On board TGV at 300 km/h speed

[Cenafu89]

At 0:24 u can see signs btw ;)

Very fast.......

[Cenafu89]

It really doesnt look like 300 Km/h....

[LifeforArt]

Shit - No TGV-Track - No TGV-Train - Wrong Trackside! Filmed from last wagon and played back. And Speed 300 km/h? LOL

[elacubcaje]

On a pas l'impression d'être a 300KM/H en cabine de TGV j'en ai fait plusieurs fois l’expériences et le bruit est assez assourdissant dificile de parlé avec le conducteur

[murakwan29]

It feels like 100 km/h to me

[abdullah474]

140-180 not more

[slimmerikje]

@abdullah474

wrong it is 300 km/h. you can not see it good because the camera is zoomed in tto much.

[abdullah474]

@slimmerikje

aha

thx :)

[ApolloWasReal]

I don't see any fencing around the right of way. How are animals (and people) kept off the tracks?

[rbjplay13]

@ApolloWasReal Animals I'm not sure about but people could use some common sense.

[ApolloWasReal]

@rbjplay13 Common sense isn't all that common. Just look at all the grade crossing accidents in the US. I think it should be mandatory for a high speed railway to eliminate grade crossings and to fence off the right of way.

[csabeszkovics10]

Fail!



[Tigfist]

300 km/h ? noobs

[TRSF1]

cool what about a car in front of train...no one inside of corse, just to see the wreck ;P

[underverser]

Hey dude! Your on the wrong railwaytrack! :)

[fndjfgsdk]

now imagine the effect of a small coin on the track, when the trains suspension system is not working at its best ;)

"Could somebody get the scraper, the passengers are stuck in the roof" :)

[lorirocks777]

@fndjfgsdk A small coin wouldn't do anything... not to an 80 ton locomotive. The coin would probably end up flat.

[fndjfgsdk]

@lorirocks777 A big coin then ;)

[dati1992]

my bicycle goes faster

[mynextpost]

180kmh

[MrBriancollison]

300kmh is 186mph, wow !!!!

[rbflowin]

Damm!!! if was the driver i wudve been hypnotised lookin out of the glass.

[fxgamer0809]

no way thats not 300 km/h

[chrissdangerous]

i dont know which problem u guys got?!?! are u thinking it has to go/look fast like an airplane that flys with about 500-900km/h!?!?

[joanbird]

@chrissdangerous also on an airplane it wouldn't seem much faster! It's just the acceleration and the enviroment that make you "feel" the velocity. You could travel with the speed of light around the universe and would feel bored!

[kikko147]

se va a 150 km/h è èure assai, altro che 300...

[nejckra]

this should be shot from the outside (yeah, I read the discription, it says on board video, but still)

[sdfg88]

you could also change the frame rate to make the train go faster!!

MAGIC!

[danny7931]

thid isn´t 300 km

this is 100km

[swepower123]

@danny7931 Fail

[CalixteAlpes]

Réglementairement, les agents de conduite de la SNCF n'ont pas à faire venir de personnes internes ou externes à la SNCF dans l'habitacle de conduite si ces personnes n'ont pas de formation aux sécurités des circulations ferroviaires. Le cas contraire, il faut une autorisation écrite et signée de l'établissement du dit agent de conduite, ou de la direction régionale de la SNCF si c'est une personne qui fait elle même la démarche. L'opération J'aime le train n'existe plus depuis 2010. Un cheminot

[Modeltrainguy]

Nice! =D

[Alsacien67000]

ovigica

It isn't 70 km/h, the train has a speed of about 150 km/h

[dav6032]

@Alsacien67000 2 pylons /seconds it's about 300km/h

[jeffdarga100]

I like that the driver sounds the horn for the folks on the bridge.

[fechasoncha]

Its 80 or 100 km max.

[magnomen1978]

300-?  MAX- 120... XD

[townwood83]

Why are the french driving in the left side ?

[jlj025151]

@townwood83 wi meisuer.... aw ahaw

[covladuk1985]

this is slow zzzzzzz

[gokaydince]

I don't think that this is 300 km/h. The first passage through a block boundary is at the 26th second. The blocks are about 1500 meters long, so the train should pass through a block boundary every 18 seconds at 300 km/h.

[benedikt11]

neeeeveeeeeerrrrr NOOOOO WAAYYY ... Max 120 ...

[Sebastian3103]

never 300km/h

[blackhoumor]

@Sebastian3103

true, i dont think this is 300km/h not even 200

[Parrambusties]

98 % of mosquitos on the window, puaaggg!!! LOL

[jice0610]

in europ all trains ever run on the left , it is sure !

[dogbite222]

not in Italy.

[Random22222y]

Not in Germany, where they run on the Right.

[quikangi]

take the train and you'll see how long it takes you to go from st pierre des corps and paris and you'll find out , and enjoy a nice trip to paris .good luck

[filipe026]

quel rêve ! : etre à cette place dans un TGV ... ouah !

[videocreatorgr]

Do trains in France run on the left side or is the video reversed? I think it's the second.

[flyguy1237]

I'm pretty sure they drive on the left. Otherwise the sound would be messed up. And the truck is driving the correct way too.

[videocreatorgr]

Now, I know. I haven't found since now any video of a T.G.V running acording to right hand traffic. What about the driving? I know that usually the driver's side is the side of the traffic on trains and on cars right hand traffic = left hand driving, but what's happening in France?

[swiitzerland]

@videocreatorgr

AFAIK, the driver's seat is located in the middle of the cabin. It's not necessary to exactly watch where you're going like in a road vehicle, so that's pretty much irrelevant.

[ejdf870]

I'm not sure, but I am a NYC subway train operator, and we drive our trains on the right. Maybe these are different?

[mulad]

The French rail system is mostly driven on the left-hand side, but there are some parts in Paris and parts of eastern France that had been part of Germany back in the late 19th century.

Well, they seem to be more consistent than the rails up here around Minneapolis. There's a BNSF line near me that usually runs on the left, but sometimes things go the opposite way.

[orangesbananas]

they run on the left.

[rsheckmansc]

about 100km/h

[h3onza]

The train passes almost two pillars per second. The distance between the pillars is 50 m. That means the train is travelling at approximately 80 meters per second (290 kmh) ;-)

[umulius71]

dosent look like 300! I have seen 250 live and thats looks more faster then this...!

Recorded movies looks faster when u see it afterwards....!

[DiegoFCSud]

Where goes this trein?

[18vallancel]

It reminds me of Rita at Alton Towers.

[Klitkomander]

hey party people!!!!

i made a calculation to proof that the train drives about 300 km/h

I read the masts( pylons, towers) of high-voltage power lines have a distance of 75 m to the next one . As the train drives 75 m in about 1 sec ( like in the vid) he has a speed of about 270 km/h.

And he is a bit faster then 1 sec ( about 0.8 sec)

So it looks slow ... but it's fast ! :)

Have a nice day all of u!!!!

Greeetz Klitkomander ;)

[evans4416]

@Klitkomander nice

[dexter2302]

@Klitkomander I know that the distance between 2 pylons is 50m. And to measure the speed easier, you just calculate the time between 10 pylons.

[shepherdtotheweak]

@Klitkomander NERD!!!!!



[kvbcorrie]

@shepherdtotheweak not nerd you just stupid.

[abhinayan27]

@Klitkomander You could have just read the title of the vid couldnt you??

[theEnbsify]

@Klitkomander I used your idea and clocked the train at 0.71s(average of 4 samples using a stop watch) from each pylon, gives an exact of 300km/h.

[slaweks2002]

@Klitkomander u wrong as I can see , that train passes 2 poles in 1 sec. which is 150m check the time and video then make your calculations have nice day

[pingpongpung]

@slaweks2002 And your point is? With your data the train would even be faster.

[danilupascu]

@Klitkomander 75 meters you say? That means some trees in that vid (trees, not bushes) are around 25-30 meters in width. Where the f**k is it filmed in-between baobab trees?

Have a nice day as well...

[lol0924]

Je pense que le Train a Grande Vitesse, il a l'air de nous faire plaisirs parce qu'il peut nous toujours donner une belle vue des fenetres, tout ce qui nous touche. :-)

[ovigica]

300 or 70 km/h :))

[ado789456]

like I on my bike

[pace461]

@ovigica 73 Km/h :D:D:D

[FreaxxParanoid]

@ovigica You should search for trains in Romania and have a laugh xD

[87Crimineeltjuh87]

It looks like 80 kmh

[habbobaby1]

i just thought the same

[xm4yh3mx]

no this train is actually going about 180 mph

the reason you think its slow is because you're viewing out of the driver's window

Think about it with cars, at 80 mph on a highway u don't feel the speed when you're looking out the driver's window, but when you look sideways or see a car passing that fast, you realize its true speed.

[simpletimes222]

Ive seen vids inside the cab at 186mph and looks faster than this!

[Gr33nd0g]

'i brake for nobody'

[halfcymruhalfdevon1]

rollercoster ride!

[b0m83d]

must be fun to be a driver

[LUKASCTL]

SUPER JEST NIEZŁY :D daje 5 :)

[AKAIGXF71]

Excellent!
