Hello lovely Patreon supporters!

This video covers a lot of topics, from taking the train in Europe, to night trains, to the punctuality of Deutsche Bahn, to important facts about dinosaurs that you didn't know you needed.

And Tier Zoo helped out, too!

Enjoy!

Perhaps more people would ride trains in America if Amtrak had more Queen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEjU9KVABao&list=PL2tMgWgIvcWmvK3JqG7hiSJond0fCcXwr Especially, the bursting through fake walls bit. . .

Great video! Keep hammering on the point that underfunding and neglect of train infrastructure is the main cause of many of many of the problems that trains have, this needs to be understood and recognized by the public and by policymakers. About the JKR sequence and your pinned comment on YouTube: 1. Although I agree that JKR is a transphobe and she should definitely be called out, I think the NJB channel is controversial enough _as is_ that it doesn't need to burden itself with additional culture war issues that might divide or push away some viewers from taking the orange pill. 2. Even though I'm queer myself and support trans liberation, I'd prefer that the NJB channel keeps cleanly focused on its main topic: urban design and mass transit. 3. Being derisive towards Harry Potter fans is not the best way to win over supporters for trans liberation. 4. If you do still decide that this is a hill worth dying on, then might as add these links to ContraPoints' fantastic videos to include in your pinned comment on YT 4.1 https://youtu.be/7gDKbT_l2us?si=j0U5DEC6nPktzurp 4.2 https://youtu.be/EmT0i0xG6zg?si=TJjvYCeBg-wKNJX2 5. Thank you for donating the ad revenue to COC Keep up the good work 🚋🚲🚂🚉

Thanks! I don't care about being "controversial" though. I will keep making comments like that.
