After an overhead line disruption over the weekend, train traffic on the Eastern Railway in eastern Lower Austria remains restricted for the time being. According to ÖBB, the repair work in the section Gramatneusiedl – Bruck an der Leitha is expected to last until Wednesday.

In particular, damage to the cabling still needs to be repaired.

For local commuters, the disruption continues to mean restrictions: Local trains between Gramatneusiedl and Bruck an der Leitha are canceled.

Therefore, ÖBB has set up a rail replacement service with buses.

Not all connections are affected. Railjet and RegioJet trains are operating as scheduled.

Additionally, these trains make unscheduled stops in Bruck an der Leitha and Gramatneusiedl to maintain the travel chain towards Vienna Central Station and Bratislava.

There is also a special regulation for tickets: According to ÖBB, all tickets between Vienna and Hegyeshalom are also recognized on RegioJet trains.

The Eurocity connections are canceled except for a few trains.

The original disruption occurred on Saturday morning. According to initial findings, an animal is believed to have gotten into the overhead line, causing a cable fire.

Operations could initially only be resumed in a limited capacity on Sunday. Repair work has been ongoing since then.
