runs trains far into neighbouring countries and beyond, doesn't even need to hide behind a sketchy brand
coöperates extensively with its neighbours
takes over unprofitable night train routes, makes them profitable
doesn't sabotage interrail
doesn't sacrifice wheelchair accessibility for a pretty look (​:birdsite:​ link)
can all state railways be as cool as ÖBB please

@lis
takes over unprofitable night train routes, makes them profitable
i wish it was always true, they cancel berlin-wrocław-vienna nightjet because apparently it wasn't that profitable and they are replacing it with berlin-dresden-vienna nightjet (apparently because DB wanted that or whatever), though apparently they will provide all (3) coaches for a wrocław-vienna day train

@jeder @lis I mean Berlin Dresden Vienna is the traditional Route for that train.

@antonia @lis how exactly? dresden has way better connections to vienna over western poland, i don't care about some "traditions" that are 100 y/o leftovers

@jeder @lis I mean, it was the route it took until 2017, when it was discontinued.

@jeder @lis and the current, post-2018 route is clearly unfit for the demand levels, the train to vienna tends to be packed.

@jeder @lis it is not enough for the demand, they need more coaches.

@antonia @lis definitely the new three-coach 6:30 train from wrocław to vienna will be enough

@antonia @lis but then, it's just 3 ÖBB coaches because PKP as always doesn't have any suitable coaches since all of them went to Warsaw-Vienna/-Berlin trains

@antonia @lis (not to mention the completely backwards ticket sales system of pkp intercity where you can't really get international tickets online anyway)
