A few months ago we took a train trip to 3 different countries to visit three different natural history museums, and it was great!! Well, except when we tried to get to Germany ... 😬

    To those people upset at my "transphobe" comment, make sure you watch this video so that you know who you're "defending": https://youtu.be/Ou_xvXJJk7k And yes, I stand by what I said. If you think that this comment is wrong or exaggerated, it is not. Watch these videos: https://youtu.be/_GBUArD51KY https://youtu.be/7gDKbT_l2us https://youtu.be/EmT0i0xG6zg https://youtu.be/dSfKKxyC1Cw?t=322 Also, this video is being brigaded by a bunch of bigots from neo-nazi forums, so to those people I say, thanks for the engagement! I have decided to donate all of the ad revenue from this video to an LGBT charity here in the Netherlands (and the longest-standing LGBT advocacy group in the world), the COC: coc.nl/ The only hate I allow in my comments is towards car dependency. Trains, Trams, and Trans rights! 🏳‍
  • @domramsey
    Personally I like to commute on a dinosaur while learning about the history of extinct trains.
  • @The8BitPianist
    "That is, until we tried to get to Germany" As a German, I feel the pain
  • The fact that trains are competitive on so many routes DESPITE chronic under funding is honestly all the endorsement they should need
  • @carlospcpro
    “You pay nothing, the same the British paid for these artifacts” 😂😂
  • @manneg
    I felt a bit targeted when I am watching this on a train in seat 61. What a coincidence
  • @JasonTurk85
    38 seconds into the video: Oh nein, I see this one coming.... 54 seconds: and there it is.
  • @Robert0Pirie
    The "Human for Scale" on the sign is for people with vision disabilities. People can feel the size of the little figure next to the dinosaur reference because both are embossed on the placard!
  • @anxietify
    Thank you for not blaming Deutsche Bahn for all the problems, and correctly saying that it's due to decades of ignorance towards rail quality.
  • @TheBlueWizzrobe
    Deutsch Bahn cancelations are my favorite recurring character in Jet Lag, happy to see it referenced here to prove the point.
  • @Kaepsele337
    As a German without a car, this was not surprising in the least. Always plan a backup route! The previous government (which was in government for 16 years) really did us dirty, I hope the investments of the current one can fix the mess. One thing they already did and is awesome is the Deutschland-ticket. For just 49EUR a month, you can take any bus and train in Germany except for ICE and IC trains. It makes it much less frustrating if a train is cancelled if you didn't pay for it.
  • @lours6993
    On trains, “you’ve got mobile service all the time…”. Yes, but please stick to messaging, email and chat if you’re at your seat. Don’t be that guy who thinks it’s cool to hold a conference call at full voice in the midst of a quiet railway carriage full of people silently working or chilling. In France this will get you a swift reminder to make calls from the vestibule at the end of the carriage or in the bar car. The same is announced regularly on SNCF, SNCF Lyria and Eurostar at least.
  • No politician in Germany wants to invest in the train system as half the country lives of the car industry. Its so frustrating
  • @Lafrono
    As a german who relies on public transportation for 15 years, when you said "until we tried to get to germany", I started laughing und then I started crying
  • "People Prefer cars". Meanwhile, every kid everywhere: "Dinosaurs and Trains!"
  • @davidwright7193
    As a note of information, Britain didn’t pay Egypt nothing for the Egyptian artefacts in the British Museum. We paid the French nothing for them. It was the French, specifically Napoleon Bonaparte. who paid the Egyptians nothing for them.
  • @Chamarel
    They should make a sleeper train to Scandinavia. It now requires changing trains twice just to get to Copenhagen. The length of the trip is ideal for a sleeper train which requires no changes.

    I'm in the UK, in the North of England. Today my friend had to travel 23 miles from my place to his place. He chose to do this by train. It should have taken 49 minutes. The train was supposed to come at 12:55 and get him to his station by 13:44 but due to engineering works it had been cancelled and replaced with a bus service. The bus service was supposed to come at 13:21. It was late by 15 minutes and didn't come til 13:36. Instead of taking him the full way, it only took him to the next train station. It was late to that train station and missed the train he needed to get on to get to his station, meaning he eventually got on that train at around 15:30 and wasn't home until after 16:00. A 23 mile journey took my friend over 3 hours. This is not an uncommon occurrence. This is almost every weekend and has been like this for as long as I can remember. Not only that, but the ticket cost over £8... to take a journey that would have been quicker by bicycle (but there's 0 bike infrastructure) Outside of London, and especially in the North, the UK is screwed when it comes to public transport and nobody is talking about it.
