Why do many of the Railjets on the #SemmeringBahn stop in Semmering, but not in Payerbach-Reichenau, which seems like a clearly larger town? Historical reasons? Because of Semmering’s importance (?) as a (minor) winter sports centre?

But hey, I am not complaining. It’s nice to have a direct connection to Vienna, Graz, or even Prague from your accommodation in the small town. Not Venice, though, that train does not stop there.
