I watched it entirely. It had a great advantage of being taken from the cab, which is quite different experience from anything you can see from a window of a passenger car (of course, you can get something similar at the other side, but in a modern train, most likely a driving car with another driver's cab (unaccessible) occupies that space, and if not, then there are just quite small and narrow windows in the rear door), especially live. It's worth watching even if you already knew the route as a passenger.

On the other hand, it had a disadvantage of Bergensbanen being mostly just a long long row of endless tunnels. Seeing a name of the tunnel, it's length in kilometers and then watching 15 minutes of darkness… isn't quite interesting.

Does anyone know of a similar video of the shinkansen journey between two cities in Japan (presumably Tokyo and Osaka)? I showed my dad this Norway video and he brought up the Japanese one, but couldn't remember the details.

I downloaded that giant video (22gb?) on bittorrent and wouldn't you know it, my file is corrupted!
