I tried Sweden’s BRAND-NEW city bullet train! 🤯
An extra-wide train sounds promising until the conversation turns to getting everyone through the doors. Superalbs Travels' Swedish X80 review brought both questions into focus, drawing about 52,000 views as the week's only new upload.
In "I tried Sweden's BRAND-NEW city bullet train! 🤯", the journey runs from Gothenburg Central to Vänersborg in second class. The description highlights reclining seats and a generous five-across seating arrangement, while asking whether the delayed fleet suits busy peak-hour travel. The trip itself arrived on time.
Viewers bring a useful local perspective. Some discuss whether regional service, rather than commuter work, better explains the door layout; another raises the distinction between where the bodies are built and where other components and final assembly come from. Away from the engineering, several commenters single out the effort put into pronouncing station names. One truck driver recalls passing the Gothenburg railway on the highway years earlier.
The Swedish upload is among the channel's most active videos, but the older Aberdeen-Plymouth trip currently draws slightly more daily views. That first-class CrossCountry journey offers a very different test of comfort: an all-day ride via the Forth Rail Bridge and Dawlish seawall. The Nox sleeper walkthrough also continues drawing views, though it is a look at private-room prototypes at Berlin's InnoTrans exhibition, not a ride on an operating service.
Subscribers were unchanged over the week, while the channel added roughly 148,000 views. Today's viewing is well below its usual daily level. For viewers catching up, the active collection offers three distinct railway questions: room for commuters, comfort over a long day, and privacy overnight.

Nice video! You are a lovely guy who always tries to pronounce the different station names, and you do it very well in a very charming way. Love your channel! Greetings from Sweden!
@SkaningSwedenSee it on YouTubeCame here cause I like trains - but I'm a truck driver in Northern Sweden, and I got nostalgic seeing the train pass the highway in Gothenburg were I drove for two years a decade ago.
@getousSee it on YouTubeI have noticed in all of your videos that despite English native speakers butchering pronounciations, you actually care about them. As a Hungarian, thanks for it. I'm also trying to learn them.

It's actually going to be more of a regional train than a commuter. That's also why it has so few doors.
@simonbonde9123See it on YouTubeOh. My local train. Travels with it 4-5 times a week. I'm satisfied with it. Thanks for sharing this video 💚
@TonyJohansson-YouKnowSee it on YouTubeThank you for reviewing this beautiful Swedish train. Also appreciate the effort of waiting for the actual train. I have little experience on Swedish trains so I can't really relate any issues you mentioned 😊
@erwinmeeuwenoord6015See it on YouTubeThis video is a dream come true! I have waited the whole 8 years for these trains to enter service and seeing you take them really is speciall!
@papyresss8640See it on YouTubeWent on this a few months ago. Really impressed.
@trains888See it on YouTubeI enjoy travelling with the X80 trains as they have WiFi on board (mobile data signal will sometimes break in the countryside, or if you're passing through a tunnel)
