Expansion of the Main Train Station Wiener Neustadt Started
The infrastructure project is expected to be completed by 2029. According to a press release, it also includes extensive modernization measures for the track systems.
According to ÖBB, Lower Austria's second-largest city is "a strategically important traffic hub south of Vienna, where a total of six railway lines converge," and "one of the timetable nodes with the most train stops in Austria." There are about 40 trains per hour during the morning and evening peak times. A fourth track coming from Vienna is intended to increase capacity. New noise barriers will also be constructed, among other things.
Start for the Expansion of Wiener Neustadt Main Train Station
Judith Engel, board member of ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG, sees the project as "an important step for the future of local and long-distance transport in the region. The expansion to four tracks will significantly improve the capacity and flexibility of Wiener Neustadt Main Train Station." The expansion is an important step for the development of the city, said Mayor Klaus Schneeberger (ÖVP). State parliament member Philipp Gerstenmayer (FPÖ) spoke of an investment in the stability and reliability of public transport.
