Question about OBB ticket validity times

Posted by (Houston, TX) on

Howdy,
We've purchased some tickets on OBB trains in Austria and while some have a specific departure time, others state "1 hour ticket" and "valid 1 July 17:14 until 19:44". The train we were planning on catching departs at 17:14, but does this mean I can possibly take a later train if I want? Only reason I ask is that we might want to leave later than planned, but not sure if ticket is good for this, or if I have to buy a new ticket.

Not sure if it matters, but we're headed from Knittelfeld to Graz in case anyone was wondering.

Thanks!
Brett

It depends on the type of ticket you bought:

If you bought a Sparschiene ticket, this is for a specific time and specific train.

If you bought a local ticket for the S-bahn then you can go during the valid period.

If you both a normal price, flexible ticket for a railjet/ICE these are good for any train for 2 days.

Have fun in Graz.
