Your camera best picture thanks man

@peterelvery 9 месяцев назад

Two things. Finnish trains are wider than trains in most other countries due to the wide loading gauge. If by "narrow" you mean the cabin sides taper inwards at the top, yes, this is necessary because, like the ETR610, the train tilts. Also, the benefit of the tilting system isn't that it allows the train to go any faster than a non-tilting train. What it does is make the journey more comfortable than in a non-tilting train at the same speed.

@AddDoesStuff 5 месяцев назад

The pendolino does reach the speed of 220km/h regularly, the Lahti Kerava HSR is set at a allowed operating speed of 220km/h for one of the purposes to let pendolino run that speed. it reached a maxinum speed of 242km/h at test runs.

@yagi3925 9 месяцев назад

This reminds me of the train trip I took from Lahti to Helsinki several years ago - but it was a regular IC, as there were no Pendolini on this route yet.

@Niksun_seikkailut 26 дней назад

In fact the pendolino can get up to 220 kmh at kerava-lahti track part and also parkano-Seinäjoki Track part and ALSO kemi-tervola-muurola part😅👊🤩

Sm5 isn't a VR class, but JKOY class. JKOY = "Pääkaupunkiseudun Junakalusto Oy", which is a rolling stock company owned by the cities of Helsinki region. VR is only the current operator.

@SIperianSusi83 6 месяцев назад

Back in the 90s the express trains could have up to 15 wagons hauled by a single Sr1 locomotive. Sometimes 2 locomotives. And I have a video where the Pendolino reaches about 220 km/h. This was back in 2015, however I only filmed through the window.

@doc7austin 6 месяцев назад

oki; i guess the pendolino reaches that speed today only if it is delayed

@SIperianSusi83 5 месяцев назад

@@doc7austin Yup I guess so.

@TheLapari Месяц назад

@@doc7austin It should regularly reach 220km/h between Kerava and Lahti, since it's the only high speed rail in Finland. However they don't use the tilting system of Pendolino's anymore, so they aren't any faster in the curves than regular InterCity.

@laju 9 месяцев назад

Yes they do go 220 km/h when needed - for example when catching up a delay. Only on this section of track though. 200 km/h elsewhere.

@klapiroska4714 9 месяцев назад

Yeah. The current timetables have enough slack in them that if everything is running well, 180 to 190 is enough to stay on time between Tikkurila and Lahti. Anyway, currently there isn't a section of track where Sm3 (Pendolinoi) trains are scheduled to be faster than IC trains.

@basstrip73 9 месяцев назад

Strange that you found it narrow, it’s actually quite wide - over 3 metres (as compared to 2.9 in DE/AT.)Thanks to a more generous loading gauge than in west and Central Europe the trains in Finland have the roominess of American trains but use newer and better maintained equipment. Even in Norway and Sweden which have standard gauge tracks the trains are generally wider than German and Austrian ones. Anyway, nice trip report. Much prefer this laid back style of video to the monetized “review” format which are bizarrely repetitive and they constantly interrupt their videos with distracting self-promotional stuff. Always look forward to your uploads man, thanks.

@klapiroska4714 9 месяцев назад

I don't know why, but I also find Pendolino trains to be more narrow. I guess it's mainly because of the narrower doors (IC trains have wider ones)

@rolandkronqvist1034 4 месяца назад

220 km/h is what Pendolino runs at maximum speed. The timetables are also planned based on the train running at 220 km/h, on the sections where it is supposed to do so. The train runs at those speeds it is allowed to, depending on the sections speed limit. If you recorded when the train ran at 180 km/h, it is mostly because of speed limits on that section, not because it didn't want to. From a technical point of view, the infrastructure in Finland is very well suited for high speed trains. The track gauge is 1524 mm and the catenary line voltage is 25 kV, both which is very well suited for higher speeds.

@doc7austin 4 месяца назад

i guess the 220 km/h may only be reached if there are major delays of the pendolino train

@rolandkronqvist1034 4 месяца назад

@@doc7austin No, that is what the train runs at the sections where it is allowed to do that, and then it is also supposed to that also. Otherwise the time schedule won't hold up.

@SportSoulLife 4 месяца назад

@@doc7austin The physical rails in Finland are quite old, so built at a time before they would even dream of high speed passenger traffic, meaning curves are too right and the ground not reinforced enough (many networks were built during the time Finland was a dutchy of Russia IIRC, thats why we have the old russian gague) Furthermore they have been negoected for a while now, so there are additional speed limits on bad track stretches and bridges. From what I gather its being improved now though, and depending on the next government after 4 years, a new high speed (300 km/h) stretch will be built between Helsinki and Turku, to be completed in 2031

@TheLapari Месяц назад

@@SportSoulLife Kerava-Lahti rails geometry is designed for high speed (300km/h) usage and is a fairly new track. Pendolino moves there at 220km/h, however they don't use the tilting system anymore so they might have slowed down the speeds there too.

@cestmoi1262 9 месяцев назад

Our train consists of "only" 6 passenger cars. Seeing how empty it is I would have thought that one or max 2 cars would be sufficient. OK: the restaurant car was pretty full so let's add another car.

@blechtic 9 месяцев назад

I think you have to ride past Lahti if you want to see the trains stretch their legs.

@smn_link 9 месяцев назад

I really like the Pendolino, maybe because it's Italian like me. But I notice that this FIN model also shakes quite a bit at high speed. Is it my impression? Thank you for yours beautiful videos 😊

@pasikallinen 9 месяцев назад

I think the last tilting system in use was disabled in June 2021. There were far too many problems with it due to freezing and snow.

@TealJosh 9 месяцев назад

In Pendolinos perhaps? But I'm fairly sure I've sat in an IC train with an active tilting system since then. Or maybe not... I am a monthly train traveller and I don't know if I've encountered it that recently. Maybe it has been completely disabled across the fleet.

@eemeli1744 9 месяцев назад

@@TealJoshThe ic trains don't have a tilting system. Sometimes the tracks might be tilted in curves to make them smoother to pass through in high speeds. This can be mistaken for a tilting system.

@Itapirkanmaa2 9 месяцев назад

@@TealJoshThe ICs do not tilt and have never tilted. The original selling point of the Pendolinos was their tilting, which was afaik only ever used in the Turku-Helsinki line, and recently taken out of use there too. Pendolinos ride poorly and have uncomfortable seats.

@klapiroska4714 9 месяцев назад

Yup, all active tilting systems were disabled in June 2021, though the services that utilized it to go faster (Helsinki-Turku) were discontinued in 2020. Allegro trains - which are basicly the same thing but 1 car longer and 2mm narrower gauge - used to be scheduled 3 minutes faster than Pendolino and IC services between Kerava and Lahti, actually utilizing the 220 km/h top speed on a regular basis.

@klapiroska4714 9 месяцев назад

@@TealJosh Pendolinos are/were the only passenger train operating in Finland with active tilting system. IC trains do not have it, but the tracks are often times banked in corners to allow higher speeds, while not being too steep to cause problems for freight trains

@5mnz7fg 9 месяцев назад

These trains are very spacious, at least compared with Gerrman ICEs.

@basstrip73 9 месяцев назад

Finnish railways have a larger loading gauge than their west/central European counterparts so their trains are much roomier (like US and Russian trains). Bigger countries with populations living farther apart have bigger loading gauges. The Russian version of the Siemens Velaro train set is roomier than the ICE3 trainsets in Germany, the Finnish Vectron loco is bigger than the European version of the Stadler KISS trainsets used in US and Russia are absolutely massive. Most Swedish and Norwegian are also quite a bit bigger than in continental Europe. The UK has the smallest loading gauge out of these countries and the trains can be really cramped.

@5mnz7fg 9 месяцев назад

@@basstrip73That's true but at least the German loading Gauge is large enough to allow broader trains as the newer ICEs are.

@jfmezei 9 месяцев назад

There are two versions of Pendolinos. The 250kmh version do not have tilting, but the slower versions (I think to 200kmh but not sure) do have it. BTW, instead of "High Speed", you should use "Express". A TGV capable of 350kmh but used at only 100kmh would not be high speed.
