I tried VIP Luxury Class on Uzbekistan's Super Fast Bullet Train...

Today, i'm taking you on a journey aboard the exclusive high-speed train in Central Asia, the Afrosiyob, operated by Uzbekistan Railways. We will go from the historic city of Samarkand to the capital of Uzbekistan, Tashkent. Join me for a look at the experience in the VIP class as we traverse the captivating Uzbek desert on this swift and modern train that is so close to being perfect if it wasn't for a few flaws.

The train that you are showing at 2:33 is “Sharq”, also quite fast, it takes around 3 hours from Samarkand to Tashkent with max speed of 160 kph. It seems like they took soviet cars and refurbished them with airline-style seats with 2+1 layout, which is quite comfortable. Also the restaurant car is much nicer compared to Afrosiab, since in Afrosiab you can only eat while standing at a bar, while at Sharq you can seat and order meals

Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 is buying high speed trains from Hyundai Rotem and connecting more cities with fast trains

Do you think the Talgo rattle will be an issue for the DSB carriages?

Uzbek high speed rail is at 180 - 250 km/hr. And it's only between four major cities.
India's bullet trains will be 350km/hr speed.
