‘Scene’ (again) in Seefeld, Austria on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

Continuing my blog a day until the end of the current ‘lockdown’. 

 

I hope you are enjoying them.

 

Seefeld is where we stayed in Austria. At something approaching 4,000 feet above sea level it made for crisp frosty mornings even in early Autumn..

 

The town lies on the OBB’s (Austrian Federal Railways) railway line linking Innsbruck with Munich and surprisingly is mainly single line.

 

The buses I saw all seemed to be funded by the Tirol region.

 

The buses in Seefeld all seem to terminate at the railway station. 

 

A true ‘ Transport Interchange’ loved by all transport planners.

I know that I go on about buses having two or three doors but to stand at busy bus stops in most places abroad and see the speed at which they can load and unload is amazing.

 

Even something as small as this bus has two doors.

 

In the UK, 80 seat double deckers with one door take ages to do the same thing.

 

Multiple doors has to be the way forward. (Rant over).

 

This bus, daily operates a free service, linking the railway station with the village centre and a number of outlying villages.
