Innsbruck to Budapest by train

There is a daily direct daytime train from Innsbruck, which is typically scheduled to arrive in Budapest at around 21:15.
Though most of the Railjet trains which head east from Innsbruck and terminate in Wien/Vienna have easy connections into trains on to Budapest - so it's usually possible to arrive in the Hungarian capital before 13:30.
Despite the distance, taking the daytime trains is the best option, because the night train which travels from Switzerland, is typically scheduled to depart from Innsbruck at around 01:30am.
