Do more dutch videos dude-. Do you hate the Netherlands or something? There is soooo muchhh more to see in the Netherlands. The nicest stations ( Breda where you were for example) and new trains. The Netherlands also has more sleeper trains now. But ofcourse ou ignore us - while you are milking Belgium you are ignoring us-. and you haven-t even made a video on Eurostar to the Netherlands-. While you have the dutch flag there just why? -. And you have only 5 videos from The Netherlands-. and freaking 12 from Belgium-.
My final question-. Why do you hate her Netherlands? -.

As a Dutchman I like how the DDZ turned out, but NS has a poor taste of decoration. In some trains there's poetry that doesn't make any sense and the DDZ has grapes, random objects and even something that looks like barf as door handles.
But overall our trains have improved a lot in the past few years. If you did trip reports here before 2010-ish, you'd encounter uncomfortable and sometimes nasty and depressing rolling stock interiors.

The tickets are expensive if you pay full price. You can buy an annual -Voordeelurenkaart- (Discount hours card) which gives you 40% off of all tickets when travelling after 9AM (and on weekends all day. There are indeed no power sockets on these trains (the new sprinters have them and the new intercities will have them too. The intercities also have free WiFi but is not fast enough for streaming most of the time.

For occasional traveling, a train ticket is pricey.
But most Dutch people who often take the train have an NS discount card 40%. Such a discount card costs 55 Euro per year. Supermarkets also occasionally sell train vouchers for unlimited day trips for around 15 Euro. Students have a public transportion card for free travel on the bus, tram, train and metro.

I used to ride on these regularly before they were refurbished; I remember the seats used to be green. I was extremely curious about the motorised carriage with it's unusual wheel arrangement with three driving bogies, Bo Bo Bo. The refurbishment is a huge improvement but these were always one of my favourite Dutch train sets.
Another very nice report, merci!

Trains in Netherlands are expensive, but, there is one positive thing in our country that if you are a student, you can travel for free during the week with a special card called -studentenov-, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't excist in a lot of countries, I have that too, so during the week I can travel to all places inside The Netherlands for -0, isn't that nice: )

Nice video! Although I think -5, 30 is a lot for such a short ride. In general, trains in the Netherlands are way too expensive.
If you are looking for a new train to review, I would suggest that you go to the line between Maastricht and Heerlen (and maybe to Aachen. The line is beautiful, and I like the trains which Arriva uses on that line; -)

NS stations are the best! 5, 30 euros, but in fact, most people taking the train have an OV-Chipkaart with a season ticket, and it costs 5 euros per month to get a 40% discount on off peak hours and weekend travels. 32 for unlimited travels during the weekend, and you can add 3 euros to get the off peak hours discount, monday to friday.

How much distance covered in 18 minutes for -5. 30? Asking per U. S. commuter lines. Speaking of which, New Jersey Transit reportedly is getting multi level MUs in 4 cars sets, 2 middle cars would be powered. See if those power cars resemble those DDZ power units with upper level seating.

About the doorhandles: they are solid metal, so very heavy. When this train takes sharp curves or switches, the doors bang really hard from side to side. Many times I was scaresd the doors would shatter, since they are glass I assume. It must be a strond kind. -

This train type is called DDZ (Double Dekker Zones) Not DDM.
DDM is the older/first series of this train that is in service in the north of The Netherlands.
5: 28 You can see the black square under the seat that's the power outlet.

It-s not an NS pantograph, it-s a faiveley pantograph, from the french. And it-s just old so the design has a few extra pipes than you would see on modern ones. Nothing weird about it

Love the video! These trains do in fact have power outlets, but in 1st class and only under the 2 seats instead of the one. They-re very hidden but are under the seats in between the two.

The power sockets in a DDZ (or NID) are under the 2 seats in first class only. Only our modern local trains have power outlets in both classes everywhere.

Regarding the door handles. they are designed to represent -annoying- things in the train. E. g. Grapes = Eating, Phone = Calling, Spray Can = Graffiti etc etc

The NS loading gauge is larger. The cars are bigger & ceiling is higher. Perfect if you're tall. Or just an average sized Dutch dude.

There are lots of discounted fares and you can buy lot of discount formulas with NS which are a good deal. You can get up to 40% discount.

The NS gauge is the exact same as SNCF and most trains worldwide. The gauge means the space between the two tracks. 1, 435 m is the norm.

Min. 3: 23: You certainly mean structure gauge (the width of the trains) and not track gauge which is the same all over central Europe.
