Wuppertal Schwebebahn Vlog 29th November 2021

Join myself Martyn and Charlotte as we turn into proper train geeks and go and ride the Wuppertal Schwebebahn, the worlds oldest operating suspended railway

The Schwebebahn opened way back in 1901 making it 120yrs old this year and wow, what an engineering masterpiece this thing is, I’ve wanted to “ride it like a bad boy” since I first found out about it some years ago and it didn’t disappoint

There is only the 1 one line but has 20 stations along the way, the Schwebebahn gets around 80,000 passengers a day which is incredible and has had some updates in the 120yrs including these super modern trains which were added in 2016

All footage was filmed in 2.7k 50fps using a GoPro Hero 9 Black with official accessories

What an amazing suspended railway system this Schwebebahn is you would never think its really that old it looks so impressive for its age, good to see your footage of this there Andy - Nice 1 mate👍

This is so impressive. What a great feat of transport engineering. 120 years old too how they did that ... Wow!! It's like a suspended coaster, reminded me of vampire when you were going through the barvarian style houses. Thanks for this mate, one of best things I've seen. Mind you when you were all sticking your cameras nd phones at the driver wasn't weird at all🤣🤣 geek squad on tour! Love it.... Its absolutely impressive you know 🐛🐛

What a great transport ride and over a hundred years old 👍 I think some of the larger themeparks could benefit from having one of these 🚟

Hi Andy, just started a new run of your vlogs ... I'm a fair bit behind lol... wow that train looked cool. Very smooth and quiet. Enjoyed the vlog.

A game developer made a simulator of this, it could have been good but it was made on the cheap.

Mr Coaster, you should have bought the 24hr ticket. It costs Euro 7.20 and covers up to 5 people for that price.

Hats off to you doing your crane driver job Andy, looking at those through the video at the start of the vlog, gave me the wobbles, excuse my ignorance I take it there is a lift to get up to the cab?
It would kill me climbing that everyday!
Have you invested in the retro Star Wars figures? Nice continuation of my originals, new ones look the nuts for second wave of the madolorian!
