ÖBB: Reservations for trains finally possible again after disruption!
On June 2, 2025, the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) had been struggling with significant disruptions in its reservation system since Sunday afternoon. These problems primarily affected reservations for national train connections. Loud vol.at Reservations for national daytime services are now possible again, while the disruptions to international daytime connections and night trains should be resolved by Tuesday at the latest.
The difficulties resulted from the fact that some seats were reserved multiple times, which meant that affected passengers had to remain on the platforms. Customers affected by double reservations will be contacted directly by ÖBB. For further information, affected passengers can call service number 05-17-17 or train staff.
International connections and night trains
The ÖBB is working intensively to resolve the problems as quickly as possible, especially for the international connections that are carried out via the night trains. These offer a comfortable way to travel and are a popular choice among many travelers. Those interested can find further details on the Deutsche Bahn website bahn.de.
In times like these, when travelers mostly rely on real-time information, digital travel guidance becomes more important. Deutsche Bahn, for example, offers a function in the DB Navigator to activate “repeat trip”. With this function, travelers can be informed in good time about regular connections and track changes. In order to use this option, you must log in to your customer account.
Digital travel companion
The steps to set up this function are clearly structured: First, the desired connection must be selected. The notification settings can then be adjusted according to days of the week and times. Travelers have the option of assigning individual names for the connections, for example “To Work”. Repeat trips that have been set up can also be managed and notified or paused from the menu. Further information is available on the Deutsche Bahn website at bahn.de.
