    Beautiful- thank you for taking us along on another adventure - the views were great but this high motorway viaducts looked terrifying.

    There are some really nice railway journey's that can be made around bozen, like the Ritten narrow gauge line (overlooking the dolomites) and the Bozen-Merano-Mals line, with such a a beautiful scenery especially when you get closer to Mals (near the Swiss border).

    We have been to Verona and Innsbruck
    but sadly not connected the two by train.
    We would love to do the Brenner Pass as it is
    as you pointed out, beautiful and is a regular line
    unlike some of the Swiss lines
    running tourist trains at HIGH prices.
    We liked Innsbruck and it has the interesting
    metro-cum-cable car line into the mountains.
    We also went on a local train to Jenbach
    then took the Achenseebahn into the mountains
    and the ferry along the lake and then back..

    It will be interesting to see how fast will this trip be once the Brenner Base Tunnel opens in 2032. ÖBB has already planned that trains traveling the new Brenner Base Tunnel route from Italy to Innsbruck will travel at speeds to up 250 km/h on tracks in the Innsbruck area, including a new bypass track around Innsbruck itself.

    Another super watch, thanks! Gorgeous scenery. But what is it about modern train seat design? Those new RJ seats look flat as heck! And the huge winged headrests look claustrophobic to me. As a 6'2 bloke, I'm a bit worried about the seat pitch too! Anyway, looking forward to the next one!

    • @JohnnyHooverTravels
      @JohnnyHooverTravels  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, the seat pitch was quite small for first class and the seats proved uncomfortable. Which is a shame because RailJet seats have always been so good.
      NonStop Eurotrip did a much fuller review of the train itself, and i tend to agree with all his points.

    Anazing route.
    I do like to keep an eye on my luggage in the racks. But I am not sure about locking the luggage in there. I could see myself failing to unlock the liggage in time.
    I think it would be better if you could scan your ticket and the locks would automatically unlock at your destination.

    • @JohnnyHooverTravels
      @JohnnyHooverTravels  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Wrt the locks, i foresee lots of problems. I reckon in the UK some people would find it funny to pass a lock through someone else's handle!
