Westbahn route in Lower Austria: Finally open again after flood damage!
Tullnerfeld, Österreich - After months of repair work, the Westbahn line in Lower Austria has been back into operation since June 6, 2025. This reports
The Tullnerfeld train station was put into operation again on November 4, 2024. The station hall was cleaned and access to the platforms is now possible again via stairs and elevators. Park & Ride and Bike & Ride systems as well as stops for rail replacement traffic and regular buses are located on the forecourt of the station. Despite the current company admission, some parts of the train station, such as shops, are closed due to construction work. While ÖBB continue to carry out renovation work during ongoing operation, the noise level remains high due to the construction site activities. However, monitors, loudspeakers, WiFi and platform ads are already fully functional, as well as two ticket machines in the passage. A mobile heating plant ensures heat for those waiting, while toilet containers were set up on the forecourt. Snacks and drinks are available on the platforms via machines. These flood events contextualize in the context of a major problem that is also discussed by the federal government. Comprehensive flood management is the focus of the measures taken by the federal and state governments. These were created in response to the increase in heavy rain and the associated risk of flooding in slopes and coastal places. The Federal Government has posted an immediate program for climate adjustment, which comprises 60 million euros and provides expert support for municipalities, reports Federal Government.de . The events of July 2021 illustrate how important an effective flood protection is. The progress in the infrastructure for risk prevention and the need for better forecasts for flood and flood forecasts are crucial for the future security of the population. The federal government also plans to financially support the federal states and municipalities in projects for floor deflection and rainwater failure in order to reduce the risks through climate change and extreme weather events.
