Description

Description (EN): Aim: Projects part of PP17 (core Network corridor Strassbourg– Danube) Construction of a new high speed line between Vienna, Main Railway station and St. Poelten including Lainzertunnel and Wienerwaldtunnel

Achievements (EN):

2012 saw 60 kilometres of high-speed railway line enter operation, making railway history: The four-track upgrade between Vienna and St. Pölten is considered to be the key project for faster and more attractive mobility along the Western Line through Austria. In total ÖBB has added 56.3km of new track and 36.9km of tunnel to its network, while trains are now operating at a maximum speed of 230km/h, the fastest in Austria. A new era for travellers began with the commissioning of the section between Vienna and St. Pölten. The journey time from Vienna to St. Pölten has since been unequalled at just 25 minutes. This means that since 2012 passengers have also been able to reach Linz and Salzburg considerably faster.
