Hi - another timetable query from me. I’ve been looking at the trains from Salzburg to Vienna on 29th April 2024 on the OBB websute and this message has come up.

Construction work - Train cannot run

Linz/Donau Hbf <=> Wels Hbf

Due to construction work some local-trains cannot operate between Linz/Donau Hbf and Wels Hbf/Attnang-Puchheim Bahnhof from 29/04/2024 through 29/06/2024.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

There seem to be a mix of trains in the search results - Railjets (marked in red)  and some marked WB (in blue). The WB trains stop at Westbahnhof - are these the local trains referred to in the warning message? If so, does this mean the Railjets will run according to the timetable? Many thanks

No, Railjet are the express trains of state operator OBB, Westbahn are a private operator also running express trains on that route, they use Vienna Westbahnhof rather then Hbf.

Passes are valid on both operators but only in standard class on Westbahn.

Both will be running as per the times on the OBB planner, other local trains are those curtailed for that period.

@Al_G That’s brilliant - thanks very much for replying so quickly
