The Railjets are the smartest trains, but there are 6 x Railjet trains per day.

The Railjets tend to be around 10 mins faster than the IC/EC trains - and they are known as 'RJX' services on this route.

Final Destination:

Sopron or Szombathely (the IC trains)
Wien (the EC trains)
Munchen or Zurich (the Railjets)

These trains also call at: Budapest-Kelenfold
