After an exciting and intensive construction phase, the new Mariazell train station has been ceremoniously opened today. The modernization of the train station, in which around ten million euros were invested, took a total of nine months. The aim was to preserve the historical charm of the building, while at the same time the necessary modern standards became reality. Mariazell has been an important hub of the Mariazellerbahn for more than a century, which welcomes around 55,000 passengers annually.

Wolfgang Schroll, Managing Director of the Lower Austrian Transport Organization Society (NÖVOG), confirmed the continuously increasing demand in rail operations. The redesigned train station ensures that various traffic systems are effectively linked together, supported by modern infrastructure. In the renovation, not only the overhead lines were refreshed, but also completely renewed the substructure. In addition, a pre -heat system, new switches, rails and thresholds were created, and 33 new masts were set up.

Udo Landbauer, Deputy Governor of Lower Austria (FPÖ), was also present for the celebrations. He emphasized the "performance offensive", which is to be promoted on the Mariazellerbahn in the near future. It is particularly important that the cooperation between Lower Austria and Styria works smoothly, especially at the final station. This shows how significant the rail connection is beyond regional borders and what role it plays in the national transport system.
