Hello, I just posted about a train itinerary from Lindau-Insel to Salzburg via Bregenz but my friend has suggested we take a taxi back to Passau once we are off the ship and take the train from Passau instead. This looks to be a lot faster with a 32 min transfer at Wels Hbf.

Of course if you want to get to Salzburg from Passau that is the best option. But you appear to be confused about geography, so first clear that up.

Ok. Confusion cleared up: There is a Lindau near Passau as well. That has nothing to do with Lindau-Insel, which is a station on an Island in lake Constance, about half way across Germany...
Taking a taxi to Passau, and the train from there is the best option.
However, as this train trip is in Austria book this with the Austrian Railways: www.oebb.at
However, there is no need to book this now.

Thank-you. Yes a bit of confusion there with the cruise company only referring to Lindau and not Lindau Pier, which is the accurate location.

And the only reason it is an hour slower than a car transfer is because of the unusually long connection in Wels. But I guess they had to make a choice there, and choose to give good connections direction Vienna, and not direction Salzburg. May improve once they have enough trains to run the RJX to Salzburg every half hour...
