Aww man, I wish we had these in Austria. Don't get me wrong, the trains here are nice, but they are sooo slow that most of the times it's quicker and cheaper to get to your destination by car on the Autobahn, especially if you just buy the ticket a few days before the journey without any discounts and pay full price.
- Freak_NL 4y agoÖBB is leading the pack on the sleeper train front though. Wien, Graz, Innsbruck, all linked up to the rest of Europe on a neat network of NightJet trains. The next generation of rolling stock for the sleeper cars looks amazing too.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoSure, but Graz - Vienna train route is still slow as shit and that's Austria's second city. The train travels at like ~100km/h average or something, which is pathetic compared to high speed trains in Germany or France. I get that this could be a limitation of the Austrian landscape making fast train infra challenging, but even a Flixbus traveling on the slow lane on the Autobahn gets you there ~30 min faster and at half the price of OBB. The trains are nice and the service is great, but the speeds are a joke for the price of the non-discounted tickets as even traveling on the autobahn by bus can be faster on most routes.
