ÖBB: Reservations for trains after faults finally possible again!

On June 2, 2025, the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) fought with considerable disturbances in their reservation system since Sunday afternoon. These problems primarily concerned the reservations for national train connections. According to Vol.at reservations for national day traffic are now possible, while the disturbances in the international daily connections and night trains should be fixed at the latest.

The difficulties resulted in some seats reserved several times, which led to the fact that affected passengers had to remain on the platforms. The customers who are affected by double reservations are contacted directly by the ÖBB. The service number 05-17-17 and the train staff are available for further information.

international connections and night trains

The ÖBB are working intensively to fix the problems as quickly as possible, especially for international connections that are handled by night trains. These offer a comfortable way of traveling and are a popular choice for many travelers. Interested parties can find more details on the Deutsche Bahn website at Bahn.de .

In times like this, in which travelers are mostly dependent on real-time information, digital travel gym is gaining in importance. For example, Deutsche Bahn offers a function for activating "trip" in the DB Navigator. With this function, travelers can be informed in good time about regular connections and track changes. To use this option, registration via the customer account is required.

The steps to set up this function are clearly structured: First, the desired connection must be selected. The notification settings can then be adjusted after weekdays and times. Travelers have the option of assigning individual names for the connections, for example "to work". The menu can also be managed and notified or paused on the menu.
