Oh yes please review the new Gen Railjet. I am Austrian but even I haven't been on the new one yet lol. It would be nice to mention that the section between St. Pölten and Wien is usually completed half an hour faster due to the high speed track there still being flooded from the massive flood we had in Lower Austria last month.
Ah, yeah, I completely forgot about that big storm during editing (it didn’t hit us up here in Denmark). I actually took this trip before the storm, so it was along the faster line, but I could have mentioned that it’s now closed.
I share your enthusiasm for ÖBB and Railjet. In the last year I had the pleasure of taking the RJX165 between Zürich and Innsbruck and the RJ373 between Vienna and Semmering, which on the route back to Vienna was operated by ČD and my experience was as good as yours. Overall I daresay that ÖBB is the best railway company in the EU and second best in Europe as a whole (behind SBB). And yes, I'd love to see you review the new Railjet!
Took OBB new RailJet between Munich and Verona. It was a very good train and, very importantly, very good food onboard. OBB is overall doing the right thing (a bit like Trenitalia) and are the shining star of European railways.
Really nice video! The first generation Railjet is certainly one of the best trains in use throughout Europe. It is a quality product developed and manufactured by SIEMENS that can compete with trains like the TGV or others. Its tried and true push-pull design has proved to be one of the most reliable train designs in Europe over the past 16 years, laying a solid foundation for ÖBB's good image as a top performing railway corporation.
You were lucky to film this video, the railline has been closed since September due to heavy flooding... Anyways, I'm glad that you enjoyed the railjet :)
Excellent video, thanks a lot for this latest review. These seats look really comfy. They seem to have two levers: one for the recline and the other to adjust the length of your seat cushion. Similar seats can be found on many German ICE trains (no surprise as they all are mady by Siemens...)
I couldn’t get the second lever to work, but maybe it was just my seat. They are indeed very comfy and similar to what’s found on a few ICE models and other trains around the world.
One correction: The blue marking is for the family zone...which is an anti quiet zone xP That said: I have opinions about the Railjet. As an Austrian I regularly have the disfortune of having to ride them. I am generally quite sensitive to movement, so the Railjets rattle too much and swing into corners a way too hard for me. Wherever I can I try to avoid them and use IC/ECs which use the former coaches from ÖBB. In second class the seating tends to give me pretty bad backaches after a while too in Railjets. First class tends to be a bit better in that regard though. The on board restaurant is kind of a joke, with either portions being way too small or/and the things just not tasting good at all. All of these problems don't really seem to happen in the ICE T's that come into Austria and from former experience in Germany I found ICEs to generally run leagues more stable. German friends have also agreed with me that the ride quality on Railjets tends to be horrendous, especially at higher speeds. This is in stark contrast to whatever I see online, so I am genuinely curious why that could be. Austrians are known to be very picky and complain a lot but I seem to enjoy every long distance train more than ÖBBs flagship train (Westbahns KISS included). Genuinely interested in other reasons too that weren't covered in the video!
I was about to write a reply about how much I, as a local, dislike these trains, but I agree with you 100%. I'd add that compared to an old school loco hauled IC/EC, they are quite inflexible with the inability to add cars according to demand.
@@RomedFeldererIt was actually planned to add and remove cars from the sets based on demand, which seems obvious, because otherwise it wouldn't make sense to go for a push-pull configuration with a single locomotive. I think they decided not to follow through on this plan because it would simply have been to much work each time to connect the airtight sealing and the costs of personal are one major reason for opting to go for EMUs most of the time these days. So they decided to just keep the sets together and never disconnect them other than when they are maintained.
As an austrian, I think the railjet is a solid product, but like you said, the german ice's are far better in my opinion. The seats in the railjet second class are not very ergonomic, there is no recline and no footrest. Also the table is extremely small and the side ventilation vents at the windows are always dirty and disgusting. The toilets are extremely small and the overall interior design of the train just makes it seem so cramped in general. The restaurant is actually quite decent in my experience and i have never had bad food, but despite that it is just worse in almost every other aspect than the ice t boardbistro when it comes to seating comfort, space, etc. And the ride quality is good, but nothing spectacular. Especially because a lot of wheels seem to have a flatspot in some way, because it happens just so often that it rattles like crazy when sitting near the end of a coach. And the overall indoor design is just so much darker than the ice's with their woodpanels and everything. All in all, the railjet is ok, but i always prefer the ice t or the westbahn kiss trains between linz and vienna when possible.
It’s always interesting to read others’ perspectives. Personally, I prefer the onboard offerings in ÖBB’s bistros over what DB serves on their ICE, but beyond that, I think the seats and ride quality are fairly similar to the ICE-T-both feel comfortable to me. However, I’ve only taken each a couple of times, so I could have just 'gotten lucky' with the Railjets and had less good ICE-Ts. As for the Westbahn trains, I think they’re good too, but I find their first class and food options a bit disappointing, especially when they go beyond Salzburg compared to RJ or ICE and they can sometimes struggle with handling all the luggage. But the low-floor design is a nice feature that Railjet, for instance, doesn’t offer. I also feel that we’re more likely to notice the flaws in our own country’s trains compared to others, probably because we’re more attuned to even the smaller issues in the ones we ride most often. I definitely know that’s the case for me in Denmark.
@@Simon-Andersen ICE T uses the same 1st class seat as the RJ gen 1. The ICE T 2nd class seats are a similar type, but the 2nd class seats in RJ are completely different for some reason and I agree less comfortable than ICE T. If I am travelling 1st class, there isn't much difference. But 2nd class definitely I prefer the ICE. Also no carpeting in RailJet 2nd class.
I recently traveled from Freiburg Breisgau in Baden-Württemberg, Germany Budapest to Budapes-Keleti. It was 11 hours of pure bliss. From the black forest of southern Germany to the snow-covered mountains of Austria, it was one amazing trip. DB almost F-ed my planes up (classic DB) but the ÖBB Railjet was thankfully made to wait for us at Munich HBF. The only reason I couldn't recommend this journey whole heartedly is because of how bad the punctuality of trains in Germany is.....DB always has a different plan
I've doing the same ride on September, but during to weather that get problems with the high speed track I had a delay from Budapest to Munich about 2,5 hours and 2 changes more.
One important correction! The quiet car also has green headrests in 2nd class. The blue headrests are the family car, so basically the opposite of the quiet car!
No the extra locomotive is due to that the control car isn't working properly (broken). Theirfore a locomitve needs to be at the front, whether it is an extra on or the RailJet has no locomitive on the back and their is only the last wagon at the ending. Broken control cars happen sometimes especially nowadays with the overuse of the RailJet trainsets and the aging.
I was always under the impression that that segment of route required an additional locomotive. Thank you both for clearing that up. A new thing I learned :)
On railjets specifically, there's a display above the seats, indicating from which till which station a certain seat is reserved. If there's nothing on there, then it's not reserved for the entire ride.
@@grizeldiSLOCouldn't that still change when someone books a ticket for further down the line after the train has already departed? Or are those the seats that always flash up as Last Min Reservation?
I don't agree that it's a comfortable ride. I am used to take it regularly in winters on the route Zürich -> St. Anton. What can I say: the 2. class always feels very cramped and the seats aren't ergonomic, they are very hard and no matter how I try to seat, I get a back ache after an hour. As you mentioned, it has no level boarding. The luggage racks are somewhat narrower than the ones in the old cars so when you have crowds with skis & snowboards it becomes really claustrophobic. The 1. class seats are actually even worse than the second because....they are slippery! And on top of all that I once jammed really badly my finger with the pull-out table in the 1. class :(( So it's kinda of an OK train, but definitely not "one of the best".
Just shows seats can be very personal. For instance, I really don’t like the ones in the older EC/IC cars that Austrian Railways has i find them hard and not tall enough, especially in second class. However, I don’t mind the ones on Railjet at all. I think some of the older EC/IC carriages still have special storage areas for skis, which I can definitely see as a big benefit. Thanks for sharing your experience-it’s also very interesting to see how different perceptions of trains can be!
You tested the seat wrong it has two levers. One to increase the sitting area as you demonstrated and another one to the left of the seat that allows for a very large recline of the backrest. Surprised you missed that.
@@paddybm3245 i actually did find that lever, but it didn't do anything at my seat 😅 So I assumed it just didn't do anything, I couldn't figure it out or it was broken. Thanks for clearing it up 🙌
@ oh really? Hm. Maybe you didn’t push hard enough against the backrest when pulled or it was stuck. What a shame. The Railjets are showing their age and the one you took is one of the oldest models. You can spot them by the sliding doors to the toilet. So it’s overdue for refurbishment and the mid-life renovation programme actually started this year. (Interior will be close to that of the 2nd gen Railjet. Can’t wait to hear what you think about that.
In Canada, VIA Rail had learned sicne the 1980s that without baggage car, they needed to have more luggage racks in each car. Yet, when they ordered their currenttly new Siemens trains, they emulated european designs with just one small luggage rack and expect all passegers to be able to fit their luggage to overhead rack (and that it won't kill anyone should train have to abruptly brake). as a result of insufficient luggage space, (which VIA staff were affraid of on day 1), VIA management has instituted a hostile $25 fee for hand luggage (and no checked luggage anymore). (this will turn away passengers who need to travel with luggage). So I am curious about whether this has ever been a problem in europe for people traveling longer distances where they carry luggage for multi day trip for instance? If the european interior design which VIA copied is so inadequate in Canada, I am curious wby it would work in Europe? I never heard complaints from train youtubers about lack of luggage space in europe.
I have travelled many Times on a Railjet Trainset to Vienna Airport with Luggage for multiple Weeks. I had never Problems with too little Luggage Space. I guess Europeans are used to smaller spaces in Generall
It definitely happens on European trains too, but I’m not sure why there’s such a big difference across the Atlantic. Most train companies in Europe have virtually no limit on what you can bring on board as long as you can carry it yourself. Maybe it’s because most European trains run more frequently, so the average passenger is likely to make shorter trips, requiring less luggage.
I spend 90 minutes every working day for the last 5 years in these trains in 2nd class. The seats are horrible and the 2nd class coaches in general are pretty worn out.
I can't really like the Railjet considering what it replaced. While it's not the worst train in Europe, the second class seats are absolutely appaling and it brought that common modern-day airplane feeling to trains in austria. Older intercity carriages had significantly less seats per same sized carriage and they didn't compell you into an upright seating position like you were attending a formal dinner. They even managed to have generous lines of sight, without compromising too much on privacy. If you are unlucky with your seat-window-allignement in an railjet, all you have left to stare at for the whole ride is the back of the seat shell in front of you. The railjet is a rolling aircraft cabin, whereas the intercity was a rolling coffeehouse. I prefered the latter.
I fully understand your point of view, and I especially agree with the seat alignment. But I don’t share the same love for the old carriages because I find it hard to sit comfortably in an upright position in them, especially in first class. I often spend my train journeys working on my laptop, where being able to sit upright and having more airline-style seats with tables instead of compartments is preferable :D
Thats because they are. But Vectrons are not cargo locmotives, they are used just as much as to haul passengers in other countries. Also the original railjet design and locmotive is similar to the Taurus locomotives also used for both cargo and passenger trains :D
@Simon-Andersen yes, Simon. Let me have my framing... it's a pity the Vectron just look like a lorry/european truck. And there are more than 1000 of them now, the vast majority of them hauls freight. Stupid new crash test norms the Taurus front (which railjet locomotives indeed are and the cab front is a copy of) wasn't tested for.
I have taken it. It’s a good train but it annoyed me a lot how much the brakes smelled on that thing. Maybe it was just the unit I took that had a fault though. The business class is amazing I haven’t taken the new one yet. But from what I’ve seen on the internet, they ruined the business class
