Would have worth a mention, from 9:07 to 9:15, we can see the actual predecessor of these EMUs on main line 70: a 6 coaches push-pull stock, both the cars and the engine around 60 years old, both refurished around 20 years ago.
Budapest-Vác was the first railway line in Hungary, opened in 1846. The station building at Vác is the original, but it was enlarged and modernized. The signal box at the Nyugati station is in operation, and also Rákosrendező, Rákospalota-Újpest and Szob stations' switches are operated manually.
Great video as always and Indeed, this EMU's livery looks really smart and stylish and in terms of features this EMU tick all the boxes moreover, really appreciate the inclusion of the information screens as well as segregated recycling bins. Personally, i loved the addition of charging points, and Wheelchair lifts! , now that's what I call a exemplary regional train. This train set is more than perfect, in my opinion.
Another smart feature - which not available on KISS, but on new passanger coaches - is air pump for bikes. The pressure is provided fron the train's high pressure air pipes.
The livery really looks like the Dutch sprinters. Budapest is a beautiful city. Been there in 1990 and loved the Jugendstil trams and metro that survived the communist regime. We (5 girls) were having a vacation on the Balaton lake and went 2 times to Budapest by train and also went to the West Station to see the building build under supervision of Eiffel. Half of the city had still grey and black houses due to the dust of cars and trucks. Want to go back when I see your footage.
Fabulous access and facilities for the disabled - quite right too! I'm sure no one would like to be confined in a wheelchair for life and anything the train operators can do to ease their problems is to be applauded. This is the best I've seen. Great report as always, and good to see the smaller stations.
Hungary is famous for its narrow gauge "forest railways". Have a trip with one of those, you should expect absolutely mesmerizing views. They are on the slow and uncomfortable side, but that's not the point anyway. Maybe if you are planning on returning to Szob, i highly suggest going on a trip with the local forest railway. It's like 6 hours round, but worth every Hungarian Forints. There are more than 20 forest railways in Hungary, but most of them are far harder to reach, so this or the one in Budapest is the easiest to show.
Concerning luggage space: don't forget about the space in between the back of seats. It's perfect for suitcases or backpacks. It even fits a Brompton, if necessary.
Video's Score 7/10 The livery reminds me of an NS Sprinter so much but nice train. I like how the board which shows what the next stop is is next to the seats
Great post, in a strange sort of way I like to see the rural trains and the stations, or lack of station, it goes to the real part of the country where the locals live and eat, personally whenever I travel with my wife we prefer not seeing the tourist attractions but the real country and it’s people, we’ve found every place has its attractions, yes we go by rail I book the local area’s regional weekly pass for rail, trams and buses it entices you to use it and explore more,
In the larger cities I like to catch the suburban train or tram or metro on any random line to the last stop..then wander around the area.. have a bite to eat..and see how the locals live....usually there are no tourists and people tend to speak less English so that forces me(in a good way)to learn at least a few basic phrases in the local lingo..and the cafe/restaurant prices are generally cheaper to as you are away from the touristy city centre....
Great video and one of the best intros - makes me want to go to Budapest! Nice train, the only thing I didn’t like was the moquette otherwise, functionality and price - brilliant.
A friend of mine lives north of the City in a town served by these brand new trains. He said that they are nice to ride during the off-peak - but during rush hour, when folks are packed in like sardines, you tend not to notice how nice they look! The "open look" gets replaced by the elbow,shoulder,back, etc of the person squished in next to you! Still a really nice looking train.
Still much higher capacity than those they replaced, so that must be a good thing! I've travelled on that line in rush hour and it wasn't mega packed... 🤷🏻♂️
Another great video and train adventure. I love your videos because they show me places I have never been to, despite travelling through out Europe 11 times!! Interesting to see these new trains all becoming wheelchair accessible, despite the fact that I have NEVER seen ANY wheelchair passengers on board- EVER!
I definitely advise a trip down from Deli station to Keszthely, its a splendid city, either take a dip in Lake Balaton or head to Heviz for the thermal pool, easiest to get there via Siofok, or take the scenic route on the north side of the Lake via Revfulop (a good 'beach town'), changing at Topolka onto the more rickety rackety trains (think of it like a Soviet Pacer). Alternatively check out Pecs (pronounced 'Pitch' I think), near a very good wine region, and it is a historical city (like a small Budapest with a fair bit of Ottoman influence), around a 2.5-3 hour train journey from Keleti, trains usually even have 1st class on the route, so very comfy and roomy, though usually no catering.
Also, when I traveled on one in the upper level I discovered a nice feature. Some of the windows of course have a way to open in an emergency , but under a nearby seat is a collapsible ladder to use to climb down from the outside, instead of jumping down!
The landscape remains beautiful to enjoy it from the window plus the comfort on trains increases. The only pity of the Stadle FLIRT is that you can't lean out of the window anymore.
Well, with you, what is exceptional is that we travel all over Europe !!! Only contrasting landscapes, different cultures and sounds. Whoa! If you want to know where my favorite landscapes are, the answer is: in the North. The video, of course, is of good quality, because you can see the train well. I love newer trains, less old ones. But it looks like there are three floors, didn't you go up to the third? Well, I just have to repeat myself for each video: good train, good video, good whatsoever. Thank you frankly to you, nonstop eurotrip !!!
Stadler are also manufacturing new trains and underground rolling stocks for England and Wales. Including the Class 231 and Class 756 Flirts for Transport for Wales, Merseyrail Class 777 Metro, Tyne and Wear Metro Class 555, new Stadler trains for Glasgow Subway and new London Underground tube trains to replace the Bakerloo Line 1972 Stocks and 1992 Stocks used on the Central Line and Waterloo & City Line. And perhaps Stadler could continue with manufacturing more new trains if they were to build a UK train manufacturing plant. But I have to say the Stadler Kiss units are well built, spacious and pretty much incredible.
Just for info : on first half of your trip between Budapest and Vác opened in 1911 the first electric railway section of Royal Hungarian Railways, today Hungarian State Railways (Magyar Állami Vasútak, MÁV). Regards.
They seem pretty good trains, wonder what they're like to drive. Although I'd have preferred Talgo's and CAF's propositions, I'm looking forward to Renfe's future Cercanías EMUs based on the Kiss model.
You'll probably like them more than I'll do. Stadler is a guarantee of good quality, but it's the double-decker configuration that doesn't convince me. As a train driver, having to go up stairs then down then up then down and so on is a real pain when switching cabs! Plus, in commuter services some people take too long to get to the exit when there are stairs inside the coaches, but they still try to get out anyway with the doors already closing. You wouldn't believe how often people get trapped between doors doing just this! It's easier for us when passenger operations go smoothly.
Great video! I come from Serbia, a country which bought 3 Stadler KISS 200 trains for operation on brand new high speed line (200 km/h) between Belgrade and Novi Sad. They should arrive soon, and the line will comercially open in february. If you have time, come to Serbia since it is a beautiful country. Maybe also try the Belgrade to Bar line, an marvel of engeenering!
Visited Belgrade during the summer, beautiful city with a great atmosphere. Although I'm hungarian - so we're quite close neighbours- this was my first time in Serbia, but definitely will go back!
Same double decker kiss train goes Belgrade - Novi Sad , 74 km, in 32 minutes. For most of a line it goes 200 kmh. It is part of inter city line Belgrade - Novi Sad - Subotica - Szeged - Budapest, which should start operating in 2024. Voyage should last about 3 hours. Delays are possible , as usual...
The WiFi usally not working on FLIRT and KISS trains, but it almost always working on the "fecske" or "posta Bhv" (modernized Bhv) cars. And I recommend the MÁV's new 1+ (premium) class trains.
There’s something about announcements made at European Train Stations(no matter which country) that evokes a sense of nostalgia of my European train adventures..
Fantastic local new train, way to go Hungary...!! The service for bikes and other wheelies is really smart. Wow... how many people live in Nagymaros then? Reaching your nice little town with class... awesome..! Yeah, I enjoyed this video very much, good job man..! What is there in Szob, by the way?
These trains are almost the same as the Mällartåg intercity trains that run between Stockholm and the cities and towns around the Mällar lake in Sweden. They are 4 units long, reach 190-200 km/h on long portions of their lines and offer more seating on the upper levels.
60 km from budapest to the final railway ststion means is a commuter train just for very short distancie In railways the most importan issue is not the train but the tracks
If you are impressed by these Stadler Kiss, I can totally recommend that if you visit Sweden again, you should really try Mälartåg, as their double-deckers have so many more features!
15:05 I don't quite understand something, why do these KISS have a not completely barrier-free entry? I don't know a KISS or flirt that still has a step after the extendable push step. If the height difference were not, you would only have the problem with the non-flat perron.
KISS units had their first Hungarian run in schedule in March 2020 but only for one weekend then. When pandemic broke in and borders were locked, the Swiss engineers without whom these trains couldn't properly function, they had to travel back home so there were no KISS for the lockdown months. Such strange debut.
Dam, our seats in our Stadler KISS are not this nice. On route from Beograd - Novi Sad. (Serbia) Soon (Budapest - Sabadka(Subotica) - Novi Sad(Ujvidek) - Beograd - Nis(at some point)).
Two announcements made after you boarded the train were each preceded by five chords that sounded exactly like the start of the main theme of Strauss’s Death and Transfiguration. It must be coincidence though, I can’t believe they would have picked that deliberately!
@Nonstop Eurotrip Yes the old signalbox is still in use, the core of the signal system is over 150 years old now, a Siemens-Halske if you are famailiar in the field of railway signalling. You can see it how it works in this video: ua-cam.com/video/IFcEuHfipjg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=M%C3%81V
It doesn't seem like many people are using the train, I don't know why, the train looks great, it goes at least as fast as the car and the price is ok (3.5 euros for roughly 100km means that it is cheaper for 2 people to take this train than to go with a car, I suppose that it is even cheaper if you take the ticket for both directions).
Én azért finoman de beletenném, hogy ha tovább menne a vonat az is magyar lakta terület, egészen Pozsonyig. Pl. Dunaszerdahely ma is 90% magyar lakta. De Komárom szlovák fele is 50%. Mert a külföldi nem tudja.
Wifi never works on hungarian trains, surely you can connect to the Wifi network, but you wont get any data coming in, there was never any active hungarian train with a connecting wifi accross the whole country
Ahh. Again the benefits of a high loading gauge. Blue and yellow; a bright sunny vibe. Pity that our British operators can’t provide interiors that give adequate space instead of maximising passenger numbers.
@@jabberwockytdi8901 Sounds about right given the disastrous interventions of our Oxbridge Arts Civil Servants. Could organise the proverbial…. 👍🏻🏴
Maximising passenger numbers is absolutely the way to go if a lot of people are using train as the mode of transportation. As you can see in this video, not a lot of people are on this train.
Yes, the old signalbox in Nyugati is still in use, unfortunatelly they still operate the century old "Siemens" wire puller system in the Eastern half of the station. Tracks 1 to 9 have been modernized around the Millennium when the shopping mall was built. But there is no money to change the Eastern part to modern, motorized switch operation. MÁV has recently made a kind of self-ironic video about it claiming handcraft working is worth going to a gym to workout. ua-cam.com/video/IFcEuHfipjg/v-deo.html

that old signal box in the Nyugati station is still fully functional, some switches are used with human power from there :D

It doesn't seem like many people are using the train, I don't know why, the train looks great, it goes at least as fast as the car and the price is ok (3.5 euros for roughly 100km means that it is cheaper for 2 people to take this train than to go with a car, I suppose that it is even cheaper if you take the ticket for both directions).
It does get busy in leak times....!

Én azért finoman de beletenném, hogy ha tovább menne a vonat az is magyar lakta terület, egészen Pozsonyig. Pl. Dunaszerdahely ma is 90% magyar lakta. De Komárom szlovák fele is 50%. Mert a külföldi nem tudja.
11:03 free wifi is not working on the trains. this is not good.
It will soon, apparently...
Wifi never works on hungarian trains, surely you can connect to the Wifi network, but you wont get any data coming in, there was never any active hungarian train with a connecting wifi accross the whole country

Ahh. Again the benefits of a high loading gauge. Blue and yellow; a bright sunny vibe.
Pity that our British operators can’t provide interiors that give adequate space instead of maximising passenger numbers.
Absolutely, couldn't agree more!
@@jabberwockytdi8901 Sounds about right given the disastrous interventions of our Oxbridge Arts Civil Servants.
Could organise the proverbial…. 👍🏻🏴
Its basicaly the Dutch livery
Maximising passenger numbers is absolutely the way to go if a lot of people are using train as the mode of transportation. As you can see in this video, not a lot of people are on this train.
They look like Dutch sprinter trains
With respect to the colour scheme, yes. Otherwise, nope!

Yes, the old signalbox in Nyugati is still in use, unfortunatelly they still operate the century old "Siemens" wire puller system in the Eastern half of the station. Tracks 1 to 9 have been modernized around the Millennium when the shopping mall was built. But there is no money to change the Eastern part to modern, motorized switch operation. MÁV has recently made a kind of self-ironic video about it claiming handcraft working is worth going to a gym to workout. ua-cam.com/video/IFcEuHfipjg/v-deo.html
Very interesting, thanks 😊
Flirts in Slovenia have chairs hard as a stone. But it is O. K. Travel time is not long. Max. 1 hour.
That's ok then 😊
This is a commuter train. It's for short distances only!
I never said it wasn't...
