No luggage limitations, no frisking at airports - great advantages of the train.
Also directly between downtown to downtown
@@rezaalan3991 Yes, no - generally overpericed - airport-shuttle needed :-)
No luggage limitations? Try to have a huge trunk on a packed ICE...
Better CO2 footprint
@@e.458 YES
Very nice, solid and comfortable train. This is German Quality🇩🇪
Leon. Trains in some parts of the uk travel at an average speed of 25 kmph. It's not going to get any better in this century.
Those glass doors are impressively clean and well-maintained, as is the entire train!
The doors are automatic. So no need, and use, to touch them. Helps a lot of seeing no finger prints.
Damn. I take the ICE pretty regularly, but this makes it seem so exciting!
Is that how Japanese people feel about the Shinkansen? 😅
Another thing to mention to make your trip even more comfortable:
There are actually 2 types of second class carriages: One type is (mostly) for business people who want to work, make phone calls and are just a bit more noisy (Thats the one you were in, with the cellphone symbol). In the second type you are advised to be quiet, so you and others can enjoy the ride, sleep, things like that (This one has a "shush!" symbol). These symbols are located inside and outside the train. Or you can choose the carriage you prefer when you make a seat reservation, you just have to ask for.
And for the capability of carrying a bicycle with you: they aren´t allowed in every long distance train, you definitely have to check that out before you go, and be aware of train changes, too. In regional trains it isn´t a big deal usually.
Lhl
Not too long ago (shortly before Corona blew in full force) I treated myself to a 1st class trip on the ICE on my way back from vacationing with my parents in the Alps... While I certainly did enjoy the added "luxury" there, I actually found the legroom between the seats a little too wide... but I guess that's just me, I have that habit of cramming myself in between the seats and curl up to take a nap. However, the free WiFi and super clean toilets in 1st class were great, as was the fact that 1st class carriages seem to have a double seat on one side of the aisle and a single seat on the other. I opted for the single seat. Really comfy! And yes, I do strongly prefer - and recommend - booking seats in the "quiet zone"!
So finally you made your way to Germany 🇩🇪.
Good Morning! Tickets please!
@@SternenruferinPatchouli1
No tickets 😂
I'm like a freebie
Don't forget the shown ICE serie (Class 411 and its sister 415, and also class 403 and its sister 406) were developed in the mid 90s and began operation in the late 90s. Over 20 years old today and still impressive. During the Expo 2000 in Hannover I traveled the first time in a class 403 - from inside quite similar to 411. Riding this class back then was like from another world.
Wien Main Station almost gives the feeling of being in an airport 😀
But without the stress of check in and security.
@@DylansTravelReports yay rail vehicles
Stress not really. I like being at an airport, going through security and relaxing in the Departure Lounge, and watching all the aircraft taking off and landing.
That looks like a very nice train, I really like the interior. It seems like a really smooth ride for a really good price. Thanks for taking us along!
It sure was 😁
I've only taken one ICE train from Muenchen to Nuernberg, but it was fantastic. The train looked exactly how yours did, and I was in Nuremberg in just 1 hour and 10 minutes. Unbelievable, considering a train here in Ireland would take at least 2 hours to cover the same distance, and we didn't even go full speed!
Doesn't this just make the case for HSR in Ireland?😉
@@Neville60001 sadly not every country is suited for HSR corridors (not sure about Ireland). Norway is a great example. Very rich and yet the (super comfortable and scenic) train ride from Trondheim to Oslo will take a loong time as low population density and difficult topography do not warrant the constructuon of what surely would be a multi billion bridge-tunnel-bridge highspeed connection.
Good thing is they will be the first country to make domestic flights fully electric by 2040...
@@velotill, that's complete bullshit, and you know it; many nations that are large are planning HSR, in particular the United States (and China, which is just as large, has HSR through all of it as well.) There are parts of the United States that can can accommodate an HSR corridor, and there are probably parts of Norway that can do the same. As for fully electric flights, I'll believe that when (and _if_ ) I see it.
@@Neville60001 I'm not an apologist for things being stuck with HSR in CA I was just repeating what I've heard and read in recent updates were the causes for the delays.
Have a good one
@@velotill, said delays are just that-delays. They do not mean the idea of HSR across the United States (and here in Canada) isn't valid.
This looked like a relaxing journey. I agree with your comment about the soft lighting. Thank you for sharing with us.
this ICE has the biggest space for your feet in second class, 97.5 cm. in the others its mostly 85
I love the Electronic Seat reservation over the seat.
Beautiful train.
Going from city center to city center is way better than flying. I wish they had these trains when I lived in Europe. Train travel is way better today , thanks again for a great vlog.
Thanks 😁
Thanks for the bicycle information, always very useful when planning a journey to see what is actually available and the reservation requirements. Cheers, Tim.
Beautiful train. Thanks for the tour! Nicely done.
Glad you enjoyed it
As usual, a great trip report! Looking forward to seeing future ones!
Thanks!
Dylan's Travel Reports NP
Thank you very much now I know where is the entrance of Wien Hbf,now I can travel the ICE from Wien to Köln
The buzz/hum from the pantograph would drive me bonkers.
You’re right. It’s a pain in the Arsch.
Its got to be better then the rickety deisel rattling in the UK
Great to see your back. And (I'm a Brit living in Austria) nice to see Austria to Germany as your first trip. I live South of Saint Polten which you probably went through. I'm bored with flying back to the UK. Driving was long and tiring. So train journeys back to and from UK plus around Europe. Mainly thanks to you and your blogs. So keep up the excellent work. 😉
Wien Hbf nach Köln Hbf, Köln Hbf nach Brussel Sud und dann Brussel Sud nach London mit Eurostar.
Thanks! Will do!
It's interesting to see all the HLB (Hessische Landesbahn -- Hessian State Railways) trains at Aschaffenburg. in 1975, during my second tour of duty in Germany, I rode the DB train from Aschaffenburg to Frankfurt quite regularly until I finally got a car. The announcer after Hanau had a noticable southern German accent -- he probably got on in Munich -- oh wait, you didn't go through Munich it seems -- how about Passau?. In the northern part of Bavaria, the people speak Franconian dialects, or even Hessian in Aschaffenburg, and sound different.
I think the conductor came all the way from Vienna.
The presentation (my second of your series - first time watching your channel) shows that you care for a good production, Dylan. Wording, timing, and overall scenes from panorama and details are very good.
I look forward to seeing more of your shows.
Thanks! Glad to hear you're liking the videos.
Thank you for using the extra time you had on your hands to show us around and give us additional information.
My pleasure!
That looked very enjoyable ! I would take this any day over flying !!!
Thank you for sharing this with us !!! :):):)
You are the best Dylan and thanks for the video😺
Thanks 😁
Very good and interesting video Dylan. I've been looking at some journeys in Germany, at a heads up for a possible trip for Euro 2024, so it's good to know how good an intercity service is with DB. I'll certainly make note of it for future reference, whenever I decide to visit Germany by rail
That stop directly after the platform happens each time. It is for one of the dining car workers bringing the engineer coffee. It is quite normal.
I'm so glad I found an answer to this! I've travelled german trains for years and don't even notice that we do the stop anymore... but never knew why until now.
I doubt that answer in this case. Why? Because the dining car staff wouldn't need to leave the train to access the cab. The cabs are als accessible from inside as you can see at 16:15, it shows the rear cab door and the "lounge" between the passenger doors and the cab.
Wakajce although someone wrote somerthing wrong, it is still no reason to be disrespectful.
@@Wakajce I think it was meant as a joke.
Isn't that to refill water and coal?
I traveled Paris-Bordeaux (500 km) with the TGV in 2 hours ! It was also very impressive ...
I really love tripreports without any voice overs, just pure subtitles, great job!
Thanks!
Very nice train. I have travelled from Frankfurt to Stuttgart in this train. Nice
A well made and enjoyable Video. I have travelled on the DB Ice from Amsterdam to Frankfurt, journey time 4 hours and it was a fast and efficient service and I seem to recall, that we arrived in Frankfurt 10 minutes ahead of schedule.
Glad you enjoyed! The ICEs are fantastic trains imo. Very efficient.
Excellent video as usual Dylan. Looking forward to next week's already!
Thanks!
Trains are relaxing man no need to fear the risk of heights or the worry of xtra luggage.its good they reordering food to each and every passenger.
Really nice video.. I love traveling by train. Maybe when things get back to normal I wanna go from Amsterdam to London.
Finnaly after a long wait
I really enjoyed that.thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
As Darth Vader once said "impressive......most impressive"! The decor was very nice. The seat seemed very comfortable. Another awesome video Dilly! Keep safe and healthy =)
Thanks! Take care!
Maybe it stopped due to sifa or pzb, that's what always catches me out in the sim!!!
Yes, either it was the "restrictive mode" of the PZB train control system, or - more likely in this case - just a normal stop at the last signal of the station (which in Linz is more than 700m from the platforms when traveling westbound). The location in the video would match quite nicely: sitting in the last car of a double ICE-T trainset he would be about 350m from the signal, which puts him right next to the sidings we see in the video.
Btw congrats on 20k subs!!
Thank you so much 😀
Long ago while waiting for my first ICE trip on Munich Hbf, i got into conversation with a middle aged German who said, as an English speaker, once you board the ICE, you will soon realise that the word ICE though an abbreviation, stands true to its English meaning. Sure enough, within half an hour inside the train, I started shivering from the chill!
Subsequently ICE has become our preferred mode of transport during our several trips to Germany. I particularly remember journey from Paris-Est to Stuttgart Hbf by ICE 9573 where the train attained a speed of 318 km/hr.
The Paris-Est sure is amazing. I have a review of that on an ICE coming up in the future.
Very nice,
ICE it's good quality build
Well wow, so many deserved subscribers!!!
Thanks!
A really very smart and nice train. The unexpected stop could be down to a passanger pulling the emergancy button .
Stopping just outside Linz could have been a crew change, there appears to be a large train depot there.
This pertains to all your videos that my wife and I have watched so far, and we plan on watching them all. You are very talented in making them. They are so easy to watch as you show things well and long enough to see what you are showing and you also explain very clearly what you are showing. You also have an excellent voice which is easy to understand. You have comments at bottom of what we are watching that are perfect in the explanation, and you leave them on long enough to read them, which is really great compared to other videos where if you want to read you have to pause it (which I don't).
You are showing us things and places that we would never get to see in the life we have left, and for that, we both thank you very much. Again, you are a very talented young man in making these.
One suggestion, if it wouldn't be hard to do, is to show in US dollars, what the foreign currency is for the trip, food etc as you comment on it.
Thank you again for the videos you make.
Thanks a lot, glad you're enjoying my videos. The reason I don't put currency conversions in is that it goes out of date very quickly (especially at the moment) but I always put the price in the description below in £ € & $
@@DylansTravelReports Thanks again and keep up the great work on doing the videos
You were lucky with the bathroom... I often find it do be dirty, smelling or just closed. Once I travelled on an ICE and needed to use the bathroom 5 or 6 cars away from my seat as it was the only one that was opened.
I never experienced that, mainly because they check the bathrooms every half an hour, and order a cleaning crew to get on at the next stop if they find them dirty. On regional trains with DB, this is not the case, thats why their toilets are mostly dirtier.
Interior looks quite new and upscale feeling.
I was surprised at that actually given the train is about 20 years old.
Nice way to travel and the price was right. If you want to see anything the train is the best way to go. Airports all look the same, clouds too ! And the hassle in the airports today is just not worth the trouble unless you are really pressed for time. Good review Dylan, and I liked the look of the interior of this train; maybe it was the lighting maybe the colors but definitely appealing.
Thanks! I totally agree!
Thank you, Dylan!
Hello Dylan. Another great video. I have tried out the DB ICE train years ago, and I believe that the seats were quite solid, albeit the fact of limited floor luggage, which is honestly my only problem. Toilets were also solid, but I never understood on some of the latest trains about why the tap and hand dryer (sometimes soap) have sensors. I prefer buttons.
By the way, huge congratulations on hitting 20K subs recently. See you next week.
What are solid toilets?
@@Eurobazz Another way of saying is that the toilets were generally clean and great. Seriously though, I didn't actually mean solid toilets. Hopefully you understand now.
Thanks! See you next week 😁
VideoGamingFan You’re funny VGF.
@@DylansTravelReports By the way, I am planning to make a second channel after lockdown, on my own trip reports, mainly trains. In my future second TH-cam channel, the first thing I will do is subscribing to you and Simply Railway, mainly aiming to ride on trains that haven't been covered on your channels yet, if you don't mind, and also riding on my favourite trains, such as the Pendolino and the Eurostar.
I will admit, I have only been on the Eurostar once in my life, all the way to Amsterdam Centraal.
Dylan, I have one more question. What will be your next trip report on Friday 3rd July 2020 at 4pm BST? Anyway, hope you are well, and stay safe.
Passau Hbf / border
Between Germany and Austria (and also Switzerland) the borders of the railway systems are not always identical with the political borders. Passau Hbf is the border between the German and Austrian rail networks and the station counts from either side as a domestic train station. I.e. when buying a ticket from Vienna to Passau the ÖBB (Austrian Railways) tariff applies.
Other important border stations which count domestic for both countries are
Germany/Austria: Salzburg Hbf, Kufstein
Germany/Switzerland: Schaffhausen, Konstanz and on some aspects also Basel Bad Bf
Basel Badischer Bahnhof is a very special case as it is legally under German jurisdiction while completely in switzerland. Basel Badischer Bahnhof is not Operated by SBB but by DB...
Austria/Switzerland: St. Margarethen and Buchs (which are both in Switzerland); the line through Liechtenstein is operated by Austrian Railways.
Last time I was this early, you were posting aircraft takeoffs!
Thanks to you, we got to watch some beautiful European cities and trains👌🏼👌🏼💐
Did sound very quite and the tilt was cool, seems like a nice way to travel
Tbh, you hardly notice the tilt as a passenger
You are lucky you took the ICE-T, the one with the old seats. Take an ICE 4 and you will be disappointed.
Another big problem is the refurbished ICE 3. While for ICE 4 you know you’ll get these horrible seats, you don’t know if the ICE 3 is refurbished or not unless you know a couple of tricks :) in the end I learned how to find a good ICE 3 and how to avoid a refurbished ICE 3 :D
What are These Tricks?
The ICE 4's seets are not as bad as it is beeing proposed by many people here.
Also, they are getting new, more comfortable seets right now.
@@finnibat Sadly I've driven only with the old hard not comfortable seats before. I hope, they exchange those seats asap, like they did announce but yeah. In average a great ICE 4.
@@finnibat, the seats are mainly a problem for people taller than 1.75 m, because legroom in 2nd class was reduced by about 50 mms and the seat-pads are no longer extensible from 450 mm in length to 500 mm. All this mess will not change with the reworked seats.
The DB said that they will change ethe seats due to the negative feedback
There are curves on railway tracks not corners Dylan lol. The seats are better for comfort compared to most British trains and also our trains in Australia except for the XPT of which operate long distance routes which have really padded seats.
I must do the XPT at some point. Always nice to see the HST power cars abroad.
@@DylansTravelReports very similar except front ends and engine power is much less than their British sister
Lovely video. Thanks for the ride.
You're welcome 😁
Thank you for the video.
I like the silence in this train.
This was recorded a few days before quarantine in Austria was implemented
I hope that you're in great health!
I am thanks. Hope you are well too!
@@DylansTravelReports I'm glad you're in good health. Btw, thank you for asking, I'm also doing well
Hey, the stop in Linz could have been the train driver forgetting to loosen pressure on the so called SIFA pedal. In german trains the train driver has to permanently put pressure onto this pedal with his foot but is obliged to let go of it every 30 seconds. It is a built in safety control and if the train driver does not let go, the train will stop automatically.
Huh, very interesting. I didn't know they had it like that. We have something similar in Britain but it only requires the driver to push a pedal when it beeps.
@@DylansTravelReports oh yes, it beeps to remind the driver after 30 seconds and he/she still has a few seconds time left to activate it before the train stops. It could also have been an order from the control center. This happens from time to time.
Great video. The seats look nice and comfy
Thanks!
Gentleman, a short view back to the past
This was a lovely trip. I thought the ticket would be more $ considering the distance and type of train. The seats looked comfortable. Thank you, Dylan. 👍👍
It's been a special price. You'd normally pay about € 100 - 150.
The stop right after Linz Hbf could have something to do with the restrictive mode of the PZB, the train safety system. If it's in restrictive mode and the driver accelerates above 45km/h the train will apply the emergency brakes.
Linz to Attnang-Puchheim is LZB though.
@@hackbrettschorsch6855 Linz Hauptbahnhof itself is still only PZB (at least according to openrailwaymap). So either it really was restrictive mode, or something went wrong when changing from PZB to LZB. But from the location shown in the video it might also have been just a regular stop at the intermediate signal near Gaumberg station, right before going out on the main line (he was sitting in the last car, so when the train stops there he is still very near the main station's platforms).
This is a fantastic video, congrats on 20k BTW
Thanks!
The humming noise is more likely generated by the transformer and power inverter. 😉 (Located in coaches 21 and 28 in DB class 411 sets)
Really awesome!
Hi Dylan, I believe that buzzing sound is the transformer and maybe also the traction motors, if the leading/rear vehicles are powered.
Best wishes and take care. Kind regards, Peter Skuce. St Albans. Hertfordshire.
There was a similar occurrence on the likes of class 321 if you were in the car with the pantograph so it'll probably be to do with one or more of the components converting the electricity into movement like you say. Take care!
@@DylansTravelReports - Classes 317, 319 and 321 have their pantographs located directly above their motor vehicles. These feature both the transformer and traction motors (motors are NOT at both ends of the unit on these trains).
@@Lynxfan2 on the ICE-T (DB class 411/ÖBB 4011) the end-cars (car 1 & 7) have pantograph and transformer, but no motors. Power electronics and motors are located in coaches 2, 3, 5, and 6. Car 4 (in the middle) is passive.
@@stephanweinberger - thank you very much for this very interesting and informative comment. I have learnt something new today, so thank you ever so much for your comment :-)
Best wishes and take care. Kind regards, Peter Skuce. St Albans. Hertfordshire. England.
@@Lynxfan2 you're welcome :-)
Great video mate, thanks.
Thanks!
Hi Dylan! Awesome video as always! Keep up the good work! The stop could have been a shunt signal at danger, a SPAD (signal passed at danger) or an unknown cause or failure.
Thanks! I was thinking that maybe.
I am no expert in this regard. But I read somehwere that if the train acelerates too fast the speed surveillance will trigger the brake. The area with the switches /turnouts) has restricted speed and that may have triggered it.
My guess is that the train had passed an ATC balise when it was still red, so the ATC thought the signal was still red and made the train stop at the signal. After the forced stop, the train can again start moving at slow speed, after which it finally passed a balise with the green signal and could then proceed normally. But this is just guessing. There seems to be LZB signalling in Linz, which don't have balises in the traditional sense, but quite densely placed loops. Though it's possible the train was running using ETCS (ERTMS level 1; ERTMS level 2, which uses radio signals, is under development in Austria, but my guess is that Linz isn't yet provided with those.)
But it might just be that for some other reason the ATC thought it hadn't permission to go.
Very cool!
The cars without pantographs have to be the quietest train cars I've ever heard.
Yes, they were quite a bit quieter.
14:45 - One can see Shiey and his buddies traversing across Europe in those freight wagons.
Great video. I've only taken a DB ICE train once, and that was from Chur to Zurich. Standard class is very comfortable and the onboard ambience is great.
See you mentioned Autoracks during the video, which is a term more associated with North America. Maybe someone more knowledgable than me will know what the correct term is for the car transporter wagons that you saw.
Thanks. I believe autoracks is a universal term for them. I certainly can't think of anything else they'd be called.
@@DylansTravelReports The British ones, similar to those in the video, used to be called Cartics.
Good trip report travelling between two countries on a high speed train with all that comfort and features for less than 50 euros definitely value for money and also the journey time too
Also wien HBF (vienna central station) is huge looks more like a scenic shopping centre than a rail station hope to visit there one day
Thanks 😁
@@DylansTravelReports no problem
15:50
By the way, the two diesel locomotives there are specially modified Series 218, they're used in pairs to tow broken down ICE trains off the newer high speed lines.
Superb Railway ....👍👍👍
Love It 👌👍🇮🇳❤️🙌
The train is nice! The route-system between Vienna and Frankfurt is last century ....
Even 19th century between Linz and Würzburg! From Vienna to Linz it's quite modern and after Würzburg trains go on high speed before turning to Frankfurt and getting back to 19th century again. That old rail-system is totally overcrowded and that's why trains with destination Frankfurt often are late.
Nice video Dylan. I've always had a problem with DB ICE WiFi. As you say, why do they bother. On the Köln Hbf/Amsterdam route you know when you cross the DE/NL border as there is a noticeable clunk above the carriages when the voltage changes from AC/DC and vice-versa. On a very delayed journey once from Köln Hbf to Amsterdam, the conductor announced we had just entered NL. I told my Dutch fellow passenger that this wasn't the case. When I heard the clunk, I told him we were now in NL. I guess this was a prime example of my ferroequinological nerdiness. Long may it continue 😁😁😁
Thanks!
In generall Idon't like traveling on ICE 3. When I once drove back from Bochum to Regensburg, I chose 1st class seats in ICE 1 via Cologne, Koblenz, Mainz, which were slower but more comfortable than the rapid ICE 3 using the high-speed route to Frankfurt. All in all, an ICE 3 is as tight as an airplane and that's how it was designed. - Greetings, Heinz
Hi Dylan! Thanks for sharing another fantastic and informative travel report! Wein Stations look awesome, modern and extremely clean. The seats look pretty comfy. And there's a mirror shot! Woohoo! Were the food/drink items being sold in the restaurant car reasonably priced? Seems like you had a very good journey into Germany. I have only had a stopover at Frankfurt airport and didn't get the chance to visit Germany property. Great video as always Dylan. Can't wait until next Friday! See you then! Cheers!
Thanks!
The foods and drinks are definitly a bit more expensive than usual but i would still consider them reasonable!
I liked it, I would ask that you show the Shops, they are different from those in the U.S. and maybe show the Food menu,
to get an Idea on the Price you pay for food on board,
I hope to see more of your work.
See here: db-bordgastronomie.de/dbgastro/downloads/DB_4060-Speise_und_Getraenkekarte_aktuell.pdf It that should give you an idea what the prices are like. I can say that the food is generally ok. No Gourmet stuff but for the average taste good enough. The menu is changed evrey month for the main courses.
That is one quiet-riding train.
Nice 👍. Love German trains. 2nd class looks as good or even better then 1st class (as seen on other trip reports).
Thanks 😁 The trains are great imo.
IMHO 1st class is only worth it if someone else pays for it (It's 50% more expensive than 2nd class). You have a 1+2 seating instead of the 2+2 in 2nd class, get a free newspaper and have on seat service. To me this doesn't justify the extra. The only real benefit that might for worth something for business travellers is that you get access to the DB lounges.
When I drove ICE the other day, I had fast internet (9mb). You could do everything as normal.
Hi Dylan-we enjoy the videos! I have a general question for you: when you have to catch a train in Europe, how do you know which car to board? The trains are so long. My husband and I got so lost trying to navigate from Vienna back to Steyr, but we finally figured out to go in the general direction to Salzburg and made it back with one train change that was like 3 minutes 😱
Thanks! Car numbers are usually displayed on the doors and sometimes the platform departure boards.
Hi, new to your channel and I love trains. Gonna watch your videos. 😉
Awesome, thank you!
lucky you were still able to travel back then. although DB kept operating almost its entire fleet, many international connections got suspended indefinitely (to france, belgium, denmark, poland,) but the ÖBB&DB ICE was still running despite the curfews and different approaches from the two neighbouring countries. The ICE remained in service for those eligible to travel during the pandemic
Ik right! At least things are going back to some sort of normal now.
I've travelled many times on the various ICE trains; seats are miles better than on any of the new trains we have in the UK 😉
I agree, the seats are very good.
Really? To me 2nd class seats are only acceptable on ICE 1 and ICE 2, at ICE 3 (train above belongs too) to sit more than 1 hour is pure torture. Only 1st class seats (which have more space, too) are enough comfortable. - Heinz
A great trip report! I think the train stopped waiting for the switch to change
Thanks!
Unless the way through the switches is set the signal will not show go. The switch operator will select the route through the switches to the track the train will take and after all switches have moved (and the adjacent switches moved into a position to deflect any other train away) and locked into their designed position then the signal will go green (i.e. clear). Unless the train has left this portion of trackage no switch can be moved.
wow that train is like a well maintain hotel good job germans they do things well.
Hi Dylan I enjoyed the video!!! I wish the train trip was bit longer. Will you traveling on an overnight train trip soon. I like the overnight train trips better!!! Thank s for the video Dylan. See you next Friday!!! 😀
Thanks! I hope to be taking overnight trains again within the next month.
Instead of Taking the whole Westbahn Salzburg Wien Hbf Hauptstrecke München-Augsburg and Schnellfahrstrecke Stuttgart Mannheim which is how the Railjet Reaches Frankfurt Am Main Hbf. This ICE-T uses Main Spessart Bahn Aschaffenburg-Lohr Schnellfahrstrecke Hannover Würzburg from the Lohr Connector line. The last sections are Hauptstrecke Würzburg Nürnberg Regensburg Passau Linz and the Westbahn Linz Wien Hbf. That is also used by the same ÖBB1116 1016 DB BR182 Nightjet train from Frankfurt Am Main region to Wien Hbf. If your ICE-T has to end at Frankfurt Am Main Hbf it can run as a ICE Line 50 to Dresden Hbf via Leipzig Riesa-Dresden Railway line and the former West German East German Border Stations of Bebra Gerstungen.

I love the ice
Neat tilt demo!
Thanks 😁
Those wifi speeds are fine in Germany where the mobile networks notoriously suck.
True, but in this case the train still was in Austria ;)
