New NHK World show: Japan Railway Journal

[kvp]

Would it be possible to create multiple dedicated free accounts only for these episodes?

[Bruno]

Yeah i figured it out after i posted. But each rail journal episode was 45mins of uploading. Double for train cruise.

if you have windows google has a software google drive it can help because it is working alone

[Bruno]

Okay here's the episode I've begin to upload

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4C05zzxk1-6bEhjRFcxU2NEQVk

 

Densha you can post this link each time you post a new episode

 

NB : 8 more episodes to upload :)

[LeeC22]

I have a 80 go for Google so I can easily host them 

I'll begin and keep you informed

I'll post the links this way Densha can post the last episode and all the archive ones

 

I must look what is "Train Cruise episodes"

Can you give me a link of one of your favorite please?

 

 

Thanks go to

https://drive.google.com

Then it is easy

I think if you go through this thread, you can find links to all of the Train Cruise episodes. http://www.jnsforum.com/community/topic/8278-nhk-world-running-a-show-called-train-cruise/

 

I honestly can't remember the episodes well enough to choose a favourite. It's not as technical as JRJ, it's a more cultural kind of show, showing the scenery and local culture of different parts of Japan.

For train cruise only 3 links are working but with the help of everyone we will everything

Sorry to hear that mate. Computers are great when they work...

[LeeC22]

I have sent this to dabsan but just in case he's tied up with other things, I'll post the link to the episode on my Google Drive. This is Episode 26, not one of the best episodes in my books, although that railway does look amazing... I would love to visit and ride on that.

Turning Problems into Opportunities: The Tsugaru Railway's Strategy

 

Tsugaru Railway is a local private railway that runs for 20.7km in Aomori Prefecture, in northern Japan. Its "Stove Train" is now a popular tourist attraction in winter, but 10 years ago the company narrowly escaped crisis when ridership began to significantly decrease due to local depopulation and the shift to motorization. See how an outsider CEO saved the company by gathering funds and came up with unique ideas and turned problems into opportunities. Then see Iwakura High School - a school that teaches railway related curriculums.

Next week will come another new episode about the wheels of trains in Japan and rails. A point to note is that the ICE in Germany uses similar wheels of the Shinkansen, it can be explained that this happens due to the accident of Eschede in 1998 where the main cause was the fracture of one of its wheels.
