    Amusing but I would rather have the seat facing the right way or even better, no cheesy frame/seats; just the footage and audio.

      Click the "footage by" link in the bottom corner, the page is just embedding a YouTube video.

    There's something very analogue about this site. Relaxing in a way. Thanks for this. (slight improvement for weather effects - they don't always move in the direction of the train)

    People that are completely unaware are recognizably in view. Not cool.

      Are they in public? Then that's on them.

      As an example, UK law: you can legally photograph/video anyone in a public place, without their consent. Limitations to this exist, e.g. if the person feels they're being stalked or harassed, they can complain, and you could be arrested for breach of the peace.

        What is illegal is not necessarily immoral, and what is legal is not necessarily moral.

    This is great, heard somebody get fined on a line I took once in France. Just hits the spot!

    How can I select a specific line in a country? I keep getting new (random) lines when I click on the same country again, is there any way to actually choose a specific line?

    Poland's train is moving backwards; can we get an option to turn the seats around :)

    Why are the stops in Germany, but the ticker sign says "somewhere near New York"?

      (Hi, I'm a moderator here.) A comment like this breaks the site guidelines, so if you wouldn't mind reading https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules, we'd appreciate it.

      I have to add, though: if you meant this as a joke, it's actually really funny! So it's a bit of a Shrödinger cat I suppose.
