Switzerland to Italy by train! SBB Astoro from Basel to Milan in First Class | Interrail
In this geeky railway video and trip report I show you what it's like to make a cross border trip from Frankfurt am Main Hbf to Basel SBB on the German ICE high-speed train (InterCity Express) operated by Deutsche Bahn. That is the German state-run railway company. I made the trip in first class using an Interrail ticket. It is basically an all-you-can-travel ticket awing you to travel by train all over Europe. I explain the details in the video. You will also learn a lot about Deutsche Bahn (DB) in general. Enjoy!

3:19 A little detail about the station ; the building with the clock tower behind the train is actually the station building of the French station- yes - Basel SBB is in fact a two-nation-station, Basel SBB /SNCF. The German railways have their own station on the other side of the city-center… The French railway to Basel was the first train line in Switzerland 🇨🇭 in 1844.

Thanks for your comment! I heard somewhere that Basel Bad station is operated by DB, but didn’t know that Basel SBB is a two-nation station. Thanks a lot for watching! Christian from travelmentary TV
The amount of info you dropped was NICE!!!! the only thing I would gripe about (only because you dropped so much knowledge) is whether the train is considered a higher-speed or high-speed train and if the service obtains the later.... But I will be looking for more of your videos in the future if they are like this.

Hi, thanks a lot for watching and your comment! That’s a good point you made with the speed of the train! Generally speaking, it’s always a struggle to decide which piece of information makes it into the video and which not, because it also has to do with the length of the animations etc. For instance at one point I also wanted to explain that Alstom is a French company that manufactures the TGV, but I found it just too much 😅 Yes, all my videos are created in this fact-loaded style, please feel free to watch my previous productions as well!

@@travelmentaryTV I'm sure you'll get that information in one of your next videos. I love watching railway videos of all kinds, but train/trip reviews are some of my favorite, and your presentation was emaculate. I only added about adding the trains speed overall and if it reaches it within the service because I save it to a library and while I have a first-class ticket section, the videos also go under their speed 2. But it was very enjoyable.
