Interestingly, the Westbahn is not much slower than the RJX between Graz and Vienna, despite having more stops.
This may be related to the slightly higher top-speed
Nightfoldress 六七@navi but what about the reliability, ill take a 30 minute slower ride if it means i can make my connections reliably
@navi i am specifically referencing the concept of running train lines below the actual max speed they could achieve so you have some buffer to catch up in case there is delay
@desea ah, this.
yeah but it's also nice to have a fast connection. if you add buffer it gets less fast.
@navi even a 10 minute slower route can mean the difference between making or missing a connection, i really don't think marginal add to top speed is worth the drop in reliability unless all you do is single trips with no umsteigen

@navi no, the higher top speed is only relevant between Graz and Klagenfurt, everything up to Vienna is currently 160 max
kloenk@navi want to look at the tables at some point. The SBB trains in Germany have so so small tables. Not of use at all

Luck Goddess 🌒🌕🌘 (They/She)@navi it might also in part be due to the typical Westbahn strategy of „depart as soon as possible after arrival“ (while ÖBB loves to wait for who-knows-what)
@follpvosten oh yeah. i love that WB does this. ÖBB should also do this more
