wonder if I could still make a 1st class reservation now, but I don't exactly have throwaway 60€ lol

basically my only hope is that some people get off in St Pölten or Linz

while I could theoretically camp between the two 2nd class wagons to increase my chances of snatching a seat, standing at the bike thingy is currently the most comfortable option, mostly since there are only like two other people here and there's a lot of room lol

so I only checked the free seats in the compartment wagon because the open one is definitely at 100% capacity. the only free seat on this one is with a group of 5 elderly men. I'd rather not lol

re: snow

I also had Starbucks and will probably get grandma lunch, so currently this trip is still primarily positive :D

surprise: the open car is not at 100% capacity! all the window seats may be reserved but there are quite a few in the middle that are free, yay :3

so I actually got a seat in St Pölten, meaning less than half an hour of standing. yay!

ok, given how old this train looks, it's not very surprising that there's no wifi. but it does have power outlets at every seat, so that's great!

if the person who has reserved the seat next to me from Wien to Bad Ischl appears at some point, I'm gonna have to get up anyways, so I might as well plug in my laptop for as long as I can I guess.

I've had my expensive coffee too, and I just ate the cheese sandwich I had made for myself before I left. so I'm definitely not low on caffeine or any micronutrient. I have no excuses 🥲

a lot of people getting onto the train in Linz. I kinda feel sorry for them. they probably also didn't expect such a full train on a Tuesday morning.

@jeder yeeeeeaahh…I could've figured that it would be rather full if I had just thought about it for a bit (this is the only direct connection between a number of points and it only goes once per day), but I couldn't have known that it would be this short haha…
