Dinosaurs are awesome. Really awesome.  So to make this video as awesome as the subject  deserves, I’ve enlisted the help of TierZoo,   Nebula’s resident animal expert. Including dinosaurs.  It’s incredible to learn about how these  giant creatures used to roam the Earth,  and it’s even more incredible that we can know so  

Much about them just from the  fossils they’ve left behind. Recently our youngest became obsessed  with these incredible creatures,  and couldn’t learn enough about them. He had a school break back in October,   so we decided to visit three of the  best museums for dinosaurs in Europe: 

The Natural History Museum in London, Le Muséum des sciences naturelles à Bruxelles,  and das Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin.  And of course we visited all three by  train, because trains are also awesome.  Dinosaurs AND trains. You couldn’t have asked   for a better trip. And everything went  

Absolutely perfectly, that is … until we tried to get to Germany … [NJB Intro] One of my   favourite things about living in  Europe is the ability to easily   travel between countries with different  languages, food, culture, and places.  And whenever possible, we do that by train. So for our dinosaur museum trip, the train  

Seemed like the obvious option. Our plan was pretty simple.  We needed to hit up these three cities  in Europe over the course of 5 days.  For Amsterdam to London, the  EuroStar was the obvious choice.  And for London to Brussels,  another EuroStar, direct. 

And the last leg was the most exciting of all:  the new night train from Brussels to Berlin.  Well, that was the plan, anyway. It all started out pretty well.  The EuroStar provides direct  service from Amsterdam to London.  An adult ticket can be as low as €74,  but we opted for Standard Premier. 

The EuroStar has three classes of travel:  Standard, Standard Premier, and Business Premier.  The Standard class is already very comfortable. But Standard Premier has more legroom, and wider   seats, and it’s not too much more expensive,  so we thought it was worth it for this trip. 

By the way, if you are ever planning  a train trip, the best place for   information is The Man in Seat 61. This website is an absolute gold mine of   information about train travel all over the world. You’d be crazy to book a major train trip   without checking here first. Link in the description.

The EuroStar terminal in Amsterdam is at the  very back of the station, at platform 15b.  Here they’ve set up a separate  building for security.  Yes, unfortunately to take the EuroStar,   we needed to go through a security  check, similar to an airport. 

Though I’ve found the checks to be  much faster than a typical airport. Since the UK isn’t in the Schengen Zone,  or even in the EU anymore, we also needed   to go through passport control. Then we waited in the lounge   for our train to arrive. The EuroStar from Amsterdam  

To London takes just over 4 hours,  with stops in Rotterdam and Brussels.  This can sometimes be faster than flying, because  of all the extra time that air travel requires,   but regardless, it’s much, much more comfortable. And apparently EuroStar has commissioned  

Their own beer. It was, actually decent. For most of the trip the EuroStar can travel   at 300 km/h, and the ride is perfectly  smooth and comfortable at that speed.  We arrived in London right on  time at St. Pancras Station.

And since we already did passport control in  Amsterdam, we just walked out into the city.  Right next to St. Pancras is King’s Cross  station, a major transportation hub which   makes it easy to travel on to other destinations. You can even go see the tourist trap that is  

Platform 9¾, and stand in this ridiculous queue  to have your picture taken with a luggage trolley.  When we lived in London, Platform 9¾ was just  a little display tucked away near platform 8. But those were simpler times, before Harry Potter was widely popular and  

Before we knew JK Rowling was a raging transphobe. We used to live right near King’s Cross when   my wife and I lived in London. I would take the train up to my   job in Cambridge most days, and living right  by the station made that commute bearable. 

It’s incredible to see how much King’s  Cross has changed since we left in 2011.  The station itself has this beautiful  covered extension with shops and restaurants. And there’s been a lot of  development around the station too.  Including several pedestrianized areas. And I saw some new bike lanes going in 

And I even saw a bakfiets! These definitely  weren’t a thing when we lived there.  The North of the station is so much nicer now.  Though on the South side,  Euston Road still kinda sucks.  But I did see a bunch of new and  safer crossings with bumpouts nearby. 

I definitely would have appreciated having  this zebra crossing when I lived here! But we’re not here to see zebras,  we’re here to see dinosaurs!  The Natural History Museum in London was  just a quick trip along the Picadilly Line   to South Kensington station. Which was also looking a lot  

Better than how I remembered it. The entrance to most museums in   London is free, which is honestly amazing. Though you might want to give a donation.  Still, it’s incredible that you can get access  to a museum as great as, say, the British Museum   without any entrance fee at all. You pay nothing. 

The same amount the British paid  Egypt for all these artifacts.  What this does mean however, is  that there was a seriously long   queue at the Natural History Museum. Fortunately, we had pre-booked our   time slot online, so we were able  to get in without too much hassle. 

The Natural History Museum in London is  fantastic, with all kinds of exhibits   about all kinds of animals and geology. And the building itself is beautiful.  But forget all that, we’re here to see dinosaurs. Some dinosaurs were absolutely gargantuan,   certainly bigger than any  land animal that exists today.

The largest dinosaurs were  the aptly named Titanosaurs. The longest is thought to be  Patagotitan at an estimated   length of about 37 m though possibly the longest. It may not have been the heaviest; that  title currently goes to Argentinosaurus. But it’s difficult to estimate the size and weight  

Of these animals when so few bones  of each species have been found. When we were in London there was a special  exhibit dedicated to just the Patagotitan.  This thing was almost twice as  tall and three times heavier than a  Diplodocus, which I thought was  already a pretty big dinosaur. 

But no spoilers for the other museums. Look at the size of this thing!  These would have been incredible animals to see. Though, I uh, feel like the “human for scale”   on this sign is not really necessary when you can literally just y’know,  turn around and see the  dinosaur next to actual humans. 

Our son loved this so much that  he managed to twist my rubber arm  and convince me to buy him a Patagotitan stuffy. It is really cute though.  The London Natural History Museum has a great mix  of dinosaur exhibits, from the typical skeletons To lifelike recreations. 

Who knew the Cretaceous had such epic lighting? I enjoyed this one that moves so rarely that you   question whether or not you actually saw it move. When I was a kid, all dinosaurs were drawn as   lizard-like or crocodile-like,  but we now know from fossil  

Records that many of them were feathered. This may not be a surprise to your younger   audience, but most dinosaurs had feathers. Dinosaurs used to be drawn as lizard-like   or crocodile-like. But we know now from fossil   records that many of them were feathered, even young tyrannosaurus rex probably had  

Feathers though they lost them as they aged. The feathers of dinosaurs were not exactly   the same as feathers of birds today as  feathers have evolved since that time.  But it’s now known that all modern birds are  descendants of those feathered dinosaurs. 

I clearly remember when Toronto got a basketball  team, and there was a public contest to name it.  The Toronto Raptors was the winning name,  after the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park,   because the contest happened right  after the movie was released.  The original Toronto Raptors  logo looked like this. 

I wonder if they would’ve named the team that,  if they knew that these raptors were only about  half a metre tall and kinda looked like chickens.  Yeah. While there definitely were raptors that  were as big as the ones shown in Jurassic Park. Velociraptor itself was nowhere near  as big as its movie counterpart. 

Most of the dinosaurs at this  museum are packed into one room.  They have the old standbys, like Triceratops And stegosaurus  But also some species I wasn’t  familiar with like this Camarasaurus  They make good use of space here, but that also  means that some of the exhibits are hung above. 

Still, there were a lot of great exhibits  here for anybody who is into dinosaurs.  And OK, I know it’s not a dinosaur, but  look at the size of this megatherium.  It’s an extinct giant sloth. After spending the night in London,   it was time for our next  Eurostar trip to Brussels. 

We still needed to go through  passport and security,  but otherwise this is the absolute  best way to get to Brussels.  It’s just such a comfortable ride. Such a great way to travel.  The world really does need more high-speed trains. I managed to find a ridiculously good rate on  

A hotel literally overlooking  the Grand Place, which was fun.  It’s incredibly touristy, but for good reason. I mean, this is beautiful, right? Though the weather wasn’t  so great the next morning.  We used to live in Brussels, and  our son was actually born there, 

So we spent some time touring around. And I took him to the place where we   used to live.. Unfortunately,   this neighbourhood hasn’t changed very much And this painted bicycle gutter is   as bad as it was when we lived here. Any longtime viewers of this channel will know  

That we didn’t exactly enjoy living in Brussels, and we left after only two years.  But for this trip, it was nice to see how things  had changed for the better in the past few years.  Someday I’m going to have to make a  video about how Brussels has improved. 

But enough about that. We’re here to see dinosaurs.  After going to London, I wasn’t expecting  much from little old Brussels, but I was   pleasantly surprised. This museum is great!  The dinosaur exhibit here was in a wide open  room and I read that it’s the “largest dinosaur  

Hall in the world”, though I’m not sure how  many dinosaur halls there are in the world.  This might be like when I say my  brother is my favourite brother,   because … he’s also my only brother. But regardless of its international stature,   I liked how everything was easily visible. Epic Cretaceous lighting confirmed. 

This Stegosaurus skeleton was impressive. And it had a nice Thagomizer.  This word was invented in 1982 by Gary  Larson, the creator of the Far Side cartoon. Sadly, not all paleontologists  like using this word,  but it has appeared in some  scientific publications!  It’s funny though to see a  Stegosaurus right next to a  

Tyrannosaurus Rex though … tell ‘em why, TierZoo.  It’s tough to comprehend just how  long the dinosaurs ruled the earth. We tend to think of them all living together  on some kind of prehistoric savannah. But the dinosaurs were around  for about 165 million years   and only went extinct about 65 million years ago.

In fact, we live closer in time to  T rex than T rex did to Stegosaurus. One thing that’s nice about this  museum is that very few exhibits are   behind glass, so everything is easily visible. So I wasn’t surprised to see an art class here,   practising their dinosaur sketches. They had this nice example  

Of a Parasaurolophus skull. And they had a recreation of what its call   would have sounded like, based on its shape. Awww! Little baby dead dinosaur skeletons!  This Iguanodon exhibit was also very impressive. They had an exhibit underneath that showed   how they were discovered. And this separate room with  

Water dinosaurs, like this mosasaur. There’s more to a natural history   museum than just dinosaurs of course, But look, we were there for the dinosaurs, ok?  They also had a lot of other prehistoric creatures  that weren’t dinosaurs, like this megatherium. 

Though smaller than the one in London. And I love the name of this prehistoric   cat: Smilodon. Awesome name.  Keep it up, paleontologists. This Dimetrodon would have been   pretty cool-looking with this giant sail on top. This animal predates dinosaurs by about 40   million years – and it’s actually  more closely related to mammals. 

Now dinosaurs are amazing of course, but something  we were really excited about was coming up next:  the overnight sleeper train  from Brussels to Berlin.  This is a relatively new service that has recently  been offered by Eu ropean Sleeper, a company that  

Was founded in 2021 to fill the recent surge  in demand for overnight trains in Europe.  I love sleeper trains, and I’ve  taken many of them in my life.  Including the 5½ day train from Moscow to  Beijing via Mongolia, which we took back in 2010. 

They’re a great way to travel because they’re  very comfortable, especially if you get a   whole cabin for your group. And the price is excellent   considering you can save on a hotel room. … which are all the things I would have said   about European Sleeper … If they hadn’t 

CANCELLED OUR FUCKING TRAIN THE DAY OF DEPARTURE! I got the email just as we were rocking up   to the largest dinosaur hall in the world, So while my son went to check out the dinosaurs, I rebooked us on an ICE train to Berlin. Now, look. 

Problems happen. I’ve travelled a lot, and I know that.  I’ve been stranded at airports dozens of times. I’ve been stuck for hours on highways   many times, because of a crash. And I’ve had my fair share of cancelled trains.  It’s still painfully frustrating  to have both your transportation  

And sleeping accommodations cancelled at the  same time, especially on the day of departure.  Europe desperately needs more sleeper trains,  and I will talk about that in a future video.  But for now, when your sleeper train is cancelled,  there isn’t really much you can do about it, 

As there normally isn’t a second one leaving  shortly, like there is for a regular train.  Fortunately, there are a lot of  alternatives in this part of Europe.  We decided to take the train  to Cologne later that day, 

And I managed to find a great last-minute deal  on a hotel room right at the train station.  Travel cancellations are never fun, but I actually   find it easier to deal with a cancelled  train compared to a cancelled flight.  Airlines tend to book you on their next  departing flight, even if it’s tomorrow. 

While if your train is cancelled in Germany,  Deutsche Bahn lets you get on any train you want   going in that direction, which is really easy. And there have even been times when I could   get on a better train that I didn’t book  originally, because it was more expensive.

And all this information is fresh  in my mind because we woke up the   next morning to find … well, the same thing   that happened to these guys recently. The reliability of Deutsche Bahn has tanked over   the past few years, reaching an all-time low of  52% for long-distance trains in November of 2023.

I’ve seen people online claiming that this is  due to incompetence by the German railways. But that completely ignores the systemic  issues that have led up to this situation.  The truth is that European countries  have spent significantly more on car   infrastructure than they have on rail  infrastructure over the past 30 years. 

Between 1995 and 2020, the length of highways in   Europe grew by 60% while the length  of railways grew by .. uh … -6.5%. Yeah, they got shorter. Germany spent twice as much   on road infrastructure as it did on rail  infrastructure over the past 30 years,  

While also closing almost 300 stations  and removing 2,700 kilometers of track.  And yes, even the Netherlands spent more than  twice as much on road infrastructure as they did   on rail infrastructure during this same period, And we’re currently paying for that in train  

Delays, because of necessary track upgrades and  maintenance that should’ve been done decades ago. Links to the report in the description.  It frustrates me to no end when people say  that driving is faster than taking the train,   as if it’s some kind of universal truth. I mean, first of all, there are lots of  

Train trips that I have taken in my  life that were faster than driving.  But even ignoring all that, yes, cars are  a point to point method of transportation,  but they are also extraordinarily inefficient  at moving large amounts of people to a  

Similar destination, which is why they are a  terrible choice for travelling within cities,  and why so many billions of Euros need to be  constantly spent on highway widening projects. Projects that usually just  induce demand for more cars.  So yes, when you spend billions and billions  of Euros building highways everywhere,  while simultaneously

Deferring rail maintenance, closing hundreds of train stations, and ripping up thousands of kilometers of tracks, it’s going to be faster to drive. Insert Surprised Pikachu meme. Like now. Thank you. Germany is   now paying for those decades of a chronic  lack of investment in rail infrastructure,  

And this is the root of the majority of problems  that Deutsche Bahn is experiencing today.  In 2023 the German government and Deutsche  Bahn kicked off a 43 billion euro project   to improve the rail system, including  modernizing its signalling infrastructure,

Which is great, but the reason that  number has to be so big in the first   place is because of decades of  underfunding in favour of cars.  These are political issues, not fundamental  issues, and they can and should be fixed. 

If you’d like to learn more, check out my podcast,  The Urbanist Agenda, where I spoke with Real Time   History about how the German railways got into  this situation, and what they’re doing to fix it. You can listen to The Urbanist Agenda  wherever you get your podcasts,  

Or follow the YouTube link in the description.  Uh, that’s great, but you told me this  video was going to be about dinosaurs Yeah yeah yeah, I’m getting to that.. Fortunately for our trip,   we were able to get on another train via  Frankfurt leaving around the same time. 

But, uh, pro tip: we learned that ICE trains  can stop at one of two stations in Cologne,   the Hauptbahnhof and Deutz-Messe,  so make sure you book the right one.  Cuz we didn’t. Thankfully the S-Bahn ran often enough  that we were able to switch stations  

In time to catch our train. And, other than having to   change trains at Frankfurt, the rest  of the trip went off without a hitch.  And we pulled into Berlin right on time. The museum in Berlin was the smallest of   the three we visited, but the main hallway  hosted this impressive set of dinosaurs. 

A diplodocus. And a brachiosaurus.  This is apparently the tallest mounted  dinosaur skeleton in the world and  I can believe it. It’s freak’n huge.  There were several others in this main atrium like this Dysalotosaurus  And this Elaphrosaurus As well as this Kentrosaurus,   a small type of stegosaur. Another fine thagomizer. 

This atrium was great, but we were fortunate  that there was an extra dinosaur exhibit,  Which had a bunch of Allosaurus,  as well as a Tyrannosaurus Rex.  The tyrannosaurus rex is often considered  to be the king of the dinosaurs. Rex literally means king.

Though the largest carnivorous dinosaur we  know of was spinosaurus, which went extinct   about 30 million years before T rex came  along, what T rex definitely had going for. It was its sheer population while only  about 20,000 were alive at any given time.

T rex as a species was around  for about 2.5 million years. And it’s estimated that during that  time, there were over a billion of them. Seeing the skull of one of these  things up close is really terrifying.  Look at the size of those teeth! Tyrannosaurus Rex had an incredibly strong bite  

Force, about twice that of the strongest crocodile  alive today, and strong enough to crush a car.  This put incredible pressure on its teeth,  so T. Rex evolved to re-grow its teeth.  You can see how every alternate tooth in a  T. Rex’s skull is smaller than the one next  

To it as they are constantly regrowing,  a process that would take about 2 years.  This display was marked as a Stygimoloch  (stig-gee-mo-lok) but it’s obviously   a mislabeled dragon skull. And there was another Smilodon.  Such a cute kitty … before it claws your face off. We didn’t have much time to tour around Berlin,  

But that was fine, as we had already  been there the previous year.  It’s just so easy to get to Berlin  from Amsterdam with a single direct   high-speed train between the two cities. A train that’s usually faster than driving, too.  Travelling by train is the best. Sometimes it’s faster than driving. 

Sometimes it’s faster than flying. And sometimes it’s not.  But I honestly think this obsession  with speed completely misses the point.  Driving is stressful. You need to pay attention.  All the time. Or literally everyone inside   your car could get seriously injured or die. Plus a bunch of people outside of your car, too. 

Even as a passenger, driving is boring. You’re constrained to your seat.  Strapped in. You can’t even get up to take a piss.  There’s a reason why kids are known  for saying “are we there yet?”  And why car commuters can’t wait for  computers to do all the driving for them. 

Because they don’t want to do it every day. And flying sucks.  For about a decade I had a job that required me to  fly dozens of times per year, and I’m totally done   with it unless there’s no other alternative. Airports are an exercise in frustration.  Hurry up and wait. Boarding is a painful  

Process where everyone needs to go  through that one door at the front.  And it’s even worse if you’re bused to your plane. Then you get to enjoy the cramped seats.  The loud engines. The dry air.  And the fact that food  tastes terrible at altitude. 

So it’s not surprising to me that the people  who mostly drive or fly focus so much on speed.  Because they just want it to be  over with as soon as possible.  Meanwhile, there’s nothing  better than a good train trip.  You can sit comfortably and look out the window. Or read a book.

Or watch a movie. Or do something productive.  I even worked on this video while on a train! How meta is that?  On a train you can get up and  walk around, go to the washroom, get something from the bar  car, or just stretch your legs. 

Plus you’ve got mobile service  the whole time … ah, ok.  well, except maybe in tunnels. And there’s just something   so satisfying about watching the  world go by on a high-speed train.  We need to fund train  infrastructure appropriately,   and catch up on the decades of underfunding. We need more high-quality and comfortable trains,  

But also, on-time and reliable  train journeys should be the norm,  And not something reserved for  just the Swiss and the Japanese.  For me, the train is not just some method of  transportation that I can’t wait to finish,   it’s genuinely enjoyable. It’s a part of the vacation. 

Which is why as we pulled into Beijing,  after 5½ days on the Trans-Siberian Express,   my wife and I were disappointed. Because it was over too soon.  And it’s why our son, who is not known for  his patience when travelling, had a great  

Time on our trip to London, Brussels, and Berlin. Despite the hassles of getting through Germany.  Because, I mean, yeah, there were dinosaurs. But taking the train was great, too. If you enjoyed the fun zoology segments featuring  TierZoo, you’ll probably also love his channel! 

He makes animal tier list videos, which  are both an entertaining and surprisingly   memorable way to learn about the animal kingdom. His latest video “The Crustacean Tier List” is   great, so maybe start with that one.” You can watch on YouTube of course,   but I recommend watching his videos  ad-free and sponsor-free on Nebula. 

Along with videos from over 150 other creators  that you probably already watched today,   such as RM Transit, CityNerd,  Wendover Productions, Legal Eagle.  Look, we recently signed up Man  Carrying Thing. Like, he’s funny.  You should watch him. Nebula is not your normal streaming service. 

It is owned and operated by the creators,  so it’s built to be as good as possible for   those creators, as well as their fans. It is a streaming service that is not   beholden to advertisers like YouTube or  to rich investors like, well, almost every  

Other subscription streaming service. This means for example that Nebula can   fund the creation of new projects while creators  maintain complete control of what they’ve created.  A great example of this is  Dracula’s Ex-Girlfriend, the   new short film in production by Abigail Thorne. Creations like this wouldn’t be possible without  

The support of Nebula, and Nebula wouldn’t be  possible without its wonderful subscribers.  If this sounds good to you, then  you can sign up for only $30 per   year using the link go.nebula.tv/notjustbikes. That’s not $30 per month, that’s $30 per year.  I really really like Nebula  and I think you might too. 

I’d like to thank all of my supporters on Nebula  and Patreon, who pay me to take the train.  Well ok I probably would  have taken the train anyway,   but they pay me to take the train more often.  And talk about it. And film it and stuff. If you’d like to support this
