Cons
IconOvercrowded wagon
On my journey from Salzburg to Innsbruck I enjoyed the comfort and the rather short journey time. Unfortunately, the service was poor and the cleanliness could be improved. However, the price-performance ratio was acceptable. However, the unfriendly service spoilt the journey for me
Pro
IconClean toilets
IconHistoric train
IconBeautiful landscapes
Cons
IconLong journey time
This journey was very relaxed because the train took its time. The journey was therefore quite long. In return, I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the route. The train was quite historic and there was no service staff on board, apart from the conductors. However, they were friendly. The train was tidy and appeared to be in good technical condition. It was also quite clean in the toilets.

IconIt was a bit noisy on the train
Some time ago I decided to take a journey from Salzburg to Innsbruck. As always, I was able to buy the tickets very easily online. I bought seat 5 in carriage 3. The staff were friendly as always and the seats were very comfortable. The free wifi also worked very well as well as the free power sockets. The train was very hygienic inside and the toilets were very clean! The train arrived on time in Innsbruck. As I was travelling from Salzburg to Innsbruck, the journey took about two hours. As always, the price-performance ratio was very good!
Pro
IconBeautiful view
IconNice service
Cons
IconHygiene was poor
I travelled to Innsbruck on the ÖBB NJ466. The hygiene of the train was not good, but as I sat down in my reserved seat straight away, it didn't bother me. Only the rubbish bins could have been emptied before the journey started. The journey took about 4 hours and we arrived on time. The service and the view were very good and I was also able to connect to the train wifi.
