First High-Speed Railway in Turkey - TCDD YHT Istanbul to Ankara Business Class Siemens Velaro train
Welcome to İstanbul, Türkiye! We all know that Western Europe and East Asia are home to some of the fastest trains in the world! But did you know that Turkey is also building a high-speed rail network that will link up all its major cities? For my first train video filmed outside Australia, I decided to go somewhere that is less well-known, so today I’m going to travel on Turkey’s first high-speed train line from Istanbul to Ankara. Let’s go!
