Please help me understand this Deutsche Bahn schedule from Prague to Vienna

  • The train arrives at 11h37 in Pardubice and leaves from there at
    11h39. You don’t have to get out. It’s the same for the other
    stations.

  • Yes, “Platf. 2” means “Platform 2”

  • Wiener Neustadt is not Vienna. It is a small town next to Vienna.

  • If you want to get into the center of Vienna, get out of the train at Wien Simmering. From there you can take the metro U3.

  • At the moment, the main railway station of Vienna is called Wien Westbahnhof

First, the most important fact: Wiener Neustadt is not vienna! And here the other answers:

1) In Pardubice the train stops for 2 minutes. You don’t have to change the train there I think. So it shouldn’t be a problem for you.

2) Yes Wien Simmering is part of Vienna. It is not directly in the center, but it is the place where a lot of trains go through. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simmering_%28Vienna%29). The reason that it’s still one hour to the destination is simple: You’re destination is not in Vienna.

3) Yes in German platform is the same word as in English

4) No, Wiener Neustadt is not Vienna. It is not far away but definitively not the same city. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiener_Neustadt
