Train travel in Austria has big problems

123

There are big problems on the Brenner train line. Long distance trains do not run between Innsbruck and Bozen. This lasts until August 1. The reason is construction work in Italy. The Austrian railways also repair tunnels in Austria. Buses replace the trains. There are no big traffic jams yet.

From July 23 the line is closed longer. Then buses run between Innsbruck and the Brenner. Local trains also have problems. Travelers must change trains often. The railway sends some trains on a long detour.

The West line also has problems. A power line is broken between Linz and St. Valentin. This damaged a signal building. The repair lasts until Sunday. Many trains run less often or stop early. Buses also replace local trains here.
