I still don't get it. This connection is so unattractive because you gain absolutely nothing compared to the old route because of the trip to Wendlingen you first have to do. This train could have been tied through in some form to Stuttgart or at least to Plochingen. Perhaps that was not possible because the routes to be traveled are too busy for another hourly connection. But with the given service, it hardly surprises me that I have never been able to see a full train on this line. This emptiness would be the main reason for me to use the line, because the other trains between Stuttgart and Ulm via Geislingen are usually very full.
I'm not sure how they are designated on these trains but those compartments used to be second class when I travelled on them regularly at the end of the 2000s
Why not run this all the way to Mannheim Hauptbahnhof since the full name of the Ulm HSR is Schnellfahrstrecke Mannheim Ulm halfway point is Stuttgart Hbf. Sitting here in the late nights you will see DB Baureihe 185.2 187 MRCE Baureihe 182 185.5 Railpool Baureihe 185.6 Pressnitztalbahn 155 actually use the high-speed line Schnellfahrstrecke Stuttgart Ulm since the line is designed like Schnellfahrstrecke Hannover Würzburg which is in train Sim World 3. Schnellfahrstrecke Hannover Berlin Schnellfahrstrecke Rhein-Main are the first two German high-speed lines to have slab tracks
I really need to do a proper German travel trip
Oh my god that is fast
beau train allemand j'adore l'intérieur merci simpli railways
5:30 just let him sleep he worked hard for the country
Great trip, and yeah what a unique train.
Thank you Thibault, once again I'm envious of you!
Why making the Vectron for 230 km/h if there is a Taurus?
And why two locos for this light train?
The subtitles are WAY TOO SMALL! Please use an AI or similar text to voice apps to do voice over. I can’t deal with the TINY subtitles in my cell
Why is there almost never level-boarding in Europe. Don't they have ADA-like requirements for disabled passenger access? I'm always amazed how poorly they serve the disabled passengers. Even the new trains and new stations do not seem to ever have level boarding.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Those of us with not great eyes have a hard time reading that thin little white font on a light background. Something to increase the contrast or putting it in a text box would be nice
some commentary would be great.
I actually got up really soon on the first day of operation to catch the 3rd train ever on this Service. I think it's incredible that this is literally a regional / commuter train, hitting 200 km/h or 125 mph, while some countries can't even manage to get a decent bus network running…
The seats are Original IC 1 seats ,thats Whats Theo are so comfortable
This is really a unique train, happy you made a trip report on this 😊.
Do you know when the new trains are planned to enter service? (Of course, planned doesn't mean realized).
4:57 wait thats possible in germany?😂😂😂
Anyways nice video
About the acceleration, just wait untill the alstrom concordia runs in Denmark, they have the best acceleration for trains going 200 km/h! (The versions for the netherlands wont accelerate as fast, because of their DC overhead system).
Concerning 3:26: The IC 1 coaches are older than the 90s. They were modernized and sometimes even reconstructed in the 90s, but all of them were built before 1991, some even before 1980. Some of them are so outdated that they couldn't even go up to 200 km/h in the beginning and had to be retrofitted later.
Did I just miss something or did I see plugs on the armrests? (Because you said there were no plugs). To me it looked like there are some, but maybe I just saw it wrong yt…
I'm going to miss the Geislinger Steige
You miss the "Geislinger Steige" !
Important to mention that this train is included in 49€ monthly Deutschlandticket
2 Vectron AC (BR 193) is 2 x 6400 kW
The announcement of a train being canceled in the background at 3:10 gotta be the most DB-experience ever
So very nice.
GERMONEY
when the new train come to germany, these coachs will be selling to czech republic where they will be like super juper amazing new trains. i m pretty sure 😀
The train was on time? We have been inter-railing around Europe for the past fortnight, and I think only one, or maybe two, trains have been on time! The rest have varied between 15 minutes and 6 1/2 hours late!
@ Simply Railway can make your own Wikipedia ?
Fantastic service! Competitive and attractive.
The «TER 200» runs between Bâle SNCF and Strasbourg Ville and also runs at 200km/h. According to French Wikipedia it runs since 1991.
Nice trip !
kartun peler
I rode that IRE twice last weekend. On my Deutschticket which is only 49 € per month for (almost) all regional and local transport in the whole country 😉
