🇫🇷🇩🇪Riding the Thalys Premium First Class from Paris to Dusseldorf



◆Thalys: Paris Gare du Nord→Dusseldorf Hbf

◆I’m a Japanese train enthusiast and stayed in Europe for about a month this summer.
This time I got to visit many European countries and ride their unique trains.

    "Oliver"… > "Au revoir"
    The first thing i see is the fact the exterior of our trains look dirty and used (passed colors, degraded stickers…).
    Details are always neglected in my country.

    I love how important food is is all of your videos. Thank you again for another great trip, Kuga!!!!

    Surprising old fashion (but useless) salad leafs on the plates… a way to forget the sense of details in european cooking.

    Showing my age…I wonder how many people saw 'Cologne Cathedral' and went 'Now there's some dedicated Ranma 1/2 fans!' 😉 Yes, I know it (and the city) are unrelated. But still…

    I remember riding the Thalys First Class from Amsterdam to Paris back in 2017 and it was mediocre, nothing compared to the Japanese trains. Also…the food was horrible.

    I noticed you were polite about the train meal, but didn't say anything complimentary. Glad you found some food from home! Thank you as always.

    Have a question. Why, do nearly every European train trip, seem to have passenger's going backwards? Very few are facing way of travel. I would be ill.

    I rode Thalys only twice between Cologne and Brussels: outbound in 2nd Class and inbound in 1st Class. Thalys is the worst train service I have ever ridden. Shockingly cramped seats in both classes. The German passengers who sat next to me told me how much they hated Thalys because of the seats. The horrendous 2nd Class seat with lack of legroom forced me to upgrade to 1st Class on the train home. Then, Deutsche Bahn started the Frankfurt-Brussels service with its ICE trainsets.

    Now you notice the difference in standards between Japanese and European rail: seats are dusty and toilets do not function. In comparison, Japanese trains are always looking spotless clean.

    I like the Thalys but I prefer the newer Thalys Ruby which are replacing this old Thalys trainset because it is starting to show its age pretty badly. Some say that the new seat are not as comfortable as the old one shown here, but I found them to be plenty comfortable.

    The little man on the roof of the Dusseldorf Central Station is an artwork by artist Paloma Varga Weisz. The German title is "Beulenmann" (Bubonic Man). The artist didn't reveal the meaning. The title leads in the direction of the bubonic plague disease. On the other hand, the guy looks too happy for being ill.
