Actually, Breda has shops inside the building, but you would have to walk past the gates instead of going through, there's a Starbucks, AH to go and all kinds of foodshops.
The shopping area is indeed located on the side parallel to the platforms, not in the line of walking. Which is why half the shops are empty. Breda is a weird station in that regard. The bus station also feels hidden from the tunnel, while upstairs its great." Also strange that 2/3 platforms have a kiosk for coffee and such but the 3rd one doesn't. It's beautifull but just not functional.
This train type is called DDZ (Double Dekker Zones) Not DDM. DDM is the older/first series of this train that is in service in the north of The Netherlands. 5:28 You can see the black square under the seat that's the power outlet.
I used to ride on these regularly before they were refurbished; I remember the seats used to be green. I was extremely curious about the motorised carriage with it's unusual wheel arrangement with three driving bogies, Bo Bo Bo. The refurbishment is a huge improvement but these were always one of my favourite Dutch train sets. Another very nice report, merci!
This is called DDZ and used to be DD-AR, in fact it was the oldest stock of NS and used for regional trains, but recently refurbished for IC services. The DDM are double-deck loco hauled (push-pull) coaches.
The oldest stock of the NS right now are actually the ICMm, ICRm & DDM1. These all date back to the early/mid 80's while the DD-AR was built in the early 90's (though they were based on the DDM1).
Well, I guess you have been misinformed. Our oldest train in service is the 2111, which is a SGM(m) train, built in 1974. The first DDM-1 train was built in 1985 and the first set of ICR coaches was built in 1986. The very first series of ICM (called ICM-0) was built in 1977, but that serie is not in service anymore. Conclusion: your comments are wrong. Only if you meant that DDM-1 is our oldest unmodernised stock, you’d be right. Source: www.railwiki.nl/ Note: if an NS-train gets modernised, it’ll mostly get a small “m” at the end of the name. An SGM train became an SGMm, the ICM became ICMm and the ICR became ICRm. Only the old DDM-1/DD-AR stock got a different name. The modernised trains are called DDZ (or NID)
Love the video! These trains do in fact have power outlets, but in 1st class and only under the 2 seats instead of the one. They’re very hidden but are under the seats in between the two.
Trains in Netherlands are expensive, but, there is one positive thing in our country that if you are a student, you can travel for free during the week with a special card called "studentenov", and I'm pretty sure it doesn't excist in a lot of countries, I have that too, so during the week I can travel to all places inside The Netherlands for €0, isn't that nice:)
Here in my country (Chile, SA) we have a card called TNE (spanish initials for National Student Card). It's only valid at public transport (metro, suburban trains and public buses) the technology is not standard right now (some places we show it to the conductor and we pay with cash, some other are contactless). For primary students the fare is 100% off. Secondary and college/university is 33% of the fare.
it's meant to. The shopping area is even worse in that regard. full on airport. The shopping area is however located on the side parallel to the platforms, not in the line of walking. Which is why half the shops are empty. Breda is a weird station in that regard. The bus station also feels hidden from the tunnel, while upstairs its great." Also strange that 2/3 platforms have a kiosk for coffee and such but the 3rd one doesn't. It's beautifull but just not functional.
For occasional traveling, a train ticket is pricey. But most Dutch people who often take the train have an NS discount card 40%. Such a discount card costs 55 Euro per year. Supermarkets also occasionally sell train vouchers for unlimited day trips for around 15 Euro. Students have a public transportion card for free travel on the bus, tram, train and metro.
Regarding the door handles... they are designed to represent "annoying" things in the train. E.g. Grapes = Eating, Phone = Calling, Spray Can = Graffiti etc etc
5,30€ expensive? In Germany you would pay at least 19,90€ in an Intercity for this journey and just a regional ticket would cost 6€ or if you unlucky with ticket zones it would be 15,70€.
The NS have since long time ago a protocol for decoration in they trains . Thats why there so many decoration . I love it :) But the best trains of all are the TRAXX which the ICRM(H) carriages .
I remember that the glass doors and panels were not decorated and many people ran into them. Now they are easier to see for older or bad sight people, and kids. And decorations depend on taste, a perfect one doesn't exist.
Most Dutch people will travel with a OV-chipkaart, likely. Only too bad it's so inflexible to get 1st class for part of the journey, like when 2nd is full. It immediately changes all trips that day to 1st, even if you don't need or want it.
NS stations are the best! 5,30 euros, but in fact, most people taking the train have an OV-Chipkaart with a season ticket, and it costs 5 euros per month to get a 40% discount on off peak hours and weekend travels. 32 for unlimited travels during the weekend, and you can add 3 euros to get the off peak hours discount, monday to friday.
The tickets are expensive if you pay full price. You can buy an annual "Voordeelurenkaart" (Discount hours card) which gives you 40% off of all tickets when travelling after 9AM (and on weekends all day). There are indeed no power sockets on these trains (the new sprinters have them and the new intercities will have them too). The intercities also have free WiFi but is not fast enough for streaming most of the time.
About the doorhandles: they are solid metal, so very heavy. When this train takes sharp curves or switches, the doors bang really hard from side to side. Many times I was scaresd the doors would shatter, since they are glass I assume. It must be a strond kind...😉
The power sockets in a DDZ (or NID) are under the 2 seats in first class only. Only our modern local trains have power outlets in both classes everywhere.
That's track gauge. He was referring to the loading gauge, which is the maximum width and height a train carriage can be. And the loading gauge in the Netherlands is larger than in France: height of 4.7m versus France's 4.28, width of 3.4m, versus France's 3.1m.
Amai die netheid in het begin, precies Japan, mogen onze schoonmaakdiensten ook wat van leren 😅. Qua trein zelf prefereer ikzelf onze m6 (hoewel ze daar misschien iets aan de grijsheid mogen doenm) en in het onze nieuwe bijzonder M7! Wat ik bij jullie ook goed vind, zijn de stiltecoupés, vind het jammer dat NMBS dit niet invoert. Ik hoop dat ze in de toekomst M7 als Beneluxtrein gaan inzetten aan 200 km/h (Amsterdam-Brussel, en evt. tijdens hoogseizoen of 1 keer per dag uitbreiden naar Luik/Luxemburg Stad), dit zal echter utopie zijn, en als we de M7 bij jullie zien, zal het maar tot in Roosendaal zijn. Helaas en gelukkig (nostalgie) zijn het nog steeds die varkensneuzen, oerdegelijk 'vooroorlogs' kwaliteit haha, zowat de lelijkste treinen qua uitzicht, die sturen we naar jullie (en dan verschieten somligen dat jullie neerkijken op ons 🤣), ik begrijp echt niet waarom ze die niet eens veranderen. Groetjes van een zuiderbuur 🙂
It’s not an NS pantograph, it’s a faiveley pantograph, from the french. And it’s just old so the design has a few extra pipes than you would see on modern ones. Nothing weird about it
To condense a bunch of comments into one: 0:50 Correction: Breda station: It does have shops and if I am not mistaken also a ticket office. You're in the wrong walkway for those; the layout of Breda's station is... Silly to say the least, and how that got planning approval is beyond me. 1:34 Correction: This is not a DDM, this is a DDZ, a refurbished DD-AR set. DDM1 is the first generation of double decker coaches (loco hauled); which where followed up by the second generation which looks nearly identical (DD-AR) but has many technical differences, including the fact 50 "sets" where pulled by motor cars rather then locomotives. These 50 "sets" where recently refurbished for use as intercity rather then commuter trains, and some where lengthened to 6 cars (they where all 4 cars before) using some of the leftover loco-hauled DD-AR carriages. DDM1 trains (unrefurbished) are still in service on peak hour trains to/from haarlem but will be taken out of service next year. DDM1 is currently the oldest unrefurbished stock on the Dutch Railways. Unrefurbished DD-AR sets are also still in service for the record, there's only a few of them left after most of it was refurbished into the DDZ you see here, but you can still catch the unrefurbished ones between Utrecht and Zwolle for example. 1:44 Comment: Dutch trains are cheaper then for example trains in the UK, but definately on the expensive side. There's good reason for that, The Netherlands is a small and dense country, people don't travel as far but of course, the baseline costs of running a network like this, even with the subsidies and investments are not that much lower then rail networks that transport passengers on segnificantly longer differences. All in all; calling it expensive is a bit... 2:07 Comment: Leave it to the artist commissioned handles to be weird. :3 2:44 Comment: You got the good seat, the seats are spaced evenly across the space with a minimum and maximum allowed pitch, and the compartiments aren't all the same length, meaning Pitch depends on the carriage and where in the carriage you are. 3:11 Fun Fact: New trains are being delivered now with power and/or USB sockets in both classes. The DDZ trains do have them, they are just only in first class. 3:25 Correction: I assume you didn't mean "gauge". "Gauge" refers to the width of the train tracks, which is standard width in both the Netherlands and France, the exact same. 4:40 Correction: Power sockets are under the seat in First class onthe DDZ. 7:09 Comment: You wouldn't believe it now, these things had a reputation for being noisy as hell before renovation, especially during braking due to a flawed design of the braking system. 7:42 Comment: Hold on, what is strange about our pantographs? They are pretty much standard like this across most of Europe on newer trains. Tip: make sure, due to the youtube recommended/end-card thing, that you don't have text the last 10 seconds of your video, if needed edit the videos slightly different to avoid it. Right now recommended videos overlap what you wrote and you can't actually read it. Nice video, thumbs up.
3:25 He does mean 'gauge', just not 'track gauge' but 'loading gauge', which is the maximum width and height a train carriage can be. In Dutch we call it 'omgrenzingsprofiel'.
As a Dutchman I like how the DDZ turned out, but NS has a poor taste of decoration. In some trains there's poetry that doesn't make any sense and the DDZ has grapes, random objects and even something that looks like barf as door handles. But overall our trains have improved a lot in the past few years. If you did trip reports here before 2010-ish, you'd encounter uncomfortable and sometimes nasty and depressing rolling stock interiors.
@Kermisreporter: WAS there. More and more shops are closing as no traveller can find them or doesn’t want to walk all the way to where they are located. No idea what made the architect/ProRail/NS think that shops outside the travellers route would be a great idea.
Okay, here we go. I want to correct you You called the stock DDM But. Its a DDZ (double decker zoning) or else an NID (New Intercity Double decker) MDDM is a varient of the older DDM1 stock what is out of service
Hi, I really like your video's man! NS has some new "sprinters" (regional trains) called SNG. They are in service for a bit more than one year now, i'm interested in what you think about this trains. Maybe you can make a review of it? That would be awesome ;D
Haha, €5.30 (£4.70) for 18 minutes isn't expensive, you should see in England where one route (Leeds to York) for 25 minutes is almost £16 (€18) for a one-way ticket. ;)
How much distance covered in 18 minutes for €5.30? Asking per U.S. commuter lines. Speaking of which, New Jersey Transit reportedly is getting multi level MUs in 4 cars sets, 2 middle cars would be powered. See if those power cars resemble those DDZ power units with upper level seating.
Doing a 20 to 25 km for 3.5 to 5 €, in about 20 minutes, is doable in Paris area. It depends on the number of calls, if there are many stations, the train will call often and so it will travel less distance.
Glad that you visited my country:) what did you think about it? Do you like our trains? (Btw didn't watched the video yet so maybe you answer this questions in the video hahah:)
Et d'avoir assez de budget sur la carte. Dommage quand même que changer pour 1ère classe ne peut pas plus flexible. C'est soit pas, soit pour tous les voyages cette journée...
Et avec une fréquence qu'on ne voit que en Île de France, et encore. Un IC (fait moins d'arrêts) ét un train omnibus toutes les 30' est le norme partout dans le pays, dans le Randstad, c'est plus.
@Gravel pit Where you have to walk for miles to change trains and often miss the connection because of this. Better to blow up the old shit and built something that is practical and efficient. We still have stations like Haarlem, Groningen and Maastricht that are far more beautiful :-)))
Most pantographs of our older trains are part of the french “faively” family. DDZ, VIRM (6-coaches, 86xx and 87xx series), the old “Sprinter” and ICMm have them. And all pantographs are big compared to other countries, especially the contact strips, because of the 1500V DC on the “regular” routes. Our tracks are very full and the trains take a lot of capacity on the 1500V, so it needs to be strong. The higher the voltage, the smaller the pantographs and contact strips.
Nice video! Although I think €5,30 is a lot for such a short ride. In general, trains in the Netherlands are way too expensive... If you are looking for a new train to review, I would suggest that you go to the line between Maastricht and Heerlen (and maybe to Aachen). The line is beautiful, and I like the trains which Arriva uses on that line ;-)
I can definately recommend the Merwedelingelijn, The line through Zeeland and the line between Almelo and Hardenberg too. They all have something unique about them.

There are lots of discounted fares and you can buy lot of discount formulas with NS which are a good deal. You can get up to 40% discount.

Hi, I really like your video's man! NS has some new "sprinters" (regional trains) called SNG. They are in service for a bit more than one year now, i'm interested in what you think about this trains. Maybe you can make a review of it? That would be awesome ;D
Haha, €5.30 (£4.70) for 18 minutes isn't expensive, you should see in England where one route (Leeds to York) for 25 minutes is almost £16 (€18) for a one-way ticket. ;)
For the same price, student fare, in France, 225 km in extremely comfortable trains :) Like this one I filmed youtube .com/watch?v=l_50geGCAHs
The DDZ definivetly looks older on the outside than the inside.
Nice report. Review the ETR700 please of FS :)
How much distance covered in 18 minutes for €5.30? Asking per U.S. commuter lines. Speaking of which, New Jersey Transit reportedly is getting multi level MUs in 4 cars sets, 2 middle cars would be powered. See if those power cars resemble those DDZ power units with upper level seating.
Doing a 20 to 25 km for 3.5 to 5 €, in about 20 minutes, is doable in Paris area. It depends on the number of calls, if there are many stations, the train will call often and so it will travel less distance.
@@paname514 Approx 16 miles
Nice!
Min. 3:23: You certainly mean structure gauge (the width of the trains) and not track gauge which is the same all over central Europe.
Their are 1 or more wide Gates at every gate line for bicycles and wide luggage
And wheelchairs!
Glad that you visited my country:) what did you think about it? Do you like our trains? (Btw didn't watched the video yet so maybe you answer this questions in the video hahah:)
Don't worry about the art in dutch trains, nobody understands what it is supposed to be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3.20 the dutch people are the tallest people in the world :D thats why the celling is so high
Breda is a name of a character off Hollyoaks
Le plus pratique aux Pays Bas c'est que tu reserve pas ton train, tu y va avec ta carte OV (il ne faut pas oublier de checkout ^^).
Et d'avoir assez de budget sur la carte. Dommage quand même que changer pour 1ère classe ne peut pas plus flexible. C'est soit pas, soit pour tous les voyages cette journée...
@@barvdw Il faut 20 euro sur la carte non ?
Je croyais que c'était un peu plus, 24, ou qq chose du genre, mais oui, c'est ça.
Does it cost 5.30 euros with an OV chipkaart or not?
No, €1 less. Warning on ticket machines: €1 extra for a separate ticket with chip.
6:08, what do you use to put your phone in ?
Dat is een gimbal. Stabiliseert je telefoon voor mooiere video's
@@walterclements7968 oké dankjewel 😁
En gros, le trajet est peut être plus cher qu'en France mais au moins ILS ONT TOUS QUI EST PROPRES et ça justifie peut être le prix non ?
Et avec une fréquence qu'on ne voit que en Île de France, et encore. Un IC (fait moins d'arrêts) ét un train omnibus toutes les 30' est le norme partout dans le pays, dans le Randstad, c'est plus.
What country are you from?
Better when you show more arrive train station, roseendaal ist most beutyful train station in Nl!
@Gravel pit Where you have to walk for miles to change trains and often miss the connection because of this. Better to blow up the old shit and built something that is practical and efficient. We still have stations like Haarlem, Groningen and Maastricht that are far more beautiful :-)))
J'adore les train néerlandais
Why is the NS-pantograph strange may I ask?
Don't know, very different from other countries
Most pantographs of our older trains are part of the french “faively” family. DDZ, VIRM (6-coaches, 86xx and 87xx series), the old “Sprinter” and ICMm have them. And all pantographs are big compared to other countries, especially the contact strips, because of the 1500V DC on the “regular” routes. Our tracks are very full and the trains take a lot of capacity on the 1500V, so it needs to be strong. The higher the voltage, the smaller the pantographs and contact strips.
Nice video! Although I think €5,30 is a lot for such a short ride. In general, trains in the Netherlands are way too expensive...
If you are looking for a new train to review, I would suggest that you go to the line between Maastricht and Heerlen (and maybe to Aachen). The line is beautiful, and I like the trains which Arriva uses on that line ;-)
I can definately recommend the Merwedelingelijn, The line through Zeeland and the line between Almelo and Hardenberg too. They all have something unique about them.
@@AutoGamerZ_ I think you meant Hardenberg instead of Harderwijk
@Thomas Joosten
Yep, thanks for your correction.
The trains may seem expensive, but going by car would be moreso.
Nice review +1.
1:35 it’s actually the DDZ Not DDM that’s DDZ Train
5:28, a power outlet
i got a editing tip for you when editing your videos blur people faces cause it explain why the paris Austerlitz toulous vidoe got removed
In The Netherlands is perfectly fine to record in a public area without consent from people btw!
@@michaelvanderpal1952 ok
1:45 in the U.K. that would be fairly cheap
Nice station, right? 😁
lol my cousins live in Roosendaal
OOPS i only talked by the up zone
These trains look really nice but the decoration on the doors is weird
Their only purpose is to prevent people running through them ...
Salut, belle vidéo, tu as passé plus de temps à filmer qu'à rester assis !!! Par contre, toujours ce problème de blanc sur blanc pour les sous-titres, essaie une autre couleur si tu veux
First class kinda seems like a waste of money to me
No one uses it
Nice train, tacky decorations :p
Thibault, the reason why anything in the Netherlands might be crazy is because they're on drugs. They love their drugs there.
Ca aurait éte encore mieux avec une Virm, elles font un de ses sons au démarrage et au freinage :S
Sur la première série seulement, qui pour cette raison fut appelée "doedelzak" = cornemuse.
Its a ddz
Can you report the ICE and the Intercity Berlin? That are cool trains. Cool video
Pretty sure theres power in first class
Under the seats, he didn't see them.
NS has a lot of delays
No it doesn't . Dutch people think so, foreigners don't.
True
No they don’t, it is one of the best performing train companies in the world
Maybe from a Dutch point of view, but probably not from a German, French or British point of view.
The Netherlands’s NS confuses me sometimes with NS In USA, like Norfolk Southern is the USA NS.
DDZ HAS A POWER OUT ONLY 4SEAT FIRST CLASS
First😇
Do more dutch videos dude…. Do you hate the Netherlands or something? There is soooo muchhh more to see in the Netherlands. The nicest stations ( Breda where you were for example) and new trains. The Netherlands also has more sleeper trains now. But ofcourse ou ignore us 😔 while you are milking Belgium you are ignoring us….. and you haven’t even made a video on Eurostar to the Netherlands…. While you have the dutch flag there just why?…. And you have only 5 videos from The Netherlands….. and freaking 12 from Belgium…..
My final question…. Why do you hate her Netherlands?….
