West route St. Pölten-Wien: Finally again on time and faster!

A ray of hope for commuters in Lower Austria: After three long months full of inconvenience, the trains between St. Pölten and Vienna are finally back! Since December 15, 2024, the western railway line has been in full company again and the travel time is now only 22 minutes. The reopening was symbolically initiated with a solemn test run, in which important personalities such as the State Council Udo Landbauer and Minister of Climate Protection Leonore of Guessler were also present. "It is a more than a gratifying day for the many thousands of commuters," said Landbauer appreciatively, while he praised the rapid restoration of this important transport connection, which was severely impaired by devastating floods in September 2024, such as noe.orf reported.
