According to all indicators, Austrian Railways is one of Europe’s best, especially in providing railway services and performance. Also, according to some recent research, they are just behind the Swiss railways according to the distance traveled by train per inhabitant.
Of course, in this RE video, went back in history to deliver some essential and exciting milestones in the historical timeline of Austrian railways, we showed the detailed structure of Austrian railways with a special focus on recent structural reform, and of course, we discussed some interesting facts and figures that show the amazing performance of the Austrian railway system.
Just to name a few, Austria has one of the most satisfied rail customers in Europe, it is a place where inhabitants travel mostly by train and where the largest bus carrier is owned by the railways, where more than 90 percent of all passenger trains run on electric energy generated exclusively from renewable sources, it is among the European leaders in per capita investment in the rail network, etc.

It’s in fact quite logical and for the same reason petro states usually fail despite their abundance of natural resources; the easier life becomes, the less effort you’ll have to make to get your life on tracks (see what I did there 😉😇). Scandinavian countries have to make huge efforts in order to survive and look at where it brought them. Southern countries generally had easier circumstances for survival, and now they’re mostly bankrupt…

Actually, it makes perfect sense. Typically flat and fertile countries can easily transport goods with horse drawn carts, and countries with coastal links can use ships. Landlocked, mountainous countries are tough to get around, so the steam railway was a game changer; countries like Switzerland and Austria relied on railways for connectivity in the early days, and even now cars have advanced to where they can easily traverse this terrain, the railways are embedded enough in the national culture and infrastructure to still be popular.

You could also mention the large infrastructure projects: the Koralm, Semmering and Brenner base tunnels all being worked on at once. Compared to Switzerland, Austria is a little behind in these Alpine crossings, and some projects were delayed hugely by endless legal battles, but at least they are now all three on track, so in the coming years we will see significant changes in the way the Austrian railways are operating. In terms of branch lines it's not all that rosy but at least it seems like the current government is rail friendly. Then again, projects of this magnitude exceed the legislative term of any government, they have to be brought on track decades before they are complete.

Side note: Punctual for SBB means to not have more than three minutes of delay!

As an Austrian i have to say its a really nice place to live, i live in the region of St. Pölten (yes it was mentioned in the video) an i can reach many places within 20 minutes. Unfortunately a lot of people still drive with theri cars because there is simply no availible connection to the small villages, which we have a bunch of. So at the end of the day its reeeally great, but can be improved (also in the maintaining part because trains get often delayed)

As someone who works for the ÖBB let me add some things to this excellent video. In recent years there has been a heavy focus on expanding and improving the network from things like the Koralm, Semmering and Brenner Tunnels to the double track expansion of the Pottendorfer line. Passesnger number have significantly shot up this year thanks to covid restrictions being almost completely lifted and the introduction of the "Klimaticket" which is basically a one time fee for almost every kind of public transportation in the country. And due to that increase we are struggling very hard to keep up with the demand :D The main lines are usually pretty well maintained but the smaller side lines are in pretty bad condition with infrequent services. The line going into my town is one of those for example, there have been talks of electrifying it for decades now but nothing happened to this day. Also stuff that is worth mentioning is that we used to build all our locomotives in house with custom designs specifically tailored to our needs. Sadly that went away with the re structuring of the company (thanks EU for that one) so now we have to resort to off the shelf solutions from siemens most of the time and heavily modify the base to get something useful. Overall it was a really nice and enjoyable video !

Interesting that you're sponsored by Harting. I work in an industrial research lab for a large company that is also a major supplier to the railway industry (hint: Axle boxes with three letters on the cover) and Harting connectors are used to plug together some of our test equipment. Also, I think you made a mistake near the end. You mention a wind turbine plant of 3 MW. Just one wind turbine can generate 3 MW (and bigger ones, such as offshore installations, go up to 6 MW each). Perhaps you quoted the wrong figure.

When I moved to Austria initially, I was quite impressed with the railway infrastructure, network and satisfaction was a given. The scenic views while travelling by train are of course stunning but a few experiences recently dented that joyful experience and satisfaction that I had come to expect quite a bit. There have recently been a spate of delays due to some or the other reason, be it catenary faults or repair work. I don't know if just I am that unfortunate to be facing these issues every so often or whether they really have increased in the past half year. Recently, I had to spend the whole night at a train station because I missed the last connecting train to my destination due to the previous train's delay in arrival. Normally, I have noticed they also delay the connecting train within reasonable limits to make up for the delay, i.e., up to 10 or 15 mins. But this time the previous train was almost 40 minutes late and they of course couldn't delay the connecting train that much resulting in me having to stay put at the station all night. There is a provision that you can avail a taxi or some other mode of transport up to a value of 50 euro and an overnight stay at a hotel up to a value of 80 euro which the ÖBB reimburses but the train was so late that there were neither taxis plying in the region nor were there any hotels in the vicinity which were open to guests. In addition to this incident, there have been occasions where the train simply stopped at a train station and I had to get off and take a taxi to reach home. I still like to think the ÖBB is quite reliable and I would still rank it as one of the better railway services worldwide, but given how small the country that it operates in is, it definitely has a large scope for improvement. In my experience, it is definitely much better than the Deutsche Bahn, but again, the Deutsche Bahn operates in a significantly bigger country.

If you could provide me more specific details on which trains you used (or tried to..) I maybe could give you some answers on why those were delayed etc. I agree, this summer was and is extremely challenging, for travelers and ÖBB. There are so many trains overcrowded and need to be evacuated because of safety reasons (thanks to the Klimaticket), so many trains or locomotives dying due to overheating or other technical issues. Or tracks simply breaking because of an combination of overheating and vandalism. Also the fact that passengers are more agressive than pre-covid and the increase in accidents/suicides with people involved (this incurs a minimum delay of around 2 hours at that location until the officials are done with their investigation). Also Region Ost borrowed Tyrol I think more than 15 train sets because Bombardier (now Alstrom) couldn`t deliver their Talent 3 train sets because they did not get a license to run on austrian tracks (because safety reasons) and thats why you can encounter more of the older blue train sets (4020) in and around Vienna. Which are really sturdy, but almost all of them are around 40 years old. My explanations probably won`t help you that much, but maybe you got a small glimpse of whats going on.

@@RailwaysExplained Yeah as BeStu said, drivers and locomotives are owned by ÖBB Produktion GmbH and are leased to ÖBB Personenverkehr AG, unlike the waggon material which is owned and operated by ÖBB Personenverkehr AG themselves. So for train to go from A to B they (Personenverkehr) need to put their material on the tracks and lease a driver (and a locomotive if necessary), pay a fee to ÖBB Infrastruktur AG for the tracks and depending on the setup, put up to 2 train conductors into it. It´s quite impressive how they manage it now, because like you mentioned in your video, the ÖBB isn´t a single company anymore (thanks EU...)

Being from Britian I'm always intreged at watching the section that explains how the railway is structured. It looks similar to how British Rail was structured, but you mentioned the reforms of railways during the 90s and 2000s. Was this a transition from the railways being nationalised to being a private company operating a legal monopoly that happens to be owned by the state?
@Rudl1044
@Rudl1044 Год назад
There was a transition from being basically a department of the MOT to a company run by the state then to a company owned by the state but always one railway - one organism. In 2005 however, according to some shady EU-legislation, the ÖBB was split up into different organisations - now a train runs on the tracks of the Infra, is owned and conducted by Personenverkehr, maintained by Technische Services (lately called 'TrainTech'), and driven by Produktion. They all directly or indirectly belong to the Holding, of which the state Austria holds 100% of its shares. Apart from only long-distance services Vienna - Salzburg and Germany - Innsbruck - Italy, all passenger services are ordered by national (long distance) or local (commuter services) authorities.

I will say, it's not all roses. Especially regional lines that head east from Vienna (basically, the S7 and S60 rail lines and all the REX trains that travel on them as well) can be downright horrendous. Totally normal occurence to encounter ancient 4020 trains in decrepit condition there, as well as extremely frequent outages no matter which train model occuring there as well. I imagine that is an especially awful occurrence for slovakians trying to reach Petrszalka station, who get stuck in random stations in the Austrian countryside with explanations only given in German, and the older ÖBB employees usually found on regional lines not even speaking English. The S7 is it's own horror as well, delays accumulating throughout the day in a sort of domino-effect because the S7 line only has ONE SET OF RAILS eastward of the Vienna airport station, meaning trains have to wait in stations to pass each other. It's also a relatively important commuter train, so it was extremely baffling to me how long it took for frequency to be increased around the time most people go to and leave from work. Also, whenever track maintenance is conducted, all trains on this line immediately cannot run, as the single-rail nature of the line of course makes it impossible to service one set of tracks at a time without the rails immediately becoming unusable. The replacement buses in these cases are always horribly managed, the ÖBB apparently exepecting 1 or 2, perhaps 3 if you are lucky, buses to hold as many people as a train that before even going one third of the way to Vienna, is usually already full to the brim with every seat occupied and plenty of people standing. But yea long-distance trains are ran extremely well, barely any complaints here, except that one time where I booked 'first class' only to end up in a car that had no WiFi and 1 power outlet for 4 people...

Digga keine Staatseisenbahn jemals schreibt Schwarze Zahlen. Im Osten (Ab Salzburg-Wien) ist der Railjet auch ziemlich gut unterwegs. Ich fahre im Jahr zwischen 30 und 40 mal Langstrecke (Halbieren weil ich hin und zurück einzeln zähle) und hab in maximal 5 Fällen Verspätung wobei sie sich äußerst selten auf über 20 min. beläuft (eher im bereich 5 min.).

I live in the USA and I am in awe of the Austrians investing into their rail infrastructure, both the rolling stock and their state of the art train stations. Every time I land at Vienna Intl. Airport, I head right down into the train station below the arrival hall to catch a high speed Railjet within minutes....55 minutes later I am in the deepest Mostviertel. Unbelievable. Always on time, never late, never been disappointed. Funny how some people always seem to find the "hair in the soup". Cheer up, Austria does it better than most! One Love,

So ein Schwachsinn! Für den Fernverkehr kann man so unfassbar günstige Preise finden, wenn man früh genug bucht oder zu randzeiten fährt. Der Nahverkehr wird von den Bundesländern vorgegeben, und hält sich auch um Rahmen. Bregenz-Wien sind 6 Stunden, in 6 Stunden durchs ganze Land ist annehmbar. Die Züge sind fast immer pünktlich, die meisten Verspätungen entstehen im Ausland. Entfallen tun züge fast nie.

Uhh no. OBB is a train wreck and I will die on this hill. Every goddamn time I need to use them a train breaks down for a few hours

Nothing interesting about infrastructure or system or pecularities or expansions but 3 minutes of useless trash talk about windmills and solar panels.

In case anyone wants to upgrade to & integrate affordable, safer, more reliable... faster than current high-speed rail using off the shelf conventional (non-MagLev) components & technologies which are already fully compliant with all known local & international standards & regulations... i am in the process of securing a patent.... Meantime, if anyone wants to inquire for possible licensing, please feel free to contact me.
