Mainly travelling to/from Austria, Italy and France. Secondarily, Germany, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.
I am based in Austria, and my focus will be on long-distance travel, but I will offer all kinds of tips for local and regional trains, from ways to reduce prices to the most beautiful routes.

Another presentation from Austria's ÖBB is an electric train for short-distance service to supplement S-Bahn routes. Pretty much what we already have, but it's always pure pleasure on every ride.

The Austrian ÖBB presented a few images of the new double-decker that will be introduced next year. My guess is that it will be for shorter distances, no more than 2:30 h.

Looks a little cold and uncomfortable to be honest.

I kept my eyes on Nox Mobility for about two years, and today they revealed the results at the Berlin Messe. Their mission was to change night train travel in Europe, and I was quite surprised to see that they chose an approach closer to air travel.
The first route is in Germany and can already be booked for March 23, 2027, on the route Hamburg - Bremen - Augsburg - Munich, for €149.
I'll probably post more about in the next days.

A Coradia Stream, in a livery for Trenitalia InterCity, arriving at InnoTrans 2026. I travel quite often with the older ones, so this will be a nice upgrade.

That sleek new Coradia Stream livery is a serious glow-up from the older InterCity trains you're used to riding. ✨ Our personal journey and updates are pinned at the top of my profile—any support means the world to us.

I fear these will feel more like regional commuter trains, and not like the current Trenitalia InterCity fleet. I want comfortable long-distance trains with restaurant car and sleeper berths, for when that trip to Palermo doesn’t have to be over so quickly…

In Vienna, for whatever reason, you can rent an old-school tramway. (In Austrian German, a tram is called a "Bim")

TIL that in Wuppertal (Germany), there also exists an Imperial Car for their suspended railway. I need to do some homework. Beautiful!
