deciphering train tickets

BIG EDITS BELOW

Cant really help you with a copy of a ticket with a connnection on it. Sorry. But you want to buy the ticket from MAV and you want to use the MAV phone application. Everything is pretty straight forward that way. You will probably get one ticket for the train and two "tickets" which are the seat reservations. But its all on your phone.

Your transfer is in Budapest-Kelenföld. When you get off the train there are very large, very hard to miss display boards with the track numbers for all of the trains. I promise, its not hard, but I do know its a little unnerving the first time. Do get your things together and begin moving to the door before the train stops in Budpaest. Then if the train is on time the 9 minutes is adequate.

Now, if you miss the connection. Not to worry, there are trians every hour to Vienna. I think your ticket should be good on the next train but to be honest I am not certain the procedure. So go to the ticket office at the front of the tracks and they will get you a new seat reservation and confrim your ticket is good or give you a new one. This is a small station almost more like a bus stop than a station.

A few edits above

A train ticket typically does not show where your next train will leave from, or often not even where you need to transfer. A train ticket is a receipt that you have paid to travel from A to B.

In Central Europe (which issues NRT tickets) often follow the usual standard and look similar. The ÖBB ticket is explained here:

When you purchase a ticket the railway may, or may not, print the connections you selected during the purchase process, but that is just to help remind you what trains you planned to take. That does not imply that you must take those trains.

9 minutes is ample time usually to sort out where your next train will leave from. You find out either by listening to announcements, looking at displays in the train, using an app, or the old fashioned way: By looking at displays at the station.

For international tickets there are layouts defined in the European standard, but most railways now use a flexible layout that is easy to display. European regulations require international tickets to use one of German, French, Italian or English in addition to the local language, which is why I learned what all the different railway terms were in those languages quite early...

Here is a map of the station. Between tracks you have to go down the stairs and cross under. The ticket office is on the track level.

I hate to say this but I have been to Pécs exatly 3 times and exactly 3 times the train back was late.

I've been on the train to Vienna a number of times. Is your discount ticket good on any train to Vienna like is said above? Dont know. Im not willing to pay the penalty for you if I were wrong. So, my advice is go to the ticket office. Besides the Vienna train can be quite full and having a seat reservation makes a world of difference sometimes. For that, on the next train, your app may not work and you may need to go to the ticket office anyway.

If you miss the connection in Kelenfold you can just get on the next train to Vienna. Reservation is not compulsory with international tickets. However I you have time go to the ticket office, show them the reservation for the train you missed and get one for the next train (which you should get for free).

I am inclined to agree with Mr E. It looks to me as if the tickets are for a certain specified train. I, too, am not going to pay your penalty fare if you just take a later train, without agreement of station staff.
Also there is a running theme on the forum as to how busy the Budapest to Vienna trains can be- are you going to get a last minute seat reservation, or have to stand for part or all of the journey? I don't know.
However on the MAV website, you can increase your connection time (so you have a 1 hour 9 minute connection)- on the website at top right there is a button labelled 'refine'. Click that and then the button which says 'at least 10 min connection time'.
Presumably the app has that option as well.
I am not casting any aspersions at all on Hungarian Railways, but 9 minutes does feel a bit tight to me, if you don't know the layout of the connecting station (any connecting station, not Kelenfold in particular).
My gut feeling would be to click that button, and give yourself a 69 minute connection, assuming you haven't already purchased your ticket. It is in all probability what I would do.

isn31c, its a shame for anyone to have to hang around for an hour or more, but things are such that the odds of missing tge connection are decent and if what to do next makes a tourist uncomfortable then booking the longer connection is worth considering.

And yes, you need a seat reservation to Vienna except when the train is empty. How does it go? Do you feel lucky? Well do you ...? The reservation is 600ft or 800ft, cant remember. Worth it.

Buying. Easier to buy on a computer but when you log into the phone app, your tickets will be there for you. What is confusing is tickets and seat assignments look identical. Is okay, the conductor will help you. If you get checked at all.

If you are 65+ the Pecs to Budapest ticket is free if you get it separately from the Budapest to Vienna ticket. I would still get a seat reservation from Pecs and that will cost about 600ft I think.

Interesting timing. I just walked a young lady to Nyugati Station and bought her a ticket to Nyíregyháza using the vending machines. 4250 Ft including the seat reservation. Took 3 minutes. The tickets that the machine spit out dont look anything like to OBB tickets above. But straight forward to read.

Thanks for all the information.If trains run often should not be a huge problem.Also German to English good to know.
