I will keep asking these questions till i get a clear idea if i can do what I would like when i get to Amsterdam. I want to then take a train to Nice France, but I would need a list of "Stops" so i can get out and stay a while, in different towns, as I travel towards my final destination. Is the such a list?
@OLDERBLUE You can stop anywhere you want. The train system is pretty thorough there. The Amsterdam to Nice path includes Brussels and Paris. I'd done it many times. I'd recommend Paris and Lyon of course. Aix en Provence too would be nice. Brussels I don't care much about.
Thank you so much.. spending a lot of time on Youtube certainly is getting me familiar with what i want to do, along with comments like yours... Thank You..!
@OLDERBLUE No problem. How much time do you have? I like Amsterdam but I think about 3 or 4 days is fine. Brussels I've been to many times and but am not impressed with. It's sort of a grungy party town. Paris of course is wonderful but you really have to set aside some time for it. I live there in the summers and I haven't seen everything. If the weather was perfect I'd say 10 days would be the smallest amount of time I'd spend there. There will be a lot of people who disagree.
@OLDERBLUE. Those people are the ones that do Rome, London and Paris in 2 weeks and miss all three. I see them jump out of buses in front of the Eiffel Tower, take a snapshot and jump back in. That's not the same as laying there staring up at the sky waiting for it to start sparkling and listening to the collaborative gasp come across the Champs de Mars. Lyon again is very nice, Aix en Provence, Avignon. The best resource for sure - aardvarktravel forums (google it)
@Badsellcut Looks like we are all screwed. I didn't know that Europe has similar issues to the US when it comes to shady government. I do know about the financial issues of Europe but not the political issues between nations of the continent. I know that if the US collapses one day, I really don't give a f**k! I think it would actually bring people together.
Europe always does a better job at everything compared to the US. Is so sad how our government holds us back by lobbyists buying politicians out! And another thing that holds us back, is so many Americans with the "America is the best place on earth" ego! Because of the ego it blinds you from the truth of why we don't have things like this train. Go Europe! For giving your people options instead of keeping options from them. America is not free, its all fraud!
The only good thing about America is everything is cheaper there than it is in the UK. My Dad bought a car for £25,000 and in the US, the same car cost just $25,000, which is virtually half price!
Yeah but it's not like the US are not capable of building fast trains - they rpobably don't need to because everyone flies everywhere. Nice to hear an American that's aware of the big ego though, LOL!
@Fizmoo the Northeast is tooo crowded and they are WAY overdue for a track upgrade, its too curvy idk why they even established the Acela project there but it's still a successful project. I do think that it is vital for amtrak to survive with another high speed project on the Capitol Corridor
@srabchun The only thing I agree with you about there is the American ego. We suffer the same fools in government and we pay taxes for something we don't have any say in as taxpayers whilst funding the development of poor Eastern European countries that haven't got a pot to piss in. They'll drag Europe down the drain one day. Britain needs to get out whilst it still can. Europe is a fraud! I'm fucking off to Australia.
I believe even your Acela can do 150 mph only for short distances and is limited to 100 mph for most of its journey. Other American trains away from the East Coast tend to be desperately slow.
Eurostar runs between London, Brussels and Paris. In Germany you will see the German ICE and Thalys PBKA (Paris, Brussels, Koln-Cologne, Amsterdam) high speed trains.
It starts at London St. Pancras, then goes to Brussels in Belgium then to Paris in France. I'm not sure which comes second and third though, either Brussels or Paris.
there is a great railway crossing in Calais. i dont know if the train stops there. but if it does, you may even travel to Madrid from London by train. From Calais where the tunnel opens in France to Bordeaux for instance- you may travel easily. Look in Goggle Earth, the France opening... see with your eyes what complex Railway crossing is there.
I'm not a great train fanatic, but Eurostar rocks. I live about half a mile from the high speed line. It doesn't sound like a train it sounds like a jet aircraft traveling on land.
Lets compare. Here in the US the right wingers fight every year to destroy Amtrac (small public passenger train service). The US won't build up its train system even though it's totally paranoid about airplane terrorism and it's planes are so jammed that people routinely go nuts waiting to take off.
CAN I PLEASE HAVE IT OVER AGAIN AND THIS TIME BE BORN IN EUROPE!
Yes, Diana, I was born in England now live in SO. Calif. and the US needs to spend its money on its formerly wonderful train system instead wasted in the deserts of Mesopotamia. The Train between Dallas and Fort Worth (Trinity Railway Express) needs to be double tracked. Again sports stadia seem to be a higher priority.
I'm almost 60. My mom was an immigrant from Scotland, so maybe that's why I'm odd. My country (culturally I do feel at home here) has the oddest priorities you can imagine!
Another example: For my whole life we've been spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year on the military, but our schools are chronically short of money. Every year in my office 2 or 3 moms will be soliciting for their kids'schools via selling special candy, etc.

It has nothing to do with the failed attempt called APT. APT was a tilting train, like Italy's Pendolino, with the difference that Pendolino does work.
Actually, the Eurostar reaches speeds of 208 mph. There is no law restricting high-speed train speeds, many services like Eurostar are always trying to go faster. Like TGV and DB, who now operate trains at speeds of 200 mph in regular revenue service; TGV recently had a train reach 357.8 mph. America is building new lines that will have train speeds of 220 mph.
the eurostar is great but i think the german "ICE" is the most beautiful highspeed-train in the world and has got the best design of all but nevertheless, a great video ;-)
My six year old great nephew is a Eurostar-obsessive, so I've sent him a copy, as he's just got his own email address. Had a model with full layout last Christmas. Thank you. I was trying to think of somethingto email that he'd like.
