More capacity
The number of passenger and freight trains is rising. The capacity needed for this is being created by the upgrade to four tracks from Linz towards Wels. As a passenger, you’ll experience significant benefits: a denser rapid transit system in the Linz-Wels region, an integrated timetable and a better overall selection of regional and express train services. You’ll also benefit from new, modern and accessible stops with Park&Ride facilities.
The number of rail-based freight services can also increase. A real alternative to the increasing volume of lorries and cars, traffic jams and hunting for somewhere to park – the four-track Linz-Wels upgrade will make this possible. By the way, did you know that for each tonne of freight transported by an average lorry, about 21 times more CO2emissions are generated than transporting the same amount of freight by train?
