The closure of the southern railway line between Mödling and Pfaffstätten as a result of a traffic accident will take longer than originally assumed. The interruption will probably last until the start of operations on Saturday morning due to the extensive clean-up and repair work, the ÖBB announced on Friday evening. It was originally expected that operations would resume on Friday evening.
A rail replacement service with buses between Mödling and Bad Vöslau will be continued for the duration of the line closure. Long-distance trains are diverted via the Pottendorfer line.
