The most expected answer would be Paris but the Arlberg Express continues to Calais.

I'm perplexed, Kainantu.

Various travel websites suggest The Arlberg Express normally runs between Calais and Innsbruck, though it doesn't leave Innsbruck at 8.10 pm. The OEBB online timetable tells me that the main station at Vienna doesn't have a scheduled departure at 8.10 pm. There's an 8.01 departure to Bucharest?

Ot the 1000 odd questions I successfully responded to on the previous AFT Stew54, this one gave me the greatest joy and I posted it for others the get the same buzz as I did. It took many -underline many- hours to research, checking maps and timetables as you have done. You take the prize for your research skills. I am totally amazed at the speed in which you researched your answer and... perhaps unlike me, you can read German !

At the time the train left at 8:10 from Vienna to terminate to Calais and not Paris.

Obviously the question needs to be reworded as your research shows.
