Fun fact:
In German railway code there are only two classes (1st and 2nd.
As soon as the train crosses the German border, you-re allowed to use the business class seats with a first class ticket.
If you-re traveling e. g. Munich-Vienna you may book Munich-Salzburg in 1st class, Salzburg-Vienna in business.
That way you can spend the whole journey in business, but save a lot of money
(Business Class Upgrade costs easily +100-)

This past June I was in Europe with some family. We rode the train from Munich to Vienna. It was something I wanted to do on our trip which was ride a train. It was a very interesting experience riding a train in Europe. We stayed overnight in Vienna, and we had such a great time exploring the city. It was a dream of mine since I was young to go to Europe, and it was incredible to live it

Awsome. Vienna HBF, platforms, OBB entering the platform, its exterior color scheme, interior, online ordering of snacks, no words. OBB is paradise on wheels. Connecting two historical and architecturally beautiful cities. Munich is amazing. Love it. Great video. Thank u. Love from India

Like your video but the captions are terrible. Too small, too fast and on top of it in White- which makes them not readable or hard to read about 50% of the time. Add that to the tiny font and fast switching and you have me at the point of not caring to watch your videos anymore.

Hi, I have seen several of your videos today (back to back. I like the videos and your review, however the fact that we have to read and the video is in motion makes us dizzy. I suggest it will be best to put some audio or try to show the text in some different form.

Oh, I miss traveling. Took the same train from Vienna to Munich on a trip with friends and my parents. It was pretty comfortable so smooth. I could do some work. I forgot how smooth it was until I can back to the US and tried to do same on Amtrak. -

In the first two weeks of this month I visited Europe and OBB was the one rail network I truly loved. Yes, Thalys and DB have fast trains but the comfort on both Cityjet and Railjet was unbelieveable. Truly enjoyed traveling by train in Austria.

I'll be honest. The railjet is pretty good (I used it on a short Wien-Budapest ride, but the Regiojet has the same comfort level with lower prices. Or if you talk about the prices, just cheap. 0. 8 euro for a coffee, or a tasty chees cake

Seeing this I understand why the u. k wants to leave the e. u, because the e. u are too advanced for the 3rd world uk. Uk trains are slow, uncomfortable and extremely late so personally i see europe better without the uk.

I wish Athens Central station was like this. Unfortunately we have a population of 10 million in greece and low ridership, but I hope both grow so Athens has nice station like this.
Cheers from Greece!

I travelled in the RailJet twice, from Budapest to Vienna and Vienna to Prague, and they were probably my best train journeys ever.
Nice review, also can you travel in Indian trains once?
Thanks: D

Like the 2nd class. For first I would still prefer the ICE. But I like the online food ordering and the business class (confusing name, though. Reminds me of the Grand Class on Shinkansen.

I completely agree! The RaiiJet is a superb train, especially in 1st lass. Its only real competitor is the D. B ICE3, which also is wonderful, and very melodic from its electronics!

I like Railjet, except the lounge onboard. And there is sometimes issues with reservations. It sometimes doesn't show on the seat label and causes misunderstandings.

Travelled in August 2022 from Linz to Munich in the same Railjet, but second class seating.
Both times it was quite full - which proves that the concept works: D

Very nice trains. The new Siemens coaches used on Florida's Brightline service and now being introduced on some Amtrak routes are based on these coaches.

Crew in DB is horrible, even staff in ICEs usually is rude, lazy and doesn't speak any English, so I didn't expect to hear something good about these guys

Did you know the Siemens Taurus locomotives play a musical scale when they pull out. Love it! We need locomotives like that here in the USA.
