@fgrion All aspects you ask?

1: No liquid restrictions like the airline
2: takes you from city centre to city centre with no faff
3: No getting to the airport minimum 2 hours before
4: far more comfortable and you can watch the world go by
5: Eurostar do some good deals making them cheaper in some cases
6: No real baggage restrictions

Not to mention with such a small difference in arrival time, I’d stick with the train.

Neil Burns

Well done guys, you have done London to Paris,
London to Edinburgh,
London to Amsterdam and
London to Brussels now.

But I still think that you could reasonably do 2 or 3 more like that which would obviously be good races to see.

The 3 I had in mind would all leave from London but go to 3 other European countries within reach.

1) Germany (Frankfurt, Munich or Berlin - you choose the city you feel would be best for a race)

2) Italy (Milan, Rome or Naples)

3) Switzerland (Zurich).

You can obviously space them out like a month apart or whatever.

But I think they would be right up your street and given that you are both such great European citizens I am sure that you would thoroughly enjoy the races and visiting the different nations and their cultures.

I apologise if I seemed too pushy, after all it's really just a suggestion.

Sorry, guys.😳

@NightWing Flying by plane out of LCY = 3 hours at the airport + 1 hr 15 mins in the air excluding delays + 30 mins to the Amsterdam city centre = 4 hrs and 45 minutes. London St Pancras to Amsterdam Centraal = 4 hrs and 7 mins and you arrive slap bang in the city centre. Hmmmmm….the train in this instance is the quicker route I think you’ll find regardless of delays or not.

So basically, if the fight took off from Heathrow or any other airport in London, the train would have definitely won.

Depends where you are travelling from, if you are coming from Sussex it's quicker to go to Gatwick rather than City or St Pancras, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire its quicker to go to Heathrow, Bedfordshire its quicker to go to Luton, Essex its quicker to go to Stansted.

City airport is there to serve the City of London and the Isle of Dogs, it takes 25 minutes to go from the City to City Airport, compared to 1hr to go from City to Heathrow

Jake Howie

Exactly it’s called City Airport for a reason. You travel from the city. Trains are quite honestly a disaster in the UK now, only LNER is any good and on time

@Jake Howie Yeah which would have only been a 30 min deficit, but knowing the state of Schipol airport nowadays, the person on the flight would still have not made much ground.

It's not as good as it seems. Some highspeed trains are relatively cheap in Europe (ICE in Germany for example) but the Eurostar will cost double or three times as much as the plane.

@Jake Howie Flights are always delayed in London these days.

@mren Yeah because there's no competition partly. I've been on the Eurostar multiple times. It was relatively cheap for me because I purchased the tickets well in advance each time. But I'd rather pay more for that service compared to what Amtrak charges and the service it delivers.

Even though the train takes a bit longer, I'd definitely rather take it, especially in standard premiere given that gets the same seats as business premiere. Therefore at 6'5 that is definitely preferable to being cramped on a short haul flight. Also, beautiful scenery from the train, and obviously more environmentally friendly :)

hm not really, it all depends where you live and in many cases eurostar is more expansive than flying (because lot of airlines competing). also to board the eurostar you still need to queue up for security. the journey to amsterdam for example takes 4 hours, while the plane 1 hour. i am wondering what are the "all aspects" you refer to.

For convenience, I think the train wins as it is city centre to city centre. It's also more relaxing. With only a few minutes later, it's a good contender against the plane for speed, too. Really great that Eurostar now have this direct Amsterdam service.

Must have been journeys of 5 to mostly 6 ours. Co2 by train was 6kg, by plane 63 kg. Doesn't that make it quite easy to choose, when the taveltimes differ 4,5%?
And beware: traveling from (more common) Heathrow or Gatwick is a complete other storie, because it takes a lot more time to get to those airports then to City Airport.
All in all for me the train wins.

The Mx5 Channel

2y↑21

Agreed, i do think there is a place for planes and i love them. But 15 minutes for 10 times the amount of co2 is not worth it.

Also, no mentioning how Brexit might impact travel times because of passport checks might be sleek but definitely not for me.

I've binged all your train vs plane races and I love your style. It's really funny how the train is only slightly late for both Amsterdam and Edinburgh, when I would expect the train to be faster option for the latter. As a fan of trains I think a drawback of Eurostar is that you still need to do the passport control (even if you got away easy this time). I know you are UK based, but it would be really interesting to compare journeys in the Schengen area, eg Amsterdam-Frankfurt or Paris-Milan, as you can literally just hop on the train minutes before departure. Amsterdam-Frankfurt should take only about 4.5 hours, but DB trains are notorious for being delayed which might add to the suspense. Paris-Milan takes somewhat longer at almost 7 h, but you get views of the Alps and the executive seats on the frecciarossa are really luxurious from what I've seen on youtube, so it would be a nice comfortable ride at 300 kph. To make this one comparable maybe try travelling with luggage and take public transport to the airport. Looking forward to the next race!

As much as I love LCY, I think I may try the train as it looks comfortable and quiet. Ending up in Amsterdam Centraal station which is a bonus without the faf of changing. LCY is quick but if you get hit with a delay it can add so much to your time if your in a rush. I still think LCY is one of the best airports in London.

Chen Xiajie

@Septology but you have to get to the station a lot earlier with a standard ticket then a business premier ticket, and business premier is crazy expensive

I do think that is comparable because he flew from London City which costs Premium usually. Even getting to Heathrow would be longer, never mind Gatwick or Stansted.

Delays could impact the train too, so buffering is important. BTW Eurostar did suffer long lines during the summer, so if you can easily afford Business Premiere, then it is worth the shorter lines and the extras, such as the lounge and included hot meal.

If you mean London - Amsterdam, it's really all the same, nothing overly impressive and (at least out of LHR) delays, I spent two weeks bouncing around Europe and the UK and yeah, the train is the way to go at least to the 3 hour flight boundary.

@dave smith ok thanks!

Try BA CityFlyer from LCY-RTM, the great alternative to the madness that is Schiphol at the moment!

For Short distance flight it’s not worth it to fly with those expensive airlines (Lufthansa, British airways, klm) since the services is the same as with easyJet it eurowings. If you fly long distance it’s better to fly with them

Wow! the 15 minutes dont count if the service on the eurostar is that comfortable!

JakkuWolf Insomnia

I’d imagine, though I’ve never been in the Eurostar before, the Eurostar to be faster because there’s more fiddly parts to go through: awaiting gate announcement, checking-in, security, waiting for takeoff, waiting after landing, transit, passport check etc. Whereas Eurostar is there, passport check and done.

CC

I thought the train was going to be quicker. Nicky was 15 minutes late arriving, but they failed to mention that Liam's plane was also 12 mins late leaving the airport. If the plane left on time Nicky would've arrived nearly 30 minutes late! This was fun to watch. Who knew you had to be in tip top shape to travel from London to Amsterdam?

Manuel Valencia

2y↑1

Great and fun video, guys. Thanks! I personally like both modes of travel. 15 minutes is not much of a big deal. For me, anything under about an hour is no big deal, because things and delays can happen. Living in Japan, I prefer the bullet train to flying. It's a little more civilized. I really like that I can bring my own food and drink on board, and I don't have to go through baggage screening at train stations. Cheers guys!

Jowita van der Stel

Calculating from door to door the train is a big time win for me. I always fly from Eindhoven to Stansted. The total time of traveling from my house to st Pancras is over an hour more than by train. But train is more expensive, so depends on the plans for us.

Next time London - Rotterdam, that could be an even closer call! Hi-speed train from Schiphol to Rotterdam Central is 25 minutes, but there is also a metro/bus to Rotterdam airport (a bit more than 20 minutes). From Rotterdam Airport there is a connection with London City as well

SXFlyer

and on London - Brussels the train wins hands down!

Thomas Wieser

Next time y'all's are in the states, you should do a train vs plane between Miami and Orlando once Brightline starts service between the two. The flight takes approx 1 hr & 15 minutes while the train (which is a diesel powered Siemens trainset similar to Austria's Railjet) is expected to take around 3 hours.

J S

Brilliant presenting duo. Quite surprised the plane won actually - would have thought the train would always be quicker.

FlyGuy99

I am from Amsterdam but lived in London for three years. Therefore I made this journey about 50 times. Unfortunately, the tickets of KLM are usually about 1/3 of the price compared to Eurostar. In case you fly EasyJet (LHR - AMS) it can be even cheaper. That said, I would have definitely chosen train over plane if the prices were not that high. Not sure what the price differences are at the moment.

2y↑5

I'm a little confused, Liam said he has 2 hours until his flight meanwhile Nicky seemed to get on the train with minimum amount of time spent in the lounge. Did the train take 1-2 hours to leave the platform after arriving or something as it takes just over 3 hours to get to Amsterdam via train and the flight takes just over an hour plus the 2 hours Liam had to wait so I'm confused as to how Liam was late? Did I miss something in the video?

LauraCF

The Eurostar is more expensive with 20-50 £ extra than the plane, depends on the time of day of departure. At 6 AM the Eurostar is 20 £ cheaper than the plane. Plane ticket price had no checked in luggage included. Calculation for 15th September 2022. (economy class both)

Magnus Heathshaw

@Jed George problem is that isn’t Business Premier prices. With Business Premier you get shorter queues. Which means the train would have taken even longer.

I prefer train for this journey but the numbers/time isn’t correct

Price is the killer here, I was looking at visiting Amsterdam this year, and retrun flights cost the same as the train to london, let alone the eurostar. All in it was 3x the price to go by train, which is a real shame because I would much rather have gone by train, even if on paper it takes 2-3 hours longer. Eurostar: great if you live in London, not so much for the 60 million of us who don't.

The reason why the plane stood a chance, was flying fom London City Airport rather than any other airport. London City is the best connected one, very close to the centre of London, (which comes at a cost when you book). Flying from anywhere else would have been a different story.

schrire39

How does one measure the correct start time for the race? Is it check in at the airport/train station or is it at the time of take off/departure?

60skidd

Even though flying might be a tad quicker, I'll go for the train. It's so much more relaxed in my opinion: gates only close about 45 minutes before the train departs, so that you don't have to wait at the station for hours before your train departs, you only have to check in and go through customs once, and once you get out of the Eurostar, you're in the middle of a city!

A 4hr train ride is in the sweetest spot where it is the most preferable mode to take over air. However, given the the fact that the flight was from City Airport to Schiphol (which is extremely close and well connected to the Amsterdam Central) it negated a lot of benefits offered by rail. Great race and I'd still take rail any day of the week.

Somewhat ironically, the quick and frequent train services to and from the airports played a major role in the plane beating the train. Imagine having to wait for a bus... Or worse, taking Ryanair from Stansted to Eindhoven (cheaper, but would probably take 5 hours for this race)...

I would love to fo a race like this. These always look well fun

It definitely needs to be said that a standard Eurostar ticket is definitely cheaper most of the time and can be found for £39 a lot

Liam, quick tip about Japan, if it is a trip to there, they currently have a certain destination spot for you to go. However, there won't be free tour around the country as they have some strict rule for tourists in Japan.

But you would enjoy every bit of Japan's Sceneries.

Hi guys 🎉 cool video. Love the train 🚆 to AMSTERDAM. Most airports in London are way outside of London. I prefer without doubt the train that said, It is a pity the train is really expensive. Greetings from my channel in AMSTERDAM

Train is definitely less stressful & the airport is more of a wild card for delays!

Aarif Khan

I guess it would have been nice to know the price for both journeys

Me and my friend went to London with Eurostar a week ago, and at that time according to Tiktok videos I saw, they advised people to arrive at the airport 3-6 hours early! The train rides were great, the seats were adjustable so you could relax, and the screen even stated that taking the plane was equivalent to 13 eurostar trips. I definitely would choose the train over plane, since you only have to wait about 1 hour, and always have your luggage with you, and my ears are incredibly sensitive to air pressure, so planes hurt too much for me~

Some others numbers (corrected): there are about 60 flights a day from the 6 airports of London to Amsterdam Schiphol, 12.000 seats vv. A full Eurostar train consisting of 2 engines and 18 coaches carry 750 seats. To replace air traffic, 16 of those Eurostars a day would be needed. That is one train every hour in each direction. Currently thera are 4.
Anybody wondering why short term train tickets are expensive?

Honestly... The train seems to be less of a hassle. Sure, from the Bridge, both had to take mass transport but after that, the train is definitely the least "dramatic."

Myra02

Least dramatic? What do you mean?

xnyrage

Didn't mean that as an insult. Just there's less "oooh, security lines, checked bags, will I make it my gate halfway across the airport.. come on board faster, will the weather or ATC hold us and delay, will there be an opened gate upon landing. . Hurry hurry move faster and get off... is there public transport and is it running?"
Mind you... I have millions of flight miles (14 flights scheduled in the next 7 weeks). The train route just seemed mostly "drama free."

Myra02

@xnyrage Ohh, I see! I prefer the train as well. Even though delays happen and you can miss your connection, I just couldn't deal with the hassle of just sitting around for hours and then being cramped in such a small space 😅
Also, the train is much more environmentally friendly so that's why I prefer it too ☺️

Yup... see... less "drama." I love a quality train system. And I love nothing more than actually stepping onto a plane. I would love to have this choice documented in this video.

Omg it’s the Eternally Travelling Comedy Duo aka Liam and Nicky! Happy to see a racing video again! 👏🏽

From a budget perspective, I usually travel in Europe with a eurail pass in which case I can reserve any Eurostar train for 32 or 37 euro. Sometimes I can snatch a 20 euro Ryanair deal but it's literally a pain in the butt... The only advantage I guess is that sometimes you get a "rare" stamp on your passport to show off...

With a 12-15 minute delay to the winners transportation and 15 minutes waiting on the arrival of the other person, the winner actually won by 28-30 minutes (please note how I managed to make this comment without spoilers)

Planes, Trains, Everything.

Great video guys. I once raced myself between George Square Glasgow to Trafalgar Square London - one by air and one by train. On paper the journey times was identical, but in reality... Of course it's not all about speed, but environmental awareness and ££££ as well. Thanks for a fun journey.

Thank you so much for this one. Coming to Europe to visit and will be going to Amsterdam. Didn't think about the train however now to check prices

Nienke

But the real question is...how did it go from Schiphol --> London Airport? Because like you guys said, it's a complete mess over there (if we have to believe the news, but not sure about that). Let me know, because I have a flight from Amsterdam to Mexico haha lol.

My friends need to take inspiration from these types of races!!

Justin Coleman

From my understanding, using the train to get to Amsterdam would be a more affordable option, but yes you have to factor in the fact that overall the train would be a slower option. Overall though, love the idea of these races. However, not sure how many more races you can do in the UK...

Martin W

it depends. most of times the train is the more expensive way to go. but also, will go from other airports than the city airport which saves easily 1hour in comparison to most other london airports. i would bet, in most circumstances, the train wins if its about comfort and time (+ environmental aspects obviously anyway) and the flight if its about money.

Red Puppy

Points guy so helpful giving me cheap and extra choices to get on holiday!

Greg Curtin

Congrats Liam, better luck next time Nicky. I gather Nicky had to pick up the tab at the "coffee house" ? lol. You guys have the best music in your videos. Stay safe in your travels.

Tjerk Heringa

Do this again from Heathrow or any of the other airports around London. London City isn't really the norm for travellers. These type of 'races' are never fair. It greatly depends on your exact place of departure, the time of departure. The airports you are using. The scheduled departures.

"Interesting smells here"." Hahaha. I loved this, I'll watch the others. I took the train to Paris but the plane to Amsterdam, trains are just so much more relaxing and you get to see all the scenery go by. I'd rather be on the move rather than standing in an airport queue

Bruno Dallari

Another advantage of the train over the plane, which people tend to forget to consider, is the following: If you have work to do, reading or writing on a laptop, for example, on the train you start working even before the train leaves and you can work without interruption until reaching the final destination. On the plane, you have to wait for the plane to take off and have gained height and stability to start working - hoping there is no turbulence on the way. When the plane is about to land, you must stop working. As the train goes smoothly all the way, on a two-hour train journey, you may work for two hours. On a two-hour plane trip, you may work at most for one and even then with a lower degree of concentration and performance.

A fairer comparison would have been going from LHR, Liam would have been done for. I've raced my wife before, pre Covid and the train was 20 minutes ahead. I know who was more comfortable 🤣

X Van Wijlick

The results could have been different if one took the plane from LHR without priority checkin and the other took the train without priority checkin. Because that situation is most likely for other passengers

wkyken

Given the difference in arrival times, I'd prefer the train. Better breakfast, mobility inside the cabin/train. The only other issue would be the difference in price. Why didn't you mention the prices of the two tickets, or did I miss it?
