    DSB has bought new waggons for the Copenhagen - Hamburg line. They are testing them right now, and it is done at night. But here is a video showing a test.
    The video title: "Testkørsel af Talgo-vognene".
    As you can see in the video, it is with a push-pull configuration, it will also be the configuration when in normal operation. The reason is that the steering waggons will arrive in a year or two later. So with a total of 17000 HP, it should be possible to get these lightweight Talgo waggons over the bridge at Rendsburg.
    Normal operation is expected to start in January 2025, MAYBE December 2024. So DB can get their waggons back next year.

      @LetsgowithD  Місяць тому +1

      Thanks for the information! It's exciting to hear about the new Talgo wagons and the push-pull configuration. Can't wait to see these in operation by January 2025 (or maybe even December 2024). I expect some changes in the Netherlands too, as we're also going to have these trains running to Berlin. It would be great if they could extend to Hamburg, making it much easier and faster to take the second train to Copenhagen 😊

    great views, but -alas- I prefer a short plane flight; this takes too long and is also very complicated. there should be direct trains from (e.g. Amsterdam or Schiphol) towards Copenhagen in high speed (or at least a comfortable 'sleeper' during the night as it was before in the 'Nord Express' or the 'Hook - Copenhagen' express with a dining car and private sleepers of course).

    • @LetsgowithD
      @LetsgowithD  Місяць тому +5

      Thanks for sharing! I get that flying is quicker and easier for some. A direct high-speed or comfy sleeper train between Amsterdam and Copenhagen would be awesome. There are new ICE-L trains coming to the Netherlands and Denmark in 2025 that can go 230 km/h, so that should save some time. Fingers crossed for future improvements!

    • @daanwolters3751
      @daanwolters3751 Місяць тому +3

      From december 2025 there will be a direct train from amsterdam to copenhagen, which will be about 2 hours shorter than this route. When the Fehnmarn tunnel opens in 2029, the journey will be another two hours shorter.

    • @LetsgowithD
      @LetsgowithD  Місяць тому +3

      @daanwolters3751 That sounds really promising! Now it took us 12 hours, but by 2029 it could be just 8 hours. Traveling by train will be much easier and faster in Europe in the future. It will be a great alternative to airplanes ✈️

    • @daanwolters3751
      @daanwolters3751 Місяць тому +1

      @@LetsgowithD yeah it is, the tunnel and the direct train will be huge upgrades. Especially since a 8 hour direct train (7.5 even, going by the original announcement of the DSB) is doable. And in my eyes better than flying as it is a lot more comfortable, especially since you dont have to worry about connections.

    • @LetsgowithD
      @LetsgowithD  Місяць тому +1

      @daanwolters3751 I totally agree. It would be a big upgrade because it's much faster and more comfortable, especially with a direct train without having to take 2 or 3 trains to get to your destination. It's looking good!

      @LetsgowithD  Місяць тому +1

      @Chamarel You are correct! Govolta will focus on budget. I read that there is an option to buy seat reservations or not (standing or restaurant?). The train will also take longer than the current one from Amsterdam to Berlin, but I still think it's good for customers to have more players in the market. Hopefully, this will lead to better prices and better trains.

    I did that trip in reverse, some 44 years ago. I don't remember changing trains. It was a direct connection between Copenhagen and Amsterdam. We must have had a ferry instead of a tunnel. I don't recall it, I was too tired (see below). But I do recall that it took one hour less in total. No stopovers save a lot of time, more than the ferry took, apparently. I do recall it was hot and I was sharing a cabin with a fellow Dutchman who was a professional gambler and had a flu and was glad he could talk Dutch to me. He did so for 11 hours.... and he did not want the window open because of his fever. No AC in the trains back then.
    I came from Stockholm, walked from Copenhagen Central to the harbor. I missed the last ferry from Gothenburg to Copenhagen. I was a poor student and had to sleep in a park on a bench, which did not work well with 6 deg C and fog. After that and the hot cabin with the talkative gambler I was so tired that when I finally was home in Haarlem, I slept for 24 hours almost without interruption. It was not a journey I would like to repeat.

    • @LetsgowithD
      @LetsgowithD  Місяць тому

      Wow, what an incredible story! Traveling has definitely changed a lot over the years. Your journey sounds like it was quite the adventure, especially without the modern comforts we have today. I hope you didn’t get the flu from your Dutch fellow traveler.
      It was really nice to read your story, and I feel we have something in common-I live very close to Haarlem and we both did this journey. If you feel like it, you should do it again to relive old memories and make new ones. There is a sale with Interrail until July 18 with 20% discount. Just keep in mind, when you buy, you should use it within a year from September.
