Can you Visit Germany's 10 Largest Cities in 24 hours by Train?

It was my pleasure mate, thanks for the invite 🏆🍻

As a German (and maybe an employee of DB as well^^) I must say: Respect for taking on this challenge :D I don't get why people dislike the ICE 4 though. They are actually my second favourite ICE trains (after BR 411/415/ICE-T)

Stuttgart Hbf is not only going through renovations. It goes through a transformation. The project is called Stuttgart 21 (for 21st century station) and it is one of the most controversial projects that has ever been undertaken in Germany. The old station is set to be completely demolished and replaced by an underground station that doesn't require trains to change direction. There were huge protests against the project in 2010 which led to the Black Thursday, involving special operation police forces, hundrets of injured protesters, 99 court trails against both policemen and protesters. The whole project is almost 3 times over budget and 7 years behind schedule.

I really love how train YouTubers are always happy to share other channel recommendations. I really love the train cinematic universe

In addition to a genuine north-south high-speed line, we also need an east-west line in Germany. Preferably at a continuous speed of at least 250 km/h. Unfortunately, real progress has been blocked here in the north for more than 30 years now. We in Hamburg will have less rail traffic next year. The traffic turnaround in Germany is a motorway. Still and probably for the next 50 years.

Great video, as always. However, Augustiner is not a local beer in Leipzig :)

What a great idea for a challenge. I love how you did it and commented about it. Very entertaining. Thank you. And by watching it, one could think that German ICE trains are on time in more than 53%. Haha... Speaking about Hamburg Hbf: I hate Hamburg Hbf as much as you love it. It's pretty dark and like in twilight and the winding platforms are too narrow. I always try to use Hamburg Dammtor instead if possible.

One thing I love about the ICE is how clean and freshly painted the exteriors almost always are, even on the older ICE 1

Its nice that you got to meet up with Tom. He seems like such a nice fellow. Ive subbed his channel for a while now. Good stuff! Thanks for the video. You're great!❤🎉

I was in Germany in June, and the sight of crowded platforms due to delayed/ canceled trains was a common sight. I shrugged at the ICE24 hours challenge, but you did it!! Wow, congratulations, I had fun watching the video.

And yes, more challenges would be nice like travelling to the unknown, where you don't know what town you will end up in the end. like taken the first train that draws into a station, get off after x amounts of stops (needs to be a station that has more than one train line) and take the next possible train for there, get off at x amount of stops again and so on and so on. At the end of the day wherever you end up you spend the night and do dome sightseeing the next day.

What a great trip. Thankfully the only heavy late on this trip is because overrunning engineering work, not because weather or accidents. But because of that it makes your connection at next train is tighten and your heart beating faster. I think the next challenge probably same but in other country with similar size and having extensive passenger rail network like Germany, also not to forget the train always available 24 hours.

Wow, I must say you were lucky to take 10 trains and not get a huge delayed train. The last long-distance train I took had a delay of 3 hours, and that was one out of 3 I took that day. Anyways great video and we'd be more than happy if you visit us again!

Nice Video If you want to ride the ICE 2 you should probably do it sooner rather than later since they are starting to be phased out with the last one planned to run til 2027. So no hurry but something to keep in mind

Congrats! Very good video! I have a idea for another video: London - Brussels or Amsterdam - London in the same day!

Love this challenge! Great vid!

I just finished the video, and im impressed! It was such an interesting experience! One of your best videos for sure, keep up the good work!

Really nice video! It also shows how the punctuality of DB could technically quickly be improved a lot by just running fewer trains on the overcrowded network (like at night). This is obviously not a real solution but shows that there is more to consider when talking about punctuality

Great video !!

Thanks!! This was a fun video 😊
