Railway construction work on the German Eck: Derinations and rail replacement traffic

From today, October 25th, the railway line via the German corner will be closed until November 4th. The closure started at 11:00 p.m. and is scheduled to last until 4:00 a.m. This measure serves to carry out construction work on Deutsche Bahn, which have an important impact on the long -distance transport of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB).

Ferbie from ÖBB, which usually use the corridor route, are diverted during this time. All trains are redirected between Munich and Vienna via Passau. Tragic for travelers: The connection to Salzburg is temporarily discontinued. The RJX 62 and RJX 65 trains are particularly affected, which can be completely

redirection and rail replacement traffic

For travelers who wanted to go to Zurich, there are also changes: these trains have to be diverted via Bischofshofen and make additional support in Bischofshofen and Schwarzach-St. Veit. This leads to longer travel times, as it is stopped in Kufstein. According to the information from the ÖBB, this can extend the journey by up to two hours. For those who still want to travel to Kufstein, a rail replacement traffic is available with buses.

The Railjet between Vienna and Bregenz is also affected. Bus traffic is offered as a replacement between Salzburg and Wörgl. Trains that run between Carinthia, Styria and Germany across the Tauern route will also not drive on the affected German section of the route and end in Salzburg instead. Since the construction work already has an impact on normal timetables, there are already buses that replace individual connections between Salzburg and Tyrol.

The railway line between Kufstein and Munich, however, remains unaffected by this block. This means that travelers can continue to use this section normally.

At the Western Railway, the rail replacement traffic begins on October 26 between Salzburg and Innsbruck and Munich. The trains between Salzburg and the Westbahnhof in Vienna continue to run every half hour, which ensures continuity. It is ensured that rail replacement traffic offer sufficient connection connections during the day. The regular train between Bregenz and Innsbruck also remains in the timetable to ensure travelers a seamless transition to bus traffic.
