Looks like #Stadler will be building Europe's first multiple unit sleeper train for Norway - and it looks REALLY good! 😍🇳🇴

Japan's brand-new high-speed train, running from Nagasaki to Takeo-Onsen!
This is the Kamome, which translates as 'seagull'. 😅🇯🇵
Welcome aboard the #HelloKittyShinkansen! 🥰
This unique JR 500 series runs a daily return trip in west Japan, and I'm riding it all the way to Hakata! 😍🇯🇵
One novelty of Executive Chair on the Vande Bharat is that you can rotate your seats 90° for viewing the fascinating Indian landscape. 🇮🇳
A lie-flat reclining seat on the overnight train from Bergen to Oslo!
Would YOU spend a night here? 😃🇳🇴
Welcome aboard Uzbekistan's premier rail service, the high-speed Afrosiyob!
These high-speed units are capable of 250km/h, and I'm in VIP Class. Let's head to Samarkand! 😁🇺🇿
The NEW look of #Nightjet! I'm in one of the new Comfort-Liegewagen carriages tonight, for the ride over to Bregenz.
Nice to be trying something new on the Nightjet, first impressions are great, it's a big change from the older stock.
🇦🇹
A train on a boat, you don't see that every day! 😃👇
The ICE train they don't tell anyone about. 👀
I should mention, this is second class! 🇩🇪
Nice to meet for a few seconds in Bromley just now, whilst we were both rushing to catch trains! 😄
Without a doubt the coolest airport train I've ever seen! The design looks futuristic even now, and these trains are nearly 30 years old! 🇯🇵
First class ticket one-way costs ~£10 including seat reservation.
Got told off for taking photos of this Russian train at Vilnius station, so if you see these pictures, then don't. 😃
Arrived at Samarkand two minutes late.
Really liked the journey, especially for the price of €15 - no wonder it always sells out.
It's just a shame about the rough ride! 😁🇺🇿
Welcome aboard the Sunrise Express, Japan's last scheduled sleeper train! 😍
Tonight, I'll be riding on the floor (pretty much), in the nobi-nobi space that I reserved.
Not the most comfy way to travel! 😂🇯🇵
Doesn't sound like you're interested in science George!
Oh the things you see while travelling! 🇬🇧➡️🇩🇪
Here's a pair of former HST power cars in #Munich main station, now owned by #RailAdventure. Don't they look right at home next to DB's finest machines?
A fitting sight, before I head back home tomorrow. 😴
Welcome to the Asa Coast Railway, on the Japanese island of Shikoku. 🇯🇵
As a solution to decreasing passenger numbers, they introduced these convertible train+bus vehicles - how unique!
Time to board my InterCityNotte service all the way to Siracusa! I'm in an Excelsior suite for this trip, newly introduced to the route this year.🇮🇹
Excellent first journey for , personally I'm VERY impressed, and will be back again soon! 👌😍
These Škoda Transtech sleeper carriages are IMPRESSIVE! Never been on a double-deck sleeper train before, and was impressed. Also love the unique design.
Slovenia has a very interesting Pendolino fleet, consisting of just 3x three car units.
Historically they went to Venice, but I'll be catching this one over to Maribor. 🇸🇮
This is Kyrgyzstan's incredible VIP train, running between Bishkek and Rybachye on the shores of Issyk-Kul!
And what better way to take in the breathtaking mountain scenery than these HUGE panoramic windows? 😍🇰🇬
A quick look at the Deluxe compartment on the #alpensyltnachtexpress!
It contains double bunk beds, an en-suite with shower, and is a stunningly beautiful room.
I'm told this one always sells out, and it's no wonder why! 👀
Japan, my home for the next three weeks! I've planned an incredible trip, so stay tuned for more...now, I rest. 😅🇯🇵
The most troublesome high-speed train? Not anymore!
These former #FyraV250 sets are now reliably speeding through Italy, despite their difficult history. Don't they look amazing in the #Frecciarossa colours?
Welcome aboard Kazakhstan's flagship train! This is the wide-body Talgo fleet, that I'll be riding across the border to Uzbekistan.
Best of all, I've booked a private room with a shower! Let's hope it's a smooth journey... 😉🇰🇿
This is the Stepnogorsk Railway, an isolated route serving industries in this former closed city, yet disconnected from the national network of Kazakhstan.
It runs with these 1960s Soviet Elektrichkas, the last of their kind globally.
I really enjoyed this visit! 😁🇰🇿
Forgot just how much I liked Ljubljana and Slovenia as a whole! 🇸🇮
Perhaps the biggest problem with these new trains is the fact they are two car!
For so many of these routes, it's just not enough capacity, as I already found out.
Replacing fully loaded trains with ones that have even fewer seats was a terrible idea...
Today, we'll be taking a look at the famous Dutch VIRM train. But does this train live up to its international hype?

Gran Class LUXURY on Japan's famous #Shinkansen. This carriage runs on the Toki route from Niigata to Tokyo.
Bet you wish your country's trains looked like this! 😍🇯🇵
Arrived at Mumbai Central after a great 17hr trip! Formerly known as Bombay Central, this is certainly a beautiful station... 🇮🇳
New video! Today I'm trying out Switzerland's newest luxury train - the GoldenPass Express. 🇨🇭
WATCH: buff.ly/42mknuw
It's so weird to see such modern trains preserved! 🇯🇵
This futuristic looking JR 500 series Shinkansen sits in Kyoto Rail Museum. My favourite design!
⚠ WARNING! for people booking services.
For some unbelievably stupid reason, the website shows you the train times in YOUR timezone, not when the train actually departs.
This is terrible website design, and will likely lead to people missing their trains.
Certainly no complaints about the views on this train! Big panoramic cab view, and huge side windows make for a great experience. 🇯🇵
When I saw this was due, I just had to wait and see the express train to Kyiv, Ukraine! 🇺🇦❤️
Therapist: It's okay, the Talgo ICE TGV isn't real, it can't hurt you.
Talgo ICE TGV:
A few more classic Japanese trains. They sure have some interesting design ideas, but I really like them! 🇯🇵
Probably Europe's funniest name for an international train, this is the FUC service, running on the Trieste-Udine-Villach route! 🇮🇹🇦🇹
Also, accessibility isn't great. Most obviously, there's no .
But also, a poor provision of information. Most of the time, the screens display Welsh, with most announcements also being in Welsh.
This is of course useless for most people on-board... 🙄
Oh , what were you thinking!? Running a train like this in such a beautiful part of the world is truly unacceptable... 😡
This is the JR East mini-Shinkansen, Japan's SMALLEST high-speed train.
It runs on converted narrow gauge tracks to serve more cities, time for a ride! 😃🇯🇵
A few Shinkansen trains from the past, including the iconic bullet trains! 🇯🇵
Wrocław Główny station, truly one of the most beautiful stations in Poland! 🇵🇱
Travelling through Kazakhstan's endless steppe landscape, on a classic Soviet train. What an atmosphere! 😍🇰🇿
Hello from India's fastest train; the Gatimaan Express! We'll be reaching up to 160km/h (100mph) on the 1h40m trip to Agra. 🇮🇳
The JR 500 series Shinkansen is well and truly the most beautiful train of all time. Don't you agree? 😍🇯🇵
Now riding the #SuperCity #Pendolino, all the way from Košice to Praha hl.n.! 🇸🇰🇨🇿
Riding in First Class today, so I get a free drink of Bohemian Sekt and a snack from the ! 😋
Trying out the new service on their first public train! My journey is from Edinburgh to London - let's see what this one is like! 👀
295km/183 miles in 67 minutes! 🇯🇵
By far the fastest train journey I've ever made. Don't you wish your trains were like this? 👀😍
Talgo trains have a unique wheel design, with just a pair of wheels shared between carriages.
Unfortunately, this results in a VERY rough ride, with lots of bumps and rattles! 😵💫🇰🇿
Time to ride one of Japan's luxury trains, the 36PLUS3! 🇯🇵
This uses a heavily refurbished JR 787 series, the design of which is actually based on the TGV PSE. 😁
And whilst here, it'd be rude not to take a ride on one of Mumbai's commuter trains. First class has a 3+3 layout - but at least there's padding. 🇮🇳
One-man yellow diesel railcar, the cost-effective solution to running services on quiet rail routes in Japan. 🇯🇵
Last day in Japan, so let's ride the LUXURY train along the coast, this is the Saphir Odoriko! 😍🇯🇵
I'll be travelling in EC Executive Chair class for this 4.5hr ride on India's locally built high-speed train, with comfortable, modern, spacious seating. This is going to be an interesting trip! 🇮🇳
Here's Komfort Klase on Latvia's flagship route! I'm not really sure it's worth the upgrade, to be honest... 🤣🇱🇻
Hope you all have a good Christmas, I know it's gonna be difficult this year, but make the absolute best of it you can! 🥰 xx
Interior of my Excelsior suite for the ride down to Sicily, note it has four beds instead of the usual two/three, the extra one above the en-suite and shower. 🇮🇹
Sri Lanka is easily one of the most beautiful countries in the world, and naturally, rail is the BEST way to explore it. 🇱🇰
One of the stranger border crossings I've done, involving a minibus, and a walk along the track! 🇱🇻🇱🇹
Time to ride the newly refurbished InterCity Notte stock back to Rome! These were definitely needing a refurbishment, and it's come out nicely. 😃🇮🇹
Time to head to Kyrgyzstan! 🇰🇬
It's a 25 hour ride down to Bishkek on this Soviet carriage, which is from a very different era than the modern Astana-Nurly-Zhol station we depart from.
End of the line for the Santa Claus Express. 🎅🇫🇮
Just look at the size of these sleeper carriages too, no wonder they're so smooth!
Riding the Yakumo! This service from Okayama to Izumoshi is the last way to ride one of these beautiful ex-JNR electrics. 😃🇯🇵
On a quick visit to Italy, I just had to try out the refreshed #Frecciarossa 500 interior! Really like the tweaks, makes it feel a lot nicer. 😃🇮🇹
