Just a silly Aussie that makes videos about urbanism in Switzerland and other places.

📣 TRAIN Q&A 🔥

Have you ever had questions about Swiss trains like if they're faster than Superman or how many elephants would one weigh? Of course you have, why did I ask.

Well I'll be meeting a few train drivers that are very open to being bombarded with questions, so I can forward your questions as part of an upcoming video.

So comment your questions below, email them to me or on any other videos and I'll make sure the relevant authorities answer them.

P.s no that photo isn't AI. Thank you to the absolute top dog that did that. You know who you are 🔥

If I'm not mistaken, this is the NJ403 train from Amsterdam to Zürich.

This train is scheduled to arrive in Zurich at 8:05am.....I took this photo at 2:05pm in Altstetten.

Damn that's one delayed train.

Should I do a video about night trains?

Currently in Rome for non-channel related reasons. But it's urban planning is simoulatenously exciting and giving me the ick at the same time.

It's now on the list to rant and rave about when my accountant (the Mrs) approves travel expenses.

Bonus points if you can guess the location.

Are you f*&@ing serious?

I was having a nice morning until I saw this.

Thanks Albo.

There won't be a specific video about this decision, but it will be a big component of another one to let you fully grasp how stupid this is.

Finally got to try BLS' new MIKA train set. The exact same Stadler model as the heinously loud Südostbahn.

It's bloody quiet this one. 🔥🔇

Südostbahn, fix your trains.

Edit: ok it's not the exact same model but it's the same platform. You get the jist.

So it's happening.

The QLD government is effectively banning a cheap mode of transport for those who need it most (U16, elderly and the disabled) amid another oil crisis.

But don't worry, the state minister for transport has a plan.

I should clear up something about the FV Dosto. In my video about it I did say they fixed the toilet leaking issue. What I should have said is "mostly" fixed it. Most FV Dostos don't stink.


Except this one. This one bloody stinks.

G'day urban nerds.

I'm back in Brisbane visiting so my next video release will be a bit delayed as I'm too busy sampling coffee, sausage rolls and riding the new Temu Metro.

But, I'm gathering valuable info for more Brisbane urbanism content.

Stay tuned! And thank you for your attention on this matter

SBB must have watched my latest video about the failed FV Dosto and gave me the refurbished IC2000 train for my ride to Luzern today.

Quite

Stable

Doesn't stink of shit.
