Thank you for this video, it's the first time I see with a better quality something I forever wanted to see at this train, the service car hallway, that is. I know they are different because they are made in the UK for European railroads and they did it differently, the lights are a bit off, not on the middle, and the windows have a different wood configuration around them. I hope you know you are extremely lucky to be on board this history marvel in Art Deco style that works and earns money, part of the European values and heritage, the symbol of freedom to travel and individual freedom to travel, work and speak that is the Venice Simplon Orient Express. I cannot wait to get on board it once again, when it passes my home city, Bucharest. Also I've seen you've perfected your English, if you remember some time ago, 9 or 12 months ago, there was a guy here calling you a total noob and yelling at you to perfect your English, I've seen you worked on that, congrats. Other than that, try next time to pay attention to the microphone so we won t hear your breath. It' s not unpleasant but it's unprofessional.

In May 2017 we went on a special trip to Venice, train both ways, Euro Star to Paris, TGV to Turin, overnight in Turin and onward to Venice. Three perfect days in Venice, but to top it all off, the we had the pleasure of travelling on the Orient Express from Venice to Calais/London, trip of a life time, carriages were spotless, food was fantastic and the service was superb. Our attendant was the candle on top of the cake. Great Video

Breathtaking. art deco and a train. What more could you ask? Polished wood paneling - check, gold covered everything - check, real chairs and couches - check, a baby grand piano in the bar car - check, service unmatched by any other mode of transportation - check, and a toilet fit for the queen - check. No wonder I can't afford it. Thanks for showing me how the other half lives. truly incredible.

I think the main visible defect is the white color of the ceilings. I couldn't believe that when I saw it in the video. This reminded me to the royal train of Italian king, built in the beginning of XX century which cars had very beuteful and decorated ceilings. Therefore I do not understand why this is missing in the VSOE. For the rest is obviously a wonderful train set.

I used to have a model of the VSOE train. but only ten coaches. including three sleeping cars, some Pullman cars and a service coach. It looked very impressive pulled buy a German steam engine or a Swiss electric locomotive. When I stopped it at one of the stations it looked a grand sight!

I rode on The Orient Express from Paris to Berlin a couple of years ago. It was the single greatest travel experience of my life! To any true travel enthusiast - Yes! It's worth it! It certainly isn't cheap BUT the experience and memories will last a LIFETIME.

Terrific way to tour the train, when it's stopped -cold-. Felt like Cheryl Ladd might come around the corner, at any moment! Ps am curious to know how three separate companies can all (legally) use the -Orient Express- appellation: Belmond, ACCOR and OBB/SNCF?

Thank you for that! I'll probably never get to ride the Orient Express, but it was great to see the epitome of elegance on rails. Still, I can envision James Bond battling with -Red- Grant in that sleeper compartment!

All of your videos are lovely. Orient Express has always been a rhapsody on European rails. the coaches are very old, and recently have been modified with new bogies I believe
