Train was a bit fullThe journey took just over three hours and was mostly smooth and punctual - a real plus point, especially if you are familiar with Austrian and German rail transport
The train was modern and clean, the seats comfortable enough, even for longer journeys. The wifi worked well for the most part, even if it did go down for a short time in between. There were power sockets at the seats - really practical for me as someone who likes to work while travelling.

ExpensiveTrain was extremely fullDelayThe train journey from Passau to Vienna was generally pleasant and, above all, fast - that's one of the big advantages I appreciate about travelling by train. It's also a sustainable way of travelling, which is important to me personally. The on-board restaurant was open and looked good - I generally use it a lot on train journeys, even if I didn't make use of it this time. However, the train was extremely full (I travelled in the afternoon), probably because of a conference in Vienna. It was more crowded than ever, which also meant that almost all the toilets were blocked towards the end - a rather unpleasant experience. But that's not normally the case. I travelled first class and paid over 114 euros - I think that's quite expensive. Apart from that, everything worked well, the journey was quiet, there was only a slight delay at the end, but nothing dramatic. The wifi and sockets worked. I give it 4 out of 5 stars - one point deducted because of the extreme overcrowding and the toilet situation.

Slightly unpunctualThe train ride from Passau to Vienna was extremely pleasant. The train was fast, modern and very comfortable. The seats offered, in my opinion, enough space and were ergonomically very suitable. Only the departure was a little unpunctual, but this did not have a major impact on the overall positive travel experience. The route also offered beautiful landscapes. Really highly recommended!

ÖBB | Regionalzug
About
ÖBB Regionalzug (R) is a train category of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) that replaced the Personenzug in Austria in 1982. Regionalzug services primarily operate in various Austrian states like Styria, Upper Austria, Lower Austria, and Vorarlberg, and on specific sections of other lines. These trains serve slightly longer connections that are too far from urban centers for S-Bahn operations. In Vienna, regional trains from the surrounding areas are integrated into the inner-city transport network. ÖBB Regionalzug services exclusively offer second class. The fleet includes modern trains such as the ÖBB Cityjet, Talent, and Desiro, as well as bi-level push-pull trains and Cityshuttle push-pull trains.
