Wiener Westbahnhof chosen as the best station in VCÖ station test

In the annual VCÖ station test, Vienna's Westbahnhof was rated by passengers as the best large station for the third consecutive time. St. Pölten's main station received the "Silver" award this year, while Salzburg's main station was awarded "Bronze." Approximately 14,400 passengers rated the stations both on the trains and online, as announced in a VCÖ press release on Friday.

This is why Vienna's Westbahnhof scores in the VCÖ station test

Passengers particularly appreciated the good accessibility of Westbahnhof by public transport and on foot, the number of ticket machines, and the brightness in the building. St. Pölten's main station was rated second best this year, with passengers valuing its good accessibility on foot and by bicycle, as well as its accessibility for people with disabilities. With the exception of Bregenz main station, all major state capital stations were rated well in the VCÖ station test. "Stations should be a place where passengers like to arrive and stay, that are easily accessible, and where many trains arrive and depart," sums up VCÖ expert Michael Schwendinger.

Among the stations outside the state capitals, Lienz station in East Tyrol was the winner. Among other things, accessibility by bike, accessibility for people with disabilities, and the building overall were top-rated by passengers. Rankweil station in Vorarlberg was rated second best by passengers, ahead of Kitzbühel station. Vienna's main station was voted the most beautiful, ahead of Salzburg main station, Vienna Westbahnhof, Graz main station, and Linz main station. Among the stations outside the state capitals, Lienz station in East Tyrol was also the most beautiful.
