The famous English landscape painter William Turner was so impressed at his journey by the romantic beauty of the middle Rhine Valley that he invented castles on his paintings. - Cheers, Heinz

AC not working... classic Deutsche Bahn. Never gets old. It actually tells you something that DB even has a specific red streamer at the ready which specifically says "Klimaanlage defekt" which they use to seal off the seats... that's how often this happens. XD Btw., at 13:05 you're crossing by the Loreley, which is a big slate rock and very well known in Germany due to the myth of a young maiden there luring shippers to their death with her beautiful songs. As to your question at the end of the vid: I love the Rhine valley route, but I'm from Ingolstadt and utility and speed are bigger priorities for me - I've family in Cologne, and it's just much easier and faster to take the direct train from Ingolstadt to Cologne - barely 4.5 hours, and 3 of those are between Ingolstadt and Frankfurt. If I'd take the scenic route instead of the high speed line between Frankfurt-Flughafen and Bonn, I'd probably need 6+ hours...

Hey, Dylan! How's it going? Well, bloke, it's an amazing video, I appreciate the conventional way to travel in Germany!! It's a shame that Brazil called off practically all long distance train routes, today just having two in all whole country... Next year, I'll travel around the Europe by train, and seeing your videos (not just your videos, but Superalbs, Non Stop, Thibault by Simply Railway, and so forth), I'm able to have a glimpse about how to proceed in certain situation and how my future trip could be. I really enjoy the voiceover video, how you notice, I use it to practise the listening skills, and day by day, I see that I'm doing up on my fluency in English, I pretty get the entire narration. One more time, Congratulations for the awesome video! Success for you, ever!! Cheers from São Paulo, Brazil.

12:58 Look up the "Rheingold". It doesn't exist anymore, sadly, apart from some historic trips, but it used to be a prestigious pre-IC train meant to show off the beauty of the Rhine Valley, they even had a "dome car" with elevated seating that had glass all around (except for the floor)

But the AC is not powerful enough in times of climate change, which is the reason why the federal railway administration (EBA) deems the operation unsafe beyond 2025 in the current form. Due to this DB is forced to accelerate the retirement of these coaches.

The buffet cars do not have AC built in (so no AC failure in that case), hence there are sliding windows. But many train enthusiasts like those carriages, because of the good views and the experience of holding your head out into the breeze through an open window ;)

8:29 is just a flooded, former sandpit. The river Rhine is 2 or 3 km to the West and the train won't see it until the southern outskirts of Bonn. And the bistro car was a former InterRegio one without AC anyways.

Another wonderful journey from your summer 2020 travels. The layout of these classic carriages is really welcoming. The compartments are so well lit and cheery. Unlike the sombre atmosphere of the so called art-deco era. I'm glad you showed the journey along the banks of the Rhine, something I would love to experience, although time, other priorities and finance may well be against me. This is the wonderful thing about RU-vid and presenters like you. You are able to share your joyful experiences with anyone who cares to select your channel. Thanks again for this journey experience and please stay safe and well. Cheers from Michael downunder in locked down Melbourne.

Unless I'm really in a hurry I would always prefer classic compartement travelling. Unfortunately, ICs in general and particulary with second class compartment coaches have become very rare in Germany. Some decades ago comfortable compartement trains with broad seats were standard in first and second class on long distance lines. In summer you could open the windows and having the air stream around your head. Days long gone...

On the BR 101 (we usually call her one hundred one): DB has some 101s (4 locos), that were certified for 220km/h those are operating the 2 former Metropolitain Coaching Stock (now revamped and operating as ICE trains but still hauled/pushed by their 101s). The Coaching Stock of the Metropolitain sets (former Tz930 and Tz931) is the fastest conventional coaching stock on DB... Metropolitain was supposed to be a executive style set operating in 2 sets from one from Hamburg Main Station to Cologne Main Station and the other doing the same journey in reverse at arround the same time... doing the trip in 3h 30mins todays operation for the same DB is 3h 40mins on Spinter trains (that are often hauling the MET trains) and 4h 50min for regular routes... As it was an executive product MET sets used to only carry first class coaches... With them being reintruduced as ICE their seating even in second class is above the usual ICE seating... Metropolitain was discontinued arround 16 years ago... That being said 160 is the speed limit for regular signal based train security systems (PZB).. for more than 160km/h every train must be booked into to either LZB or ETCS signaling. LZB/ETCS fails the speed will be reduced to 160km/h as [16] x10 is the highest signaled speed allowed in all signaling systems within DB.

After we in Blighty invented the Steam Locomotive and the Iron Rails to run it on, it didn't take long for the first part of Mainland Europe to cotton on, Belgium was the very first, with the first line between Schaerbeek to Mechelen. Next, it was those wealthy Bavarians, who got in those Stevenson's on the case in Núrnberg, the rest is History. DB, is one of the main players over there, my all time favourite German E-loks, BR143 and BR155, both originally of the DR. As you said Dylan, it was very hot on the day of this trip, so overstretched aircons undoubtedly were DB's bugbear that day. German efficiency, does have its limits though, just like anywhere else. Your journey looked a bit like what it was copied from, Gods Wonderful Railway (IKB's) GWR. Those DB IC Coaches, look so handsome and well fitted out. Great Report Mister, your little error at the end, it was a hot day after all, forgiven Dylan!

It's interesting that both you and Simply Railways are transitioning to more voice-over formats. I'm still not sure how I feel about that, honestly; while in some ways it helps to be more clear about the information, I won't deny that there was a certain relaxing charm to the text-only presentation, more of a sense of seeing things from your eye view, able to imagine being there myself. Regarding German railway stations, I certainly won't deny the advantage of them doubling as shopping centers; often as a tourist who will be staying somewhere for an extended period, there's no need to find any local shopping districts because everything you need can be bought from the station. That said, I do regret that German stations have sacrificed style and aesthetics in favor of convenience; Germany used to have some of the most gorgeous stations in the world, but most were bombed during The War or fell into disrepair during the Cold War. Even some of those that did survive have been gutted for this new wave; Hamburg Hofbahnhof comes to mind. Now they may be among the most efficient and convenient of stations, but they're also among the ugliest. I would even dispute the efficiency in some cases; if you have less than 5 minutes to make a transfer, the last thing you want is for your way to be blocked by an Apple Store or to have platform signs be confused with adverts for kebabs.

I certainly prefer the captioned videos rather than the voiceover. It feels less intrusive without the voice, in my opinion. Voiceovers have been done to death already by every other content producer on YT. The captioned videos are Dylan's USP.

Have ridden between Dusseldorf/Cologne & back again a few times before Covid, great simple trip between two great German cities. 👍

Attention: don't never say t about both cites Cologne and Düsseldorf they are great, because their enmity as to which city is the better. An absolute danger to life and limb is when you praise the beer of the Düsseldorfer (Alt) in Cologne and the beer of the Cologne (Kölsch) in Düsseldorf. As a Bavarian, I think both beers are borderline, which I don't say in public in either city. - Cheers, Heinz

Fun fact: Bonn was actually West-Germanys capital between 1949 till the 1990s, due to the split between West and East Germany.

I would chose the slower train. Nice to hear your voice, Dylan. I would have bpught food from McDonald's at the train station. Something made me hungry when I saw it. 😁
