Mainly travelling to/from Austria, Italy and France. Secondarily, Germany, the Czech Republic and Switzerland. I am based in Austria, and my focus will be on long-distance travel, but I will offer all kinds of tips for local and regional trains, from ways to reduce prices to the most beautiful routes. 86eKpmQDr6he6DyfwkzeZSDaAdjbhSaNxNyRY3kvjYxTNE5xQdQ6XMXEX3zJeiqUx8QE8aLqSAkiE39vBW7w5ew1UuMUk8C
SNCF has a flash offer for today and tomorrow: 50k tickets for €19 each. National routes, with travel dates between November 3 and December 12. image
A Coradia Stream, in a livery for Trenitalia InterCity, arriving at InnoTrans 2026. I travel quite often with the older ones, so this will be a nice upgrade.
In Vienna, for whatever reason, you can rent an old-school tramway. (In Austrian German, a tram is called a "Bim")
TIL that in Wuppertal (Germany), there also exists an Imperial Car for their suspended railway. I need to do some homework. Beautiful!
Always a pleasure to meet an Austrian ÖBB "into the wild". Brescia Train Station, Venice to Munich.
A Westbahn train from Graz to Vienna Central Station in Meidling Bahnhof. Not the best spot to take a video. 🤷
S-Bahn (S2) in Wien Mitte (Vienna Centre) train station towards Mödling.
REX3 in Wien Mitte (Vienna Centre) train station towards Vienna Meidling train station.
From a Swiss train driver on the Lausanne to Bern route. Lac Léman for locals, Lake Geneva for tourists.
Freight trains, as beaten to death as some of them look, are still trains.
A Polish PKP Intercity with a Czech locomotive from České Dráhy in Austria.
The VT 18.16 express train, built in 1968, was a German Reichsbahn jewel. This beauty has been undergoing restoration for several years by a non-profit organisation and right now they're making test runs and staff training. Here, you can see the train departing from Halberstadt towards Thale. When they announce something concrete, I'll let you know.
