the mispronunciation of Ballina did throw me off guard 😅

Nice trip, great scenery, hope you got the connection. Totally agree your comments about UK train information - last week we were out and about between Attenborough and Welshpool and 3 of the 5 5 trains had duff information about the train set up - and one train manager that made us walk up the platform because we were standing by the first class carriage! Waiting for XC Customer Service to respond on this!

Great Video Johnny

What a beautiful part of the route to villach

Very Scenic! "Sound of Music Territory!

It looks bit better it was always a dirty run down hole

I Like to your excellent presentation. I am waiting on India is my country for your next videos

an amazing, but long trip

Brilliant video and excellent scenery!! Hope all is well, take care

Just as stunning as Friday`s part 1, thanks for another uplifting journey report :) Don`t you think those glorious vistas would also look wonderful with some nice crisp snow? Hint, hint!

Just inject this route into my veins! 🤣🤣🤣 Looking forward to the Slovenian leg .... Ljubljana, Kamnik, Triglav and the rest of Slovenia were among my favourite parts of my recent jaunt around central Europe. Cheers!

Cracking video!

View out my window is a buttercup filled park. Stunning.

Thanks Johnny for a stunning second part. Always a pleasure watching your vlogs.

Regarding the EC163/164 trains Graz to Zurich, it is magnificent Alpine scenery almost the whole way. But this is one of the few trains in German-speaking Europe where i would advise that a seat reservation is absolutely essential 365-days-a-year and in both classes. I have first hand experience of how busy this train gets!

Very many thanks Johnny for yet another excellent video! And the presentation of your videos is just getting better and better! Please keep on posting a map of the journey you are about to undertake! I did not need a map for this section of your journey, but I will certainly need one for the run through Slovenia, a country i have never visited!

Those maps of where the trains stop are useful as long as they don't announce a rearrangement of the Wagenreihungen Köln Hbf is famous for that. We have to order a Hublift for my partner's wheel chair and a DB person to operate it. In Köln Hbf it is not unusual to change platform and change ends LOL I call it the Kölner Übung (Cologne exercise regime)! In the UK do they bother? I was in Preston and I asked where first class was likely to be. The guy said it was fifty fifty which end so you were best off waiting in the middle LOL

A very nice Monday surprise Johnny. Thanks.

Johnny. I love your videos. But could you please google German pronunciation? It’s driving my pedantic mind mad. You could start with See(lake) pronounced Zay. 15:27

Really enjoyed that!

Hello Sir, thanks for this informative video. Is travelling from Liverpool to University of Chester is recommendable and feasible option according to you? Thanks

Your videos are absolutely very beautiful and very impressive with very motivated to me also. ❤️

Thank you for a great vlog. We regularly stay in St. Johann and never tire of travelling to both Wörgl and Zell am See on the local trains. The beautifully "manicured" rural scenery is a constant delight as the trains twist and turn through Alpine vistas.

Has anyone commented "gorgeous" yet? :D Every moment absolutely packed with glorious views, oh, and glad your seat was so comfy. We shall enjoy part 2 on Monday ... you spoil us, Mr. Hoover!

Visited Switzerland for the first time last year, having wanted to go there for many years. We stayed on the Thunersee, in the village visible across the lake at 8.00. Absolutely incredible, went up the Jungfrau (having sold a kidney first), and had a lovely boat trip on a BLS paddlesteamer up to Thun. It's an amazing part of the world

Good job I wasn't doing a drinking game on this one as a shot for every pun would have had most under the table LOL

Very good. i am embarrassed to say you also have views of Innsbruck station i missed. I think I will have to do this route.

"declassified 1st class". We wish, but nope. Local and regional trains in Austria don't have 1st class, only Germany does that. The ends of those Talent trains are simply the only sections with seating rows in airplane-style layout that allows for fold-down tables in the back of the chair in front. In theory those sections are sometimes designated as quiet zone. In Kitzbühl there are a few seconds where the famous Hahnenkamm ski slopes are visible, right around the local-trains only train station of the same name, Hahnenkamm. You were lucky to get to use a RailJet btw.., I guess you can thank Deutsche Bahn for the construction works between Rosenheim and Salzburg. Thanks for the video anyway, looking forward to part 2.

Nice one again! Gonna do that same route in okt but visa versa😎😎😎

Great Video Johnny

A great video, Johnny, and you had great weather. I went on that route through a blizzard and could hardly see anything! Mind you, it was December and the train was only three minutes late into Innsbruck. A beautiful part of the world.

When a train ride is way more than going from point A to point B.

This is like, I know yr in Austria but remember great Swiss railway journeys that used to be on tv. Amazing scenery, clean blue rivers no litter anywhere and perfectly timed trains. Beautiful place to live I'd imagine

I love this railway! Travelled it more times than I can remember as stay in Westendorf regularly. I'd say the only train that would trump your Railjet on this route is the EuroCity Transalpin, which has a SBB Panoramawagon!

Still catching up on some of your videos. You hit the nail on the head regarding the cross country trains, the experience my wife and I had while travelling from Sheffield to Birmingham was awful, we had to stand up all the way, they should have at least 8 coaches available,like the hst used to be, it was nearly the same coming back, but we got a seat from Derby. This was only 3 weeks ago, I thought there would be more carriages on. I hope they double the coaches asap, as if you are going to Devon or Cornwall book early and reserve your seat. Lovely video again.

I love Austria and must visit it again. What a lovely journey. Those views are so stunning they don’t look real. :)

Hats off to you. I wouldn't normally watch a bus ride video,but I wanted to see what you thought about it, it would be too long for me to sit on a bus seat, mind you the cross country train seats aren't comfortable, but as you said it's the price that matters to a lot of people.

Another lovely video, we have just got back from a day return from Barnsley to Morecambe. via Leeds. As you said it is a beautiful run with lovely views. We stayed on the train and came straight back. So we too didn't see Eric Morecambes statue. It was made by Graham Ibbeson who is a Barnsley lad. We also got a good return ticket with the kind help of the man in the ticket office, he went out of his way to get the cheapest ticket for us both. Glad they are keeping the ticket staff ln the stations.

I'll be darned again. Just the other week I took the ÖBB train from Kranj in Slovenia to Villach. That train was full of extremely rowdy Croatian football folks on their way to Hamburg so that was quite something... Anyway it's a small Europe and quite looking forward to your take on that ride !

I can't understand why they did not have this great seats in the new trains

🖖

Another great video again. You really are one of the best RUclipsrs around. You give your viewers not just superb scenery and views, but also so much local information which is really appreciated and also your own appreciation of wherever you are, which always comes across. When you mentioned Kitzbuhel, it brought back memories when I was fortunate enough to watch the Hahnenkamm Ski race in Kitzbuhel many years ago. Thank you Johnny for these journeys, as always😊

I quite recently found your videos and I really enjoy them. Very nice views, superbly edited and nicely commented. Austria and Switzerland have always been favorites of mine. And the best of all - as a Swede I love listening to your British English instead of American English which otherwise is so common, even among those whose native language is not English.

Yessss. That's what you were saying about those RJ 1st gen 1st class seats! And that's what I was saying! And what Nonstop Eurotrip was saying! 🤣🤣🤣 Anyway, what an absolute stunner of a journey. Magnificently captured and narrated. Cheers!

Brilliant video, great scenery!! Hope all is well, take care

What a terrible job you have. But someone has got to do it, poor you😆

Now I have had a good lunch, here is the clarification. As you hinted, the (hourly) Railjet trains from Innsbruck towards Salzburg and Vienna do NOT normally go via Schwarzach-St-Veit. The RJX 863, which you caught at 09 14 from Innsbruck, would normally take the direct route through Germany. There must have been track work on the German section of the route. People wanting to make the Innsbruck to Schwarzach trip will normally change at Worgl. The service from Worgl to Schwarzach is roughly hourly. I am going into this detail, as I am sure that many of your viewers will want to follow in your railsteps.

The scenery is amazing Johann. Austria is my favourite of the German-speaking countries. It's compact, has stunning scenery throughout and is in the Eurozone and Schengen area, all very important factors for this NL-based ferroequinologist. I think May is a good month to travel by train before the three following busy months. September would be the next comfortable travelling month. I look forward to seeing the continuation of your journey to Villach and onward to Slovenia.

As previously said "Wow". Such amazing scenery, so glad you split the trip up. Seeing so many ski resorts in their spring colours. Thanks Johnny for a very enjoyable vlog and I look forward to part 2 with a smile on my face 😊.

Wow, wow, wow! Thank you Johnny for yet another excellent video, travelling over lines with which I am very familiar. If you asked me to name my favourite Austrian MAIN lines, the line you have just shown us would be disputing second place with the line you are going to show us on Monday! (First place goes to the Semmering line from Vienna to Graz.) I have one small clarification to your excellent spoken commentary which I will put in a separate comment, after I have had some lunch.)
