Rail replacement in Vienna: U1 part lock to the subway fire

After a fire in the subway, the Viennese lines have set up a rail replacement traffic from Thursday. This measure comes as a result of the continued clean -up work that is necessary due to the incident. The fire has led to a partial blocking of the U1 line, which affects the mobility of the passengers. The renovation work and the subsequent cleaning work ran over a longer period of time, so that this replacement traffic became essential.

The fire brigade reacted quickly to the fire and was able to control it quickly so that greater damage to the infrastructure could be prevented. Nevertheless, the daily commuters and travelers are directly affected because they have to use alternative ways to get their destination. The rail replacement traffic is temporarily maintained until the route is completely safe again. The Viennese lines advise passengers to find out more about changes in the timetable in good time.

Details on the Situation

The U1 line is an important connection in Vienna, and the current situation shows the challenges with which the operating processes are faced with unexpected events. The Viennese lines have announced that they would give constant updates and to inform passengers about the progress of the cleanup. In the meantime, passengers can use the diversion and alternatives described to achieve their goals efficiently.
