High-speed trains all over the world aren’t equipped with safety belts. Why is it so? We have safety belts in cars, planes but not trains… Safety belts are meant to prevent passengers from being thrown from their seats and hurting themselves in case of emergency situations. So why don’t high-speed trains have any seat belt at all? And what will the trains of the future look like?

Hey there! When was the last time you travelled by train? 🚅
The train that I went on went up to maximum 300kmph
Made in China
THE SHINKANSEN
Hgh speed train have nuff engins working same time ;(☆¤¤¤¤¤¤☆¤¤¤¤☆¤¤¤¤¤☆¤¤¤¤☆¤¤¤¤¤)5engin puling cars seems lighter
True story though! They do not have the Flintstones in Dubai, but in Abudabi do.
Fix subtitles please
Listening to these videos sometimes gives me anxiety. The speech patterns and grammar usage, and sentence structure are so awkward and computer-y.
This video has some very useful info. However, it's all over the place and at dizzying speed. 😂🤨😮😅
I had to drop out of college to focus on your videos, very informative
Bezos could build the entire railway line himself, no sweat.
The only rail rounds I found that I liked were intercity express (thumbnail)

This is the worst video about trains that I have ever watched on the internet. It jumped from one part to another and has no connection with the title at all, saving some parts. Hyperloop will never be a reality because simply it is too costly and prone to breaking down in the middle of the track. Once it broke, removing the broken pod will take longer than removing a broken High-Speed Train (HST) from the track, as an HST can be moved by sending an engine or two to haul it to the nearest station but not a hyperloop. What's your point, then, Brightside?
This video seems like a whole lot of anti-maglev propaganda, even though it is arguably the most suitable train design talked about here. How do I know this? Would anyone argue that The Japanese are way smarter than the rest of us?
What a load
Would have been an easier video to follow if it had had a discernible structure: it just seemed to be jumping around covering different parts of railway engineering.
I juts realized that trains don't have any at all
Railway through the desert carrying 8 million passengers per annum I get that, super efficient, safe etc. Then you casually mention four lanes of road carriageway running in parallel – add the fueling stops, breakdown services etc neededto support road travel then what kind of environmental madness is that?
I whas never in a train
