The ICE International service from Belgium and the Netherlands to Germany (and limited extensions to Switzerland) is one of Europe's most unreliable high speed train services... that is until the introduction of the brand new ICE 3neo (BR408), which have completely replaced the older trains that were plagued with technical issues. This week we'll be checking out the new face of international train travel in Germany and seeing just how much of an improvement they'll be bringing to these services. Enjoy the video!
