Fleet
As part of AstyRail, AlpenRail uses the latest generation of high speed rail equipment derived from the Orbis rail systems 2E2-7 type electric locomotive, these 6,000hp electric locomotives are capable of running at 340km/h for sustained periods taking power from overhead AC or DC wires. The coaches are equally high tech steel monocoque coaches for high strength rather than simply light weight which along with their dynamic air suspension, means they have an excellent ride with regards to passenger comfort with each car being air conditioned.
Trains operated by AlpenRail are 6 car sets with 4 business, (coach class) cars seating 4 abreast, one restaurant car mounted mid way down the train, and one first class coach seating 3 abreast in wide seats with fully electric recline systems. Each seat, whether in first or coach class has a power hook up for powering of laptop computers and mobile phones, adapters for different voltages are available free of charge at station kiosks.
Tickets, Payment and booking
Payment for trips with AlpenRail is possible by one of 3 ways, There is the traditional cash and card transactions, but also the AlpenTrans card or other e-card from an AstyRail partner, such as the VIPER card.
The AlpenTrans card is a pre-loaded card that is topped up by cash, credit/debit card at stations, by telephone, or online using a valid credit or debit card. AlpenTrans cards allow you to touch-in and touch out on local trips, as well as buying tickets for long distance trips with a 10% discount over regular cash or card purchased tickets for journeys on AlpenRail trains, which unlike some travel cards, they can be used at ANY time, peak time or off peak, day or night week day or weekends, and are also valid on international journeys. AlpenTrans cards can also be used to book advanced travel tickets online, when upon arriving at the station to commence your journey, just place your AlpenTrans card on the reader at the auto-vend machine and your ticket is printed off. Being part of AstyRail, AlpenTrans cards and their equivalents from other AstyRail carriers are valid across the AstyRail network, this allows users of other AstyRail equivalent cards to purchase tickets with their AstyRail e-cards, and AlpenRail passengers to use their AlpenTrans cards when purchasing tickets on other AstyRail carriers, whether being in Neu Engollon or not.
Top up a AlpenTrans card by H$100 or more in one sitting, or travel using a AlpenTrans card 60 times in one month with a minimum journey length of 100km your card can earn you A-Trans points. These A-Trans points can be used to get a free travel return ticket on an off-peak or weekend travel, 1,000 points for a one way, 2,000 points for a return journey.
Being part of the AstyRail network, AlpenRail accepts our own tickets as well as tickets of any other ASTYRAIL carrier, these tickets are printed to a standard format, and valid for scheduled hops on commuter airlines and passenger ferries that are operated by AstyRail connection partners, for parts of Astyria that are separated by water, allowing total coverage of Astyria.
