Expansion of the Westbahn network: More connections for travelers in Austria

With the planned timetable change on December 15, 2024, the Westbahn will fundamentally expand its connecting network. The changes affect not only the routes in Austria, but also cross -border traffic to Germany, especially to Stuttgart. This is an important step for the region, which can look forward to benefiting from increased availability of the rail services.

The Westbahn, which has been driving from Vienna to Salzburg and on to Munich, Innsbruck and Bregenz for over 13 years, wants to offer travelers a modernized and comfortable travel experience. Managing Director Thomas Posch emphasizes how important it is that the passengers not only get your destination safely, but can also enjoy an individual travel experience.

extension of the route network

The upcoming changes include a doubling of the connections to Vorarlberg. After the successful start of the daily direct connection Vienna - Bregenz, part of the offer to the connection Lindau is being expanded. The travel frequency is significantly increased and the travel time is reduced by half an hour. All previous stops remain, and a new stop in Bregenz Riedenburg is set up.

In Tyrol, the Westbahn will also head the Jenbach station in the future. In addition, west of Innsbruck is held at the Westbahnhof and Imst-Pitztal train stations both towards Vienna and in the direction of Bregenz. In addition, a connection from Vienna via Salzburg to St. Johann im Pongau is extended, which gives access to further places such as Hallein, Golling and Bischofshofen.

These new connections are particularly interesting for nature lovers and sports enthusiasts, since St. Johann im Pongau is an excellent starting point for various activities in the surrounding mountains.

attractive ticket prices

The pricing policy of the Westbahn also remains customer -friendly. For example, ticket prices for the new routes are extremely competitive. Travelers can drive from Salzburg to Bregenz from 13.99 euros. The connection between Innsbruck and Bregenz also begins at a price of only 8.99 euros, while the route from Bregenz to Vienna is available for 23.99 euros.

The Westbahn not only wants to offer reliable and safe travel, but also enable inexpensive access to various travel destinations. With this expansion and attractive prices, the Westbahn becomes an attractive option for many travelers to commute between the cities and regions.
