Love the Thalys trains and routes. One stop you speak Dutch/Flemish, then French and eventually German! Can't wait for this COVID crap to be over so I can return to Europe.
The new refurbished Thalys trains are gonna be awesome. I only wish they had doubledeckers like the TGV Duplex too.. I think the red livery would look absolutely beautiful on them.
I used Thalys to come from Amsterdam to Paris in 29 August, 2007 with my family. It was a great experience as I got first class tick in a very cheap price (39 Euro)
Beautiful station but when you go out, it feels like you are in the middle an abandonned neighborhood, i will never understand the disastrous urban planing in most Belgian cities... :/ Which is sad because Liège has a lot to offer !
It's a gorgeous modern station. It lacks the charm of older stations but it's undeniably impressive and shows what can be done when architecture is done right. It's a shame about the location as the neighborhood is rather dodgy and it doesn't give the best impression of Liège which is a really underrated city. It's a bit like Paris Gare du Nord. A beautiful station but with some shady characters just outside
Thalys will terminate it's services, all Thalys routes and trains will be transfered to Eurostar in two or three years. Information already confirmed by the Thalys Spokesperson. Sources; Belgian online newspaper Le Soir and the French newspaper Les Echos
My first highspeed rail experience was on this train, from Paris to Dusseldorf, back in the year 2000. What an amazing experience I had. The body color of Thalys is so unique and eye catching!
Merci pour cette vidéo Thibault ! 🤗 J'adore tes trip reports énormément. Sur cette vidéo parfaite, tu m'as appris plein de choses : le coin dédié si tu payes la première classe (115 euros pour toi), je ne connaissais même pas l'existence de ceci ! Ni du petit-déjeuner copieux servi dans le train-même ! Je trouve ça super et super reposant surtout quand tu as de longs voyages à faire. En plus tu expliques bien le chemin à emprunter pour y aller. Et comment il faut s'y prendre. Ah oui j'ai adore lé TGV rouge aussi c'est magnifique. Moi qui adore les trains, je suis fasciné par ta chaine. C'est bien qu'ils proposent à la fois des trains "luxueux" (comme celui-ci), milieux de gamme (TGV classique) ou "économiques" (Ouigo) Il y en a pour tout le monde. Vive les trains, quels qu'ils soient !!! Merci encore 😊.
It is always amazing to see the advancements in European trains. The Americans cannot even master the basic! Gare du Nord is such a great train station. Most US stations are dumps, save for about 5 or 6. Some cities have little huts that resemble a shed! Pitiful! I love the cerise cold 8n this Theylis train -inside and out.
The only time I took Thalys (a week after this video came out AMS-Disneyland Paris) was the only time I’ve experienced problems with strikes in all my European travels . There was no food or drink on board, all there was a big bottle of water you could pour yourself a small cup of water with. Also the train was really really hot.
Watched your video onboard the Thalys. I fully agree with you, service is good! Food was OK, staff friendly and train comfortable. My train to Amsterdam was late in the morning (45mn), we were diverted on the "classic" line because the high speed line between Antwerpen and Rotterdan was closed. And on the return (15mn) because of heavy trafic in Belgium. Delays seem to be pretty common with Thalys (though it is not Thalys fault). I agree it could be worst by car, because of congestions in Lille, Belgium and the Netherland. I thinked to myself "TOILETS TIME" when I went there...
Fine good 👍 as well your simple English I have liked very much and easily understandable Rotterdam to Paris I traveled with my family in 2016 on Thalys [ not 1st class ] thank you
0:35 Whatever you do, don’t drink the coffee from the blue machine in the right corner. I did that a month ago and it was truly horrific. The worst coffee I had in a long time. The other machine in the “hidden corner” makes decent coffee, so use that one instead.
enjoy the video, on my 60th birthday , travel from berlin to paris est , then got train from paris nord to london on eurostar , looking forward more trains in future
Big differ to SCNF. Comfy clean neat. Impressed by all standards. Worth trying for over an hour ride from Gare de Nord to any cities. This Gare looks huge just like Gare de Lyon. Thanks for the clear video. Excellent 👏👍🙏
@@walterclements7968 Aber meiner Meinung nach ist der Thalys inzwischen echt ranzig geworden. Er klappert unentwegt und alles ist halt alt. Die Waggons brauchen mal ne Überholung.
Cool video! I'm going to Paris from Schiphol next week! We booked comfort class (Better seats/Wi-Fi but no Seat service). Did not find the plus 50-+ euro's worth it.
I've seen the Thalys at Brussels many times, but at Gare du Nord, so thank you for this. If you enjoy the wide entrance to Bruxelles Midi, please try London Waterloo. You can also see where the Eurostar arrived before St Pancras International was opened. Or just try one of the videos on here that shows it ;-)
Niveau première classe... une fois grâce au boulot j'ai été dans un Eurostar en classe premium, dans ceux de la nouvelle livrée et damned truc de fou :o Faut que tu essayes un jour !
very nice video!!!! i have a question.. my name is mike from greece and i have some mobility problems {amputee my right foot},from your travel experience with trains.... is easy for me to travel by trains,i have noticed some problems with overcrowed stations,walking a lot of hour to go for taking the train and difficulties with narrow spaces in train vagons... which is your opinion??
Wow i love your trip reports😊. I was one year ago in this lounge but one person in my groupe have a card for lounges, after i was there i went wit 2nd class to Rotterdam. I think you explain and show all great. I have already filmed some trips in France and Germent it is not already published. When are you in Hamburg or Berlin? Good luck on your trip
300kph too....same line ....the North LGV , except from the 4 km which separate the CDG TGV station and the Vemars triangle: it is the junction between the LGV Nord (Paris Lille UK and Belgium) and the LGV interconnection (where CDG and Disney are located) but all are at 300kph
Actually，the ICE from Frankfurt to Brussels is often broken. It is lucky that you can see the ICE in Brussels because it really traveled to Brussels.It used to be stopped in Liege and let all passengers off the train and change to a Belgium IC to continue their trip . It is just an excuse that the train is broken. Scheiße DB
How do you write dialogue for these videos? Do you think about what you want to say during filming and use the basis of your thoughts as dialogue? Or do you only shoot footage and think about what you want to tell during post-production. Either way, love your videos and keep up the good work!
It took us 8 hours, thee train stopped for 4 hours in the middle of nowhere in between Belgium and France. Then another 2 hours in the middle of nowhere again. Wee made a claim but never get reimbursed. You have to be lucky to have a good trip on that travel.
I recently took this exact train route, and it was easily the highlight of my trip to Belgium and France.
Love the Thalys trains and routes. One stop you speak Dutch/Flemish, then French and eventually German! Can't wait for this COVID crap to be over so I can return to Europe.
hate to be the bearer of bad news but Covid isn't going anywhere so better you start back travelling right away

Nice video. Thanks for covering all the details of the train, very good editing job!
If you are in Belgium, visit the train station of Liège !!
Absolutely beautiful !
Agree
i dont agree with you its a ugly giant concrete building in the middel of a no go zone aka a getto

The Thalys service is absolutely amazing, same counts for Eurostar.
This is probably why SNCF is considering a merger.

I travelled with Thalys from Essen to Paris and back. Only 4 houres and a few minutes. That's really fast for this distance. 😁
I love the quality service Thalys has been offering. Huge Respect! Amtrack Takes Notes..Oh Wait? Never Mind!

Its superb in all departments congrats french brethren for having such trains thanks

So nice, thank you for letting us know 😍😍😍👍👍👍🥂
I traveled last year Moscow-Paris using this station .I guess one of the cleanest is Paris .
the paris station is the cleanest??????? damn, well that means that moscow's stations must be really dirty?
J’ai trop hâte que les vidéo du road trip Européen sorte !
The internet was really fast and train attendants were polite !
I’ve travelled Thalys standard from Brussels to Rotterdam it’s pretty good service but gets fairly crowded. Good train service really like your video.
Than you better take first class & pay 45 euro, premium costs 110 euro....

I can’t wait to be able to travel again .... I will definitely be doing this next time I’m able to go to Europe 👍🏻
Thalys sont mon enterprise préféré. Avec Eurostar et Corail/Intercités 😊. Bon vidéo!
Really like your reports
Very nice. Like that breakfast alot 😀
Warum haste nicht gleich den Zug von Thalys genommen der direkt nach Aachen fährt??
Er könnt jetzt 2 videos machen

le thalys wow quelle beaute merci simply railway t'es mon ami
1:15 pause sur l'écran "lofi hip-hop music" Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well
I like the colors too.
Rien à dire la gare du Nord c’est magnifique
Looks great, including the service! However, the whole train looks a bit rocked down, like it could use a new paint some time...
Love thalys went from dam to bruxelles last year, brilliant, pity they don't do the extra 20kmph like tgv.
Wow the thalys looks😎 and it's the name of thalys lounge more is funny😆

Is this train similar to the class 373 (e300) TGV
2:34 So there are 2 Thalys services going to Amsterdam both departing at 8:25. What?
I believe they operate additional services in the Summer for the tourists :).
So you wanted to go to Brussels but ended up in Amsterdam..How did you managed that??
The thalys IS basicly thé 4 or 3erd version of thé tgv here are thé tgvs *the white from Spain / duplex / thalys

Good luck on your trip
Lovely train!
How much money cost the bill ?
Nice video 😉 .... The great thing is that , I have a model of thalys train 🤯🤩
Why do you only ever travel a few stations at a time?
10:07 I didn't know dogs were allowed to travel on the train without a crate, that's cool. (as long as they're well behaved)
Uau demais trem rápido...legal.
França trem tem passar direta Espanha, Itália, Suíça , Bélgica, Luxemburgo, Inglaterra , Holanda e Alemanha ???
Responder
Por favor
In regards to booking, did you book using the website(and if so which country's) or by calling the agency?
Thalys.com is the best option to book. If you want to call try CFL (Luxembourg) their are really nice and kind
Great work...Thumbs UP!!!!
What's the difference between TGV and TGV INOUI?
helo what is the most expensev restaurant in Railway station?
Alstom must be a great company to work. I travel with Oui/TGV/Thalys to France, it is just great.
Sympa ce petit voyage en Belgique. Vive le Thalys . 👍
Awesome. Love Thalys. 👍👏
I will travel so soon, I hope that very well
J'ai pris le THALYS une fois pour aller à liège et franchement je suis pas déçu
Great train. 300 km per hour. Is the Paris cdg to bruxelles a faster train or is it 300 km too
300kph too....same line ....the North LGV , except from the 4 km which separate the CDG TGV station and the Vemars triangle: it is the junction between the LGV Nord (Paris Lille UK and Belgium) and the LGV interconnection (where CDG and Disney are located) but all are at 300kph
In the Thalys lounge in Amsterdam you get also food and drinks
Excellent !!! Thank you for sharing !!! :):):)
Which Relation Goesthe tgv Reseau in the end?
Mon père est conducteur de trains thalys depuis 5 ans maintenant
People, anyone knows how many baggage can we take? and the size of the baggage?

Breakfast seems to be more than ok ☺
Nice train, thank you

That breakfast looked good, scrambled eggs weren’t over done…..

This is the pkba there is no newer version
