Was ist der bester Fahrradsparkplatz in Österreich?

War am ersten Tag nach der Arbeit dort als U-Bahnfan und filmte es. 10:49

Wow so cool to know this information. I took S45 few times, but never knew the history. Keep up good work!

Nice video. Reopening of U2 took me by surprise last Friday :) I was going to Schotentor, but took a ride all the way to Karlsplatz, just for fun. I noticed that delay of platform door opening which feels a bit strange. I love new trains from the inside, but when looking from outside they look older than V type for some reason :D

Coming to.the S45 reopening then is like coming to the u2 reopening again, and when the u5 opens, we will have many fans at the stations

I visited Vienna last year (I'm Australian) and stayed near Karlsplatz - I could see the U2 had been taken out of service but didn't actually know why. Thanks for the explainer :)

Will be interesting to see how they change the service pattern of the U2 when it's sharing tracks with the U5. Will every second U2 have to turn around at Schottentor to enable the U5 trains to slot in between the U2 trains in the shared section?

Nice work … very interesting! Also appreciate your graphics and research. ✌️

I've mixed feelings with it. On Saturday around 4h I was taking the nightline U2 from Karlsplatz and the train was not able to depart because obviously something was wrong with the doors. It needed around 15 minutes until the train finally could depart. No infos in the train why there was that massive delay. Today coming from 22nd district in the morning the U2 was disrupted and ended at Schottentor (I guess again cause of the new doors). I hope this improves soon then at the moment it is more then annoying...

I believe we've met on the first day of service! Great video!

Wtf österreichischer Soyjak

As someone living along the s80 I agree that your proposal is definitely much better than the official one, I often have to travel up to western vienna somewhere along the s45 and having to transfer in hütteldorf makes everything take at least 15 minutes longer, which would be gained by doing this

Als in Wien ansässiger halber Japaner muss ich sagen, dass es ein bisschen seltsam von den Wiener Linien rüberkommt, dass eine U-Bahn mit Zusatztüren am Bahnsteig als modern dargestellt wird, während das in Tokio und auch in Seoul (Ich bin Koreanologe.) schon seit mindestens einem Jahrzehnt in U-Bahnen völlig normal ist. In Tokio werden selbst S-Bahnen der Japan Railways und Privatbahnen sukzessive mit solchen Bahnsteigtüren ausgestattet. Mich wundert aber, dass man sich in Wien für Full-Screen-Doors entschieden hat. In Tokio benutzt man ja meistens Türen auf halber Höhe, was sich nach dem Giftgasanschlag vor drei bis vier Jahren auf der Keio-Linie als gute Sache erwiesen hat, da die Leute aus dem Zug rausklettern konnten, während in Moskau Full-Screen-Doors nach einem Brand in der U-Bahn sich als fatal herausgestellt haben. Das heißt nicht unbedingt, dass ich gegen Full-Screen-Doors bin, aber ich habe gewisse, hoffentlich unberechtigte, Sorgen. Normalerweise passiert ja zum Glück nichts dergleichen. ^^

I love the S45. I lived along the line nearly my whole life. In my current apartment, I can even see the tracks and use the line more times a week. A lot of journeys would be so much more inconvenient without it.

Prima!

Great video as always! As a railway enthusiast studying in Vienna, finding your channel was exactly what I needed lol. Since I study at WU and live in the 7th, reopening of U2 has done it much easier getting to the uni. Now instead of taking the very crowded (and lately often disrupted) trams on the ring just to get to Schottentor, i can just walk from home to the Volkstheater Station and get to the uni directly. However, i guess getting used to the station entrances will take some time lol. Going from one platform to the other takes more time than walking home from the station 😅 Also I'm not sure if it's always been this way, however currently the trains are travelling super slow between karlsplatz and Schottentor, which is a bit strange.

Will the other lines get the doors too?

But it has many Problems… since the reopening on Friday to Sunday 16:19 o clock in total 14 Interuptions… 6 today

What do you think about the new platform doors? Leave a comment down below. ⬇

A wonderfully informative video, fabulously presented and really inspiring how you present the future vision!

congratulations. and a very nice video. I should ride the U2 myself, maybe today after the grand prix.

Thank you for this video a Ceske Budejovice to Franz Wien with a change and luggage would be helpful

Very interesting. The public transport system in Vienna offers a really high standard, but as mentioned in the video the connection from the west of Vienna to the south can be rather awkward. A better connection there would definetly reduce extremely heavy traffic in the south of Vienna, like on the Triester Straße. Thanks for looking at the history of that idea more closely!

Ticket price comparison might be interesting, because the more time you spend on the Austrian side, the more expensive the tickets might get. So, when travelling from Prague to Vienna, the key is to spend as greatest portion of the journey as possible on the Czech territory, where things are cheaper.

what would be the effect, if you make an almost s-bahn-ring? it starts at handelskai, follow the track of S45 until penzing, but then divert from the track to speising and continue on the track of S80 until erzherzog-karl-straße. then go straight ahead and add a few stations. right befor zentralstellwerk süßenbrunn, there is a loop that can divert a train to leopoldau, where it meets the U1 terminal station. from there, continue on the line back to floridsdorf, and over the danube back to handelskai. the only difference: now, the train is one floor higher and at 90° angle. it could be prolonged to hauptbahnhof, where it terminates and reverses. or continue to meidling, turning it into something like a "vorortebrezel" instead of a "vorortering".

I still think, that it was a mistake to name the U5 as U5. I want aU8. why? because tourists shouldn't just ask for the U5, they should also aks for the U7. ;-)

Do you have any other suggestions for a Vienna S-Bahn-Ring solutions? Let's discuss in the comments!

2:09 Die Verbindung zwischen Haidestaße und Donaumarina existiert bereits.

Ich weiß, du bist Halb-Österreicher und -Brite, aber die Tatsache, dass du beides akzentfrei beherrschst, erinnert mich an meine Zeit in der bilingualen Klasse. 🙃🙃

there is a bus station on both sides of the station.

3:00 This is the biggest scam (it is not, just an opinion) because free drinkable water is available just outside the station. :D

When you show Vienna to train enthusiasts, this is a great starter. The Vienna Ring would be possible even when trains have to change directions in Hütteldorf.

wonderful video. Thanks!

it seems like the video has only been watched by citizens of the area who can’t wait to correct and further educate you in the comments 😂😂 quite interesting though to be honest, I’m living there too and don’t mind to learn a bit more about it 😊

Have I already told you that I love your German-English accent? 😍

Any suggestions for other interesting railway lines in the Czech Republic I should make a video about? Leave a comment down below! ;)

Lots of very interesting information about this popular S-Bahn line in Vienna. I can remember how it looked before its comeback. I like all the historic photo & video material you could include - thanks!

0:55 does anyone know what creates those sci-fi-blaster sounds? I've known them for a long time in another station, and the only similarity is the curved rail.

Thanks for watching my exploration of Vienna’s charming S45 Vorortelinie! What do you think makes this railway line unique? 🤔 Have you taken the S45 before, or do you have any favourite spots along the route? Share your experiences or thoughts in the comments!👇 Also, let me know if there are other routes or stations in Vienna you’d like me to cover next! 🚉✨

Awesome to see the progress you're making. Your editing is becoming very good. Keep it up.

You should know that nearly everyone hates the tram. And its many mistakes

The Bus Station also have bus services to Amsterdam and Breda ( a city near the Belgian border ) ( giving Utrecht a straight connection with Breda and it's region ) ( since there is no Railway between Utrecht and Breda)

Film is oke. Ugly train station 🥶 Utrecht becomes a 15 minute WEF city. En een helm dragen als je rond de 30 jaar bent, ziet er een beetje dom uit in Nederland.

I am Dutch and laugh. Why? I was in München and 10 of thousends where there.

Hi the upper level is still in use. the cabins are part of bar beton, which is a cafe on the other side of the upper level, usually very busy. Anyway, the cabins you saw that were empty, can be reserved for business meetings and more often than not are reserved. My guess is you came during quiet period (like around the summer months).

Why are you wearing a helmet?

Dude doesnt realize what kind of disaster trip this tram system has been the last couple of years.🤣

I studied at Utrecht University before the tram line was extended. The buses from Utrecht Centraal to the university campus were a nightmare. They had 18 meter long double articulated buses that could carry 120 passengers (if I remember correctly), but there would be hundreds of students waiting for the same bus at the same time and we would jam ourselves in as much as possible. Also, if the buses took a sharp turn, the back end would extend half a meter over the pavement and sweep away pedestrians. It was insane. I really wish we had the extended tram line back then.
