    Don't troll here. If u don't like German add-ons just let other life without any discussions or insults.

    Hopefully they changed something on the Vorarlberg route. They gave us the old 185.2 and not the new one. But if there should be a new ICE then it needs to be the 407/408

    407 is being modded (consolen't) so we pretty much get that soon, 408 is bloody similar to it, and the 412 is being left out? :(

    If u look in the south of Germany here are normally no ICE4 driving. (except the ICE118/119) But that one is more like an Replacement train. The ICE4 is only seen in Germany and 1 time a day in Austria because of the OEBB not having enough coaches.

    They are not able to repair their trains. For the timetable they have not enough trains but the depot can't handle to much trains. And New they invented that in the desiro ml the inside will be Rebuilt every time the season changes. Summer, winter, Autumn, Spring.

    The OBB ordered 20 Stadler Kiss 4, over 500 Mireo units. and the Vectron night/railjets. Some of the mireos will be used on railjet Timetables. Something nobody would do. 160kmh train on a service that should drive 200kmh or more. And that should have good comfort and more. City jet will be the next railjet.

    I would just say the Railjet (old) are not comfortable at all. I hope the new trains will fix that issue

    I would prefer to drive 30kmh slower but having an Eurofima with good seats.

    In Austria you would have seen Siemens Vectron ÖBB Baureihe 1293 written in their official documents. Since they are expanding there 1293 Fleet it's time for them to be running sleeper train runs that means if you stand around 7:45 at HRR Duisburg you are going to see it northbound to the Netherlands next stop Utrecht Centraal from HRR/HDBU

    Oh, I disagree! At least in business class. Very comfortable indeed (more so than DB)

    Mind you, the Taurus 1116s (ES 64U2) are pushing 20 years old, and it makes sense to replace them with Siemens' successor design.

    I'm not sure, I think the poll creator can choose that. It implies at the poll at the top this was closed at 12.31am my time.
