I've ridden Business class on Railjet a couple of times. If you have a Eurail Global first class pass, you have to pay an extra 15 Euros. But it was definitely worth it. I think you get a free drink or beer with it.

I know, I also traveled on Interrail tickets this summer :-)

My wife and I recently went Bratislava to Zurich. Long trip (about 9 hours) but some of the scenery, especially in the latter part of the trip, was absolutely stunning

@PeteBrandy 8 месяцев назад

Yes, the route especially from Salzburg through Innsbruck and Feldkirch offers stunning scenery. I traveled from Vienna to Bregenz a month ago and to Zurich in the spring, so I had the opportunity to see both the summer and winter version :-)

Ahoj Pete. Amazing Railway Station in Munich. Another interesting trip report. Fantastic Eurosprinter and Cars. Greetings from Warsaw to Prague 🤚🤚🤚😉😉😉

@PeteBrandy 8 месяцев назад

Część Piotrek! Thanks for watching! Railjets are very nice trains and Taurus (Eurosprinter) is one of my favorite locomotives. Greetings from Prague :-)

@mx338 8 месяцев назад

I took the same service to Salzburg recently and I quite enjoyed the ride, though I only really spent the time drinking beer and eating Schnitzel bun with a colleague in the restaurant section. But looking at the interior DB trains somehow always always have slightly more comfortable welcoming vibe. But overall a great travel experience.

@pascalnemecek1502 8 месяцев назад

Hi Pete, always nice to be able to follow you in your Trip Reports on video. I love escaping by train like you. Coming back to your trip, the Railjet is a great train 🇦🇹 somewhat my favorite. I also took it in March to go to Wien before going to see my ancestors in Prague 🇸🇽. On the other hand, I found the toilets not great in 2nd Class. I paid €26.90. Thank you for sharing this memory with me. My next trip in December is a day in Zurich with all these trains. Best regards from Dives Cabourg in Prague 👋😀👍📽️🚂🤩🤩🤩🇩🇪🇦🇹

Salut Pascal! Thanks for watching! Railjets are my favorites too. Btw. the toilets were already upgraded in some Railjets. Best regards from Prague to Dives Cabourg :-)

@MartinBrez 7 месяцев назад

Railjets are one of my favourite trains in Europe. Used the ÖBB version from Vienna to Budapest in 2017. I used the ČD version from Vienna to Prague in July 2023. Both times in economy. I felt they were better or just as good as many first class seats.

@PeteBrandy 7 месяцев назад

The same, Railjet are also one of my favourite trains :-)

@darrishng6540 8 месяцев назад

Wow! That's another great review that you got here :) I noticed that there were literally no stops at all for this service within the German territory until Salzburg,.... that makes the journey extra fast to be called RJX ;) However, I noticed that the coach in which you are sitting had a lot of rattling noises which isn't comfortable when it runs at high speed. Honestly, I didn't expect to hear this on board a rail jet since they are known for their high-quality service. Keep it on with your hard work, I'm sure it will pay off one day 😊😊 Cheers from M'sia

@michaelibk418 8 месяцев назад

I wouldn't call the route between Munich and Salzburg fast. This part wasn't improved by Deutsche Bahn for Decades. It still has no priority to improve speed and infrastructure bei Bavaria and DB. This is a huge topic between Austria and Germany. I don't want generalize but Austria here has put much more money into railway than Germany. Its fair to say that finally Germany is willing to improve infrastructure but it will take decades.

@PeteBrandy 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching. That noise is common with these trains and in reality it is not so audible, but as it's relatively quiet in the train, the microphone picks up those sounds more sensitively. This noise comes from the interior, which is common with other trains as well.. Greetings from Prague to Malaysia :-)

@darrishng6540 8 месяцев назад

@PeteBrandy I see. That is a great quality microphone you got 😃

@keithparker5125 8 месяцев назад

An excellent trip on one of my favourite train sets. A couple of points - firstly, I have found the layout of business class varies in that the trains I have travelled on heading to Switzerland have been of an open configuration whereas others have been like the train you travelled on; secondly, OeBB seems to work on a fixed fare for a journey with a reservation fee of €3 for standard class, €6 for first class, and €15 for business class. I am looking forward o trying out the Railjet2s next year (if they are introduced on the Innsbruck - Bregenz route).

@PeteBrandy 8 месяцев назад

Railjet is also one of my favorite trains. Otherwise, most Railjets are configured with semi-compartments in business class (the one I traveled with). I think there are 8 ÖBB Railjets with an open configuration of Business class, they were Railjets from a series of 15 for České dráhy, but České dráhy ended up buying only 7 Railjets, the rest remained with ÖBB and now they mostly run on the Wien - Venice route. The prices for seating are probably different, today I traveled by Railjet to Salzburg on an Interrail ticket and I paid €3 for 1st class reservation :-D Otherwise, I am also looking forward to the new Railjet 2 being in operation.

@sebastianhofmann17 8 месяцев назад

what i know is the first route for the new Railjets Munich - Verona. At least the was said at the press conferenc on th 20th

@Brauiz90 8 месяцев назад

Did you notice that the control car looks exactly like the front of the Taurus locomotive? On the next generation of Railjets the conrol car looks like the front of a Siemens Vectron because they're planned to be pulled by a Vectron in Railjet design like the now operating ones have a Taurus in Railjet design, sometimes replaced by a "regular" ÖBB Taurus (I've seen a trainset parked in Salzburg a few weeks ago) and with the new Nightjet it's the same. Sometimes, when I visit my family in Leipzig (Germany), I take the Railjet on this route between Salzburg and Munich or back.

@PeteBrandy 8 месяцев назад

Railjets are great trains. Yes, I didn't mention that the control car is the same design as the Taurus locomotive because I assumed most people knew that. Btw. The 1st generation Railjet can also run (and communicate) with a Vectron locomotive, the 2nd generation will also be able to run with Taurus locos (ČD already tested Vectron with Railjet and they will probably use 1216 locomotives with ComfortJet sets initially, before delivery of the new Vectrons for 230 km/h).

@Brauiz90 8 месяцев назад

@@PeteBrandy That fact was mentioned when ÖBB introduced their new plans for the new Railjet/Nightjet series. It can be that the vectrons can't be delivered on time so they can use Taurus (1116/1216) instead. To be honest - I didn't care what kind of loco is on the train, as long as it moves (I'm originaly from Germany, now living in Salzburg for over a year and in Germany any kind of loco is fine, as long as it moves. I've seen a 143 (former GDR 243 electric locomotive) on an IC service.

@PeteBrandy 8 месяцев назад

@@Brauiz90 You wrote about Salzburg and I just returned from Salzburg today :-D Yes, that's right, I think that initially the new Railjet 2 will probably be operated with Taurus locomotives. ÖBB has a lot of 1116 / 1216 and Vectron in the 230 km/h version will probably come later. I know BR 143, I had it in my Modelbahn :-) It's the same situation here in the Czech Republic, recently locomotive 362 (Eso) hauled a Raljet set due to broken 1216.

Ahoj Pete, zajímavé že červený railjet má kupé narozdíl Modrého Tj , vypadáto luxusně, jsem zvědav až budou Comfordjety,, něco podobného bude mít vlastně OBB ale v Nightjetu

@PeteBrandy 8 месяцев назад

6 červených ÖBB Railjetů má také stejné uspořádání jako mají ty modré ČD, ale to jsou ty neodebrané (původně měly ČD odebrat myslím 15 railjetů).. jinak modré railjety mají jiné uspořádání, protože ČD chtěly větší kapacitu v 2. třídě, takže se muselo vše nacpat jen do jednoho vozu.

Já se řídím podle obsazenosti. V srpnu jsem jel Railjetem z Vídně do Bregenz (také přes Innsbruck) a v 1. třídě byla ještě volná dobrá místa a naopak v Business už jen místa v kupé, tak jsem jel 1. třídou.. ale v září z Mnichova 1. třída celkem plná a Business skoro prázdný.
