The opening of the Koralm Railway between Graz and Klagenfurt in December 2025 leads to major changes on the Südbahn between Vienna and Villach.

Long-distance Rail in Austria 2024
The year 2024 brought some changes to Austria: The Westbahn increased the number of connections to Innsbruck. A new daily connection to Bregenz was also introduced. It has more stops than the RailjetXpress connections, such as Hohenems, Frastanz or Nenzing.

Long-distance Rail in Switzerland 2024
Voilà the new version of the long-distance rail map of Switzerland 2023. The design remains unchanged apart from adjusting some radii. The most obvious change is the introduction of numbers for every long-distance (and non-long-distance RE) line. Some lines have got an official specific colour, which I also applied in my map. However, two events … Continue reading Long-distance Rail in Switzerland 2024

The diagonal axes are not in an angle of 45° but 26° from the horizontal axis. In this way, most main … Continue reading Long-distance Trains in Austria 2023
