    Doth mine eyes deceive me? An HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTE EPISODE??????
  • @justinp.2655
    Fred talking trains for an hour and a half?! My day is made.
  • @49Ibanez
    As a Brit this dropping now is just adding insult to injury...
  • @memofromessex
    This is sticking the knife into the UK. We can't even get a railway from London to Birmingham, let alone to the far far distant land of Manchester
  • @katie.on.fire.82
    OMG. An hour and a half of B1M is EXACTLY what I need tonight. Informative, entertaining, soothingly narrated and for 90 whole minutes? I might actually be calm when I fall asleep
  • @SilaMC
    That HS2 project seems pretty cool. I wonder when it will be done💀
  • @sulaimanm10
    As a fellow Brit, I'm just here to say RIP HS2. This administration couldn't plan a piss up in a brewery
  • YouTube needs more content creators like The B1M. Good researched information, presented from a neutral point of view. I highly appreciate your work, done with these projects.
  • @usernamemehr
    As a Brummie it's heart-breaking HS2 will not go to Manchester and Leeds - the government are ensuring it will never happen by selling off land on the route up north. Why can't we be an ambitious country anymore?
  • @ericcoskun1
    Not only is China's HSR network amazing, but the incorporation of 3rd party services into the network will blow everyones mind. I travel on HSR in China regularly and at times had McDonalds delivered to my seat when we pull up to a major station, friends have had Starbucks or Pizza delivered to their seats, all ordered through the app. You can practically order anything you want.
  • Railfans rejoice! Another B1M video focusing on railroads. It’s even an hour long. Question isn’t this a compilation of railroad projects that B1M has discussed in the past? I know they did a video on all of these railways in the past except the Australian Cross River Rail.
  • @Samuel_J1
    Even if it's older content compiled, this is something I've wanted for years. It's a great way to find everything on a topic in one place! And i love long content too!
  • @TheKkpop1
    200 years ago British built the first railway for Chinese. But China has built 42,000km HSR, it is sharing its technology with Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia at a cost 1l5x cheaper than UK and 5x faster on completion.
  • @Zichoe
    also note that China also building railway projects in southeast asia, they are building it in thailand, laos, indonesia and malaysia at the same time
  • I noticed that city planning looks more structured and organized in China than in Japan or the US. Could B!M make a video on urban planning in China vs Japan vs US?
  • @pozspeakerau
    ABSOLUTELY amazing projects, but something is missing, how are high-speed railway line infrastructure maintained, I think this could be an interesting documentary...
  • @HeisenbergFam
    You know its deadly serious when bro casually delivered +1 hour documentary
