Railjet trains return to Vöcklabruck: better connection from October 10th

Vöcklabruck. From October 10th, the time has finally come: The Railjet trains will return to Vöcklabruck train station after a long interruption due to damage due to floods. This decision is not only a return to normal, but also a significant relief of the connection for travelers and commuters.

The flood disaster in Lower Austria had led to the suspension of the railjet contents in Vöcklabruck and Neumarkt on Lake Wallersee. The return of these two train stations in the high -speed network of the ÖBB Railjets means that passengers can now again use direct connections to important cities such as Vienna, Linz and Salzburg. "We are pleased to offer the usual connections for our passengers again," said a spokesman for ÖBB.

technical challenges and solutions

A reason for the temporary disorder was that the platform in Vöcklabruck is only 380 meters long. This is not sufficient for the new rail jets extended due to the flood, which claim at least 410 meters in length. The Westbahn, on the other hand, was not affected by this problem, since its trains are typically briefly designed. This is done by using double -decker trains, which, although they offer a high capacity, do not achieve the same length as the railjets.

The return of the Railjet contents could result in a wave of relief for the local population, since the trains offer the usual comfort and simplify travel in the region. A strong focus is on improving the accessibility and the attractiveness of the travel connections for the daily commuters.

As the ÖBB emphasizes, the resumption of the cities is not only restored, but also the entire regular operation is to be stabilized. These developments are particularly important because the Vöcklabruck region is a significant traffic hub and a good connection to the rail network is crucial for the local economy.
