New NJB: Driebergen-Zeist Station
Added 2023-09-22 10:05:00 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
My latest video is about a train station, but it's a particularly nice train station! The station of Driebergen-Zeist was recently renovated, and I had the pleasure of using this station over the past year.
This is a small station, kinda in the middle of nowhere, but it's surprisingly well designed and it will be the template for future small train stations in the Netherlands.

I hope you enjoy it! I really like this train station and I'm legitimately sad to leave it!

I tried to work through Steffen to get Arcadis to help with the video (behind the scenes, access too non-public areas) but they didn't see the value in working with a "youtuber" 🙄 so I didn't mention them. Their loss!

2023-09-29 12:12:59 +0000 UTCI knew which ad it would be before even clicking on it. :) It's quite old now (several decades). The creator of it has said that he's happy if it's used online to discourage car use, but I haven't used it because it's unclear who actually owns the copyright on it.

2023-09-29 12:11:31 +0000 UTCHey Jason, can I just say how cool it is to read (on LinkedIn) Arcadis architect, Tom Kramer's appreciation of your video on the Driebergen-Zeist station. He is clearly thrilled to learn that someone noticed the care and attention that was given to the details of that station. An excerpt: "Work of a transit architect is best if it's not drawing too much attention to itself, but feels natural and logical, serving to smoothen the end users experience and promoting the public-transport use. That these things are mentioned here is humbling, but also shows the keen eye of the reporter #not_just_bikes here noticing such easily overlooked details we put into the design. Details needed to reach a level that apparently draws an international urbanist-fan to notice a small station in a small country. It just makes me proud of our work and our Dutch public transport system." (I saw this because I follow Steffen Berr over there.)

2023-09-29 05:56:14 +0000 UTCI didn't know about this commercial that was meant to sell cars but is remembered for illustrating how space-consuming cars are, and now that I know of it, you need to use it in a video at your earliest opportunity :p . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_oWmY_mkCA&ab_channel=EliyahuBiton
