on tomorrow's edition of silly commutes, i'm taking this train!
no idea what it's doing for 20 minutes between westbahnhof and meidling, but it has a hungarian cafe car, so maybe they can get me a coffee in that time?

@navi alsoooo rein vom wagenmaterial jetzt nicht so interessant imo (ungarische abteil- und großraumwagen) - die abteile sind jetzt nix besonderes imo https://www.vagonweb.cz/razeni/vlak.php?zeme=%C3%96BB&kategorie=EC&cislo=141&rok=2026

@sk seems very likely, that they will cancel the westbahnhof part and turn around in hbf

@itsKiara which would be a disaster for actual travellers, awaiting the train at meidling or westbahnhof ^^'

@sk yeah, but I think they'd have enough time to go to hbf, if they announce it in the next 15mins

did these trains switch places or what?! (edit: apparently, yes. the planned "9:52" arrival is expected to leave aspern nord at 10:49)

i was skeptical, but the way from wien westbahnhof—wien meidling really does seem to take 20 minutes. but the train's really not in a hurry, too. we just came to a stop a turn before meidling

okay this is hilarious. apparently, this train (that arrived in vienna with a delay of more than 2 hours) kind of caused a chain reaction of replacement trains in budapest, debrecen and záhony. i'm glad there were users who added the compositions to vagonWEB: https://www.vagonweb.cz/razeni/vlak.php?zeme=%C3%96BB&kategorie=%C3%96BB:EC&cislo=%C3%96BB:143:Tisza|M%C3%81V:143:Tisza|%D0%A3%D0%97:143%D0%9A&rok=2026#2026-01-13

there is a dining car, i'm sitting it, but i shall wait with my order until we depart. which we haven't yet. no idea why öbb thinks there's no dining car. maybe they don't want to advertise it at this early hour?
