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
