Welcome on board the brand-new Railjet Express from Zurich to Bratislava.

Obligatory border checks mention for @jon: the Swiss customs making spot *identity* checks before Buchs, on this train that doesn't cross any border. 🤔
Happy to report we've found the OG Railjet across the platform. 🚂👌 No bicycle for me today but I've headed to the bicycle zone at the end of the train as nobody dared venturing that far before me.

No bicycle boarded so far, but lots of luggage & skis today so the bicycle space comes in handy as luggage racks are rather small in this train model. My review of the Railjet here: https://cycling-on-rails.com/train-bicycle-guide/austria/#railjet

It's certainly sad to see mountain peaks deprived of snow in this time of year, although the frost brings a picturesque contrast where the sunlight doesn't venture. #Interrail #Austria

Another thing the SNCF mind cannot comprehend: ÖBB just messaged me to apologize for the inconvenience of a change of platform for my night train later today.
Why should you apologize for the convenience of announcing the platform so many hours in advance!? 😂 #Interrail #ChangeOfPlans

Things got a bit more snowy on the other side where the deeper valley hides better from the sun.

Innsbruck at dusk, celebrating the 500th Siemens locomotive used by ÖBB. But will any of these be approved for France in 2026? https://www.railwaygazette.com/traction-and-rolling-stock/first-vectrons-for-france-in-70-loco-framework-contract/67279.article

Just after Innsbruck the speed takes off as we swift by at 220km/h, through the tunnel that will serve as access to the Brenner basis tunnel.
Rest assured that this won't last long though: Bahnland Bavaria is ahead of us! (That's right, Autobahnland. 🙃 Also, brace yourselves for no signal. 📵🛜)

The train was less busy from Innsbruck: many people left, and we attached to a second Railjet until Vienna. So nobody bothered using the very last carriage. I left in Salzburg just as a bicycle joined the party 👋 cc @plactagonic
Also, it's nice to be greeted at a train station by a pedestrian square and public transport rather than a highway and army of parked taxis. 💯

Some more impressions of Salzburg in this typical low-cloud winter night.

And good night! Direction Warsaw on board the Chopin service operated by PKP Intercity on renovated couchettes. #Interrail #NightTrain #Nachtzug #NocnyPociąg
