Several Weeks of Partial Closure of the S45 in Vienna: Replacement Bus Service
ÖBB spokesperson Florian Pirnbacher explained that parts of the route were modernized just under two years ago. However, the remaining switches and tracks are now also on the agenda. During the renovation period, track and switch systems in the section between Hernals and Handelskai will be renewed, and the track substructure will be renovated or repaired.
Work on S45 Planned in Two Phases
Since the renovation work cannot be carried out during ongoing operations, the implementation is divided into two phases, as reported by ORF. The first phase concerns the period from April 28 to June 12, during which no trains will run in the mentioned section. From June 12 to June 23, only the section from Heiligenstadt to Handelskai will be affected.
Replacement Bus Service for Commuters
During this work, a replacement bus service will be set up for commuters. These buses will run at a high frequency of five to 15 minutes, depending on the day of the week and time. ÖBB assumes that the bus journey will take about 20 minutes longer than the train ride, but it can be offered as a good alternative. From the end of June, all trains should run according to the schedule again.
