Japan, a land of technological sophistication and aesthetic subtlety, is once again proving that innovation and tradition can perfectly blend. The new generation of E10 Shinkansen bullet trains, being developed by East Japan Railway Company (JR East), combines cutting-edge engineering with the subtle beauty of nature – the train’s design is inspired by the petals of the Japanese cherry blossom (sakura).

The new Orient Express tour "La Dolce Vita" from Rome to Split is coming https://citymagazine.si/en/the-new-orient-express-tour-la-dolce-vita-from-rima-to-split-is-coming/ Fri, 18 Feb 2022 09:14:06 +0000 https://citymagazine.si/en/?p=512207

The Orient Express train is a true legend. It has been traveling the world for more than a century. His name signifies luxury, nostalgia. Members of the aristocracy, royal families, spies, movie stars, writers and the famous detective Hercule Poirot traveled with such a journey. The Paris to Istanbul rail route pioneered a new era of transcontinental luxury train travel. The most famous train in the world will soon return to travel through one of the most popular destinations in the world, Italy, and one of the stops will also be at our neighbors in Croatia.

Surely we all agree that the Orient Express is the most famous train in the world. In its golden days, in the 20s and 30s of the last century, it transported passengers from Paris all the way to Istanbul. Today, however, it is synonymous with luxury travel for those who can afford it.

Traveling by train has its own charm. Sitting in a compartment with a slightly open window wafting through the smell of the wheels rubbing against the tracks, counting how many more stations there are, watching the scenery through which the train rushes... Time stops.

In Japan, during the summer months, we will be able to travel with a very special "shinkansen" or high-speed train. The main star on it will be one of the most famous "kawaii" characters, Hello Kitty.

It's not just the final destination that counts. If the journey is fun and adventurous, it might be even better than the destination. Traveling by train may sound exotic these days, something that is not 'comfortable', but clearly this is not the case. Everett Potter has been traveling the world by train for 30 years, and he's never tired of it. Let's see what his favorite rails are. But you may be tempted.

The most luxurious train in the world is the Japanese Shiki-Shima train https://citymagazine.si/en/the-most-luxurious-train-in-the-world-is-the-japanese-train-shiki-shima/ Mon, 08 May 2017 04:05:38 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=304068

The most luxurious Shiki-Shima train comes from the land of the rising sun – Japan. It was designed by Ferrari designer Ken Okuyama, the first non-Italian to ever design for the brand. This also makes it a real piece of art on rails. And officially the most luxurious form of transportation in the world. A few days ago, it did its christening ride and the first passengers were impressed.

Germany is getting passenger trains powered by fuel cells. Even the first trains of this type were manufactured by the French company Alstom. Coradia iLint trains will transport the first passengers on German tracks in December 2017, namely on the Buxtehude–Bremervörde–Bremerhaven–Cuxhaven route, and until then the zero-emission trains will be rapidly tested.

Trainsurfing or train surfing - the craze that drove Russian teenagers crazy https://citymagazine.si/en/trainsurfing-or-surfing-on-the-train-craze-that-has-made-russian-teenagers-crazy/ Wed, 21 Sep 2016 06:01:48 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=video&p=254920

Trainsurfing or train surfing used to be an extreme sport that was, of course, against the law. It experienced its greatest popularity in the 1980s in Germany. Fortunately, the dangerous sports phenomenon was forgotten for a while, but in recent times it has driven Russian teenagers crazy, and young men riding trains on the roof have become a common sight, especially in Moscow. One of them is Alex Nomernoy. You just have to see these clips. We got sweaty hands during the tour, and you will too!

Slovenes Dunking Devils this time in a dunk on a burning train! https://citymagazine.si/en/slovenes-dunking-devils-this-time-in-a-wooden-train/ Sun, 04 Sep 2016 04:32:32 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=video&p=252069

Just when we think they have shown their best tricks and exhausted their acts, the Dunking Devils prove again and again that they do not lack creative and acrobatic inspiration, and more and more often also courage. This time they hammered on a traveling train on the Nova Gorica-Bohinj route, thus honoring the 110th anniversary of the existence of the Bohinj railway line. Among the scenes we also find such purely Hollywood or Bond-esque, as one of the members jumps from the bridge onto the moving train, while the other juggles on top of the wagon when the train crosses the Solkan bridge, as if it were the easiest thing in the world and one wrong move wouldn't cost him a 36-meter drop and sudden refreshments in Soča. Otherwise, jumping into the river, except Savo, Dunking Devils are used to it anyway.

The interior of most trains is similar; overall, they're all dull and rather bland, with the seat covers setting the tone. Well, not in France. There, the trains are equipped as if entering an Art Nouveau or Baroque building, full of paintings and with a ceiling worthy of the Sistine Chapel. With this project, the French want to bring art closer to the masses.

How do people react when a stranger falls asleep on their shoulder on the subway? https://citymagazine.si/en/how-people-react-when-a-stranger-falls-asleep-on-their-shoulder-on-the-underground-train/ Fri, 11 Jul 2014 04:25:31 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=82149

Although the New York subway can be as lively as an anthill, at the same time it is also a forcefully alienated place, as it is ruled by antisocial instincts, which a person betrays with headphones, a mobile phone, a tablet, etc., and which he slyly avoids like a fox interaction. But what happens when someone 'breaks', when he breaks the unwritten rule of silence or even worse, untouchability? This was discovered by George Ferrandi and Angela Gillands.
