According to this pressrelease, Südostbahn is the latest railroad to order the new FLIRT type trainsets from Stadler. Previously, SBB and (Euro)Thurbo had already ordered them and the first SBB units have been in service for the Stadtbahn Zug.
This is an interesting new website - a nice fellow in Switzerland actually went to all the trouble of typing all the scheduled trains (excluding local all-stop trains) into a database, along with their consist data. Must have been a lot of work …
The data on the site is great, but I think the displays with all the locomotive and car pictures are a bit too much - I think the data would be much more readable without the images or with smaller ones and of the were aligned horizontally instead of vertically. But still, a very nice website.
