationwide instead of boost and improve their working conditions, with the exception of Asturias, who saw a massive investment during the 80s and 90s, right after the rest of the country lost all their narrow-gauge rail connections. In the case of Majorca, all the lines but the main branch Palma - Inca were taken out of service, however, once the Regional company SFM was created, the whole network was upgraded and electrified, plus re-opening previosly closed lines by FEVE. Hence the trains and tracks are so well maintaned. Thanks for the video!!
Thank you for this morning's (here in San Diego, CA USA) fun run. I throughly enjoyed it! I hope one day I may visit Mallorca and your video increase my desire. Though the trains could do with a wash on the outside, as a disabled individual I really appreciate the fact the trains look very accessible.
Thanks for the great video. I watch a lot of travel videos and have never seen one covering the interior of Mallorca by train. Interesting scenery and enjoyable trip to watch.
Mallorca is gorgeous 😍💎 I’ve wanted to see it for a long time. This is the best option in the lockdowns and I’m grateful to you for the wonderful trip report. It prepares me for my trip in the future hopefully! 🙏 Thank you again! ☺️
Great video! To this day, I didn't know that there is a rail network in Mallorca. It reminds me a lot of S-Bahn trains. Greetings from locked Prague! :-D
Bummer the Ferrocaril de Sollér wasn’t running, because that train really is awesome! You really have to go back again for it. Been there last summer, one of the best memories from 2020. :)
Agree entirely……..great shame.The train to Soller is the highlight of train travel in Mallorca. Last time I travelled that line was in 1981, so delighted to know it’s still open (when the repair work is completed)
An excellent video. I have just read in the local paper that work will begin next year on reinstating the line from Manacor to Arta that closed in 1977.
I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Those trains are really slic. Really nice interior. Majorca looks a beautiful island from what I've seen through the Majorca Files :-)
Such a clean quiet modern electric rail service, more places could use that to relieve highway congestion. I liked the video format with walk-throughs and concise explanatory captions, no narration, just ambient sounds.
Thank you, nonstop eurotrip! So, I don't know if the words are enough to describe for my emotion. But I LOVED it! Mission accomplished brilliantly, chef! First star to you! Not a minute too much or less in your video. A train that looks like a metro in addition to faster, for that the train is quite slow. No restroom but short trip so OK. Very affordable price !!!

You had a great time in Mallorca, you !!! When we visit a city, we always take the trains. So, for the tennis player, I only knew it since last week following your video, I had to learn about Mallorca and I found the information. You are great in your videos. Great chef with chef hat!

curious fact I don't remember which line I was on but between llubi and wall or between sineu and petra there is a station called sant joan, abandoned or without service
The form of the mainline trains remind me a little bit of the Dutch SLT trains that was a great video I hope you come back again to Majorca and do the metro lines
Muchísimas gracias por hacer este magnífico vídeo tienes mi like 👍😃, mea encantado y además gracias ati e podido ver un poco más en detalle cómo es el ferrocarril de palma de Mallorca ya que yo soy de Barcelona y nunca e ido a esta isla así que muchísimas gracias!, saludos
I welcomed the news, that there is actually train network on this island. That is very good added value to the infrastructure. I can't wait to visit Mallorca and use the trains to go around. Hopefully they will reach Alcudia soon. In that way we could travel from coast to coast.
On the German Wikipedia page it actually said the company was deeply in debt and all contruction is suspended because of that. Also, the company seems to be operating at a loss according to Wikipedia.
@@sebastiankutter3630 That is very sad! Hopefully they will get back on track, as many public transport companies have difficulties, due to "working from home" or lack of tourism.
@@filip78channel15 actually the biggest issue is that people compare the prices of train travel to prices of buses or planes... both of which don't need to pay for every km/mi traveled. So it's really not a fair comparison
Nice video, only found as I just made a similar trip myself! Trains are a bit dirtier now, and no headrest coverings any more. Metro M2 is largely removed, with all mainline trains serving the suburban stations. Thanks!
Travelled to Manacor a few years back when you had to change trains at Enllaç for a diesel service to Manacor. Left my hat on the first train. On the return journey they switched off the engine for the downhill journey into Sineu. Hopefully they'll reopen the line all the way to Alta one day...
@@NonstopEurotrip When we got back to Palma, I saw the unit in the station so walked up to the correct carriage, I could see through the window that the hat was still there. At that moment, doors closed and the empty train left, presumably to the depot... Or to put it another way, no! 🤣

The train's sound is weird, it's like *screech intensifies* 😂😂😂😂 I would love to ride in this trains but I've never been to Mallorca despite living near it (I'm Valencian). Great video!!
Thanks! You should do it! I flew from my friend's house in Valencia then got the ferry back for a change, video on that coming up soon! Greetings amigo 🇪🇦
Wow I did not know mallorca had trains this is very great à narrow gauge metro/suburban rail system it must have been fun to do all those lines also it helps the local communities on the island who are served by the train get to work, school and other things
5:09 - this diagram caught my interest. It shows that at the time, all the regional “T trains” ran nonstop through to Marratxí, while the M2 covered the intermediate stops. But looking at the timetable now, the M2 is apparently gone completely, and all T trains (except for some 5 trans a day each way on the T2) now stop at those intermediate stations instead. Does anyone know why it was withdrawn? What’s even stranger is that in summer 2022, the M2 did run, but only once an hour (not exactly a Metro frequency is it?), which is down from the 20-minute intervals that Wikipedia claims, while only the T3 ran nonstop to Marratxí, and only on weekdays. (Also the T3 doesn’t stop at Enllaç… which is weird because it was built precisely for the sole purpose of being an interchange between T2 and T3. “Enllaç” literally means “junction” in Mallorquí/Catalan. Not sure if T3 trains stopped there back then or if the diagram is inaccurate but just an additional note)
Interesting video. You should try the Alacant Tram system if you get a chance. There's a nice section running along the Playa de San Juan and if you continue far enough north you have to change onto a DMU at Benidorm.
5:16 The Enllaç station is only served currently by the T2 and the T1 and T2 are stopping at the Metro stations,only the T3 to Manacor do not stop at these station The T1 is also served sometimes by the Metro trains 11:05 The sound is perfect but the train drivers are often rude against Trainspotters
You must do it again beacuse there is a new train and station edit: at the m1 line, the extension to Parc bit will be opened at early 2025, and the tunnel (UIB-Parc Bit) will have incredible lights, so go check out the m1 subway line
Bon vídeo, som de Mallorca i crec q està bé per veure la part de l'interior, una Mallorca molt diferent a la turística de la costa. Et vas deixar de visitar la línea de tren fins a l'UIB q el primer tram és metro i el tren de Sóller, un viatge al passat. Aquest si que es lent.
Very nice video and all your videos are sprinkled with great info 👍 ......by the way between 15:00 and 16:00 mins into your video I was hearing some one speaking in the background... I mistook it for somebody standing on the street and talking on phone outside my house...as I was watching your video in TV ... I paused and went out to check from the window but there were none then I realised it was from your video... you may have been intrigued on this note ... because that conversation was in Tamil language spoken in my place Chennai Tamilnadu...southern India..... Then I realised that some one from this part has been doing something there in the far away Mallorca 😬🤪
I am wondering that there are electric trains on Mallorca. I travelled each Year to mallorca until 2015 and i have seen only diesel trains. The electric trains must be very new.
Indeed the trains on Mallorca re quite good! I did the trip to Manacor three years ago, when the line between Enlac and Manacor wasn't electrified yet and one had to change the train in Enlac. Do the trains even stop there rigth now? As far as I remeber there is not much to do in that "town" which rather looked like a few farms, than an actuall village. However it is a huge shame that they destroyed the old line to Santanyi when they build the new airport, beacuse "the rail was in the way" - come on, you guys killed the best option to get the airport connected to the city :(
