inter-city service is also planned. However, it is still unclear whether some of ÖBB’s inter-city trains will continue to serve Vienna West. Open- access operator Westbahn has already announced that its Vienna - Salzburg - Freilassing service will continue to operate from West and ÖBB does not want to lose passengers to Westbahn. Several improvements were made to

platforms are to expected to open in December 2014. However, due to some delays three platforms will only be accessible from the Meidling end allowing trains currently terminating at Meidling to be extended to Main Station. The connection at the other end will be completed a year later enabling the final operational concept to be introduced in December 2015. To take full advantage of the new


station some changes had to be made to the Vienna rail network. Most important is a new tunnel between West and Meidling forming part of the new Vienna - St Pölten high-speed line which opened in December 2012. This will enable trains from Linz and Salzburg to run directly to Main Station without having to reverse at West.

from the eastern side of Main Station to the Ostbahn to Bruck-an-der-Leitha and the airport which is due to open in 2015.


Once these projects have been completed ÖBB plans to introduce a new timetable concept for its long- distance trains serving Vienna. Although plans are still being finalised, Railjet services operating every two hours are expected to be organised as

Vienna airport, and  Vienna - Zürich.


regional train services in December 2012. Some of the trains which terminated at South (East) now continue to Meidling and a number of cross-Vienna services have been introduced such as S-Bahn links from Hirschstetten to Wiener Neustadt and from Bruck-an-der-Leitha to Hütteldorf, and a regional express service from Bratislava Petrzalka to Ebenfurth and Deutschkreutz. Once Main Station is fully operational more through local services may be introduced. Whilst some long-distance trains will


serve the airport from 2015 there is also an option to operate an S-Bahn service from Main Station to the airport via the new chord which would complement the existing Floridsdorf - Rennweg - Airport S-Bahn service. However, ÖBB has yet to conclude a funding agreement and will not introduce such a service without a subsidy. Like many other large stations Main
