Technical chaos at ÖBB: Reservations not possible for the time being!

Österreich, 2000 - On June 2, 2025 at 8:18 a.m., the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) reported on a system failure that affects the booking options for seat reservations and night train tickets. The failure was registered for the first time on Sunday and has led to considerable restrictions for passengers since then.

According to ÖBB spokesman Herbert Hofer, the technical problem requires an intensive revision of the reservation system. The causes of this failure are still unclear at the current time. While numerous seats have been reserved several times in the trains, many passengers had to stay on the platforms, which made travel planning considerably more difficult for many.

intensive solutions

The ÖBB work with high pressure on a solution to the problem. The first positive results are expected during the day, as can be seen from the current information. It remains to be seen how long the disorder will last and when the booking options will finally be available again.

This technical breakdown has already led to a large chaos among travelers in the first phase. Passengers who were on the go or wanted to plan a trip were severely restricted in their mobility due to the unexplodable offers. The ÖBB are under pressure to ensure that the regular operation is restored quickly.
