Hello, and welcome back to another train trip review!
Today I'm trying out the Turkish high-speed service, the TCDD Yüksek Hızlı Tren (YHT) on a ride between the biggest city (İstanbul) to the capital city (Ankara).
This journey takes place on-board the new TCDD HT80000, part of the fantastic Siemens Velaro family of high-speed trains. These trains are a little different however, featuring an incredible VİP Class, which I think is probably the most luxurious and exclusive experience available on any high-speed train. You won't believe how cheap it was either!
Enjoy the video!
