93 85 0 501 042-2 CH-WSTBA. Two days before taking up regular service between Wien and Villach, Westbahn did a run for invited guests, also stopping in Graz. They ordered three Stadler Smile units, numbered 501 042 to 044, so continuing the SBB numbers of class RABe 501 Giruno. From the factory they are identical to the SBB train, so they don't need any redesign or renewed approval to run. For their service they are actually overqualified, the multi-system equipment and permission to go to Italy is currently not needed. The trains are leased from Stadler to Westbahn for six years. Graz Hbf, 2026-02-27.
