All hopes are not yet gone – those of the union and those of the passengers who could be affected on Monday. Before the warning strike announced for Monday at the ÖBB, the Westbahn and the other domestic railways because of the stalled KV negotiations, the battle for an appointment is still going on. However, if there is a strike, all train services will come to a standstill. ÖBB is already preparing its passengers for this scenario.
The strike is expected to last from midnight to midnight and will also affect cross-border traffic and night trains. “From Sunday evening or until Tuesday morning there may be disruptions in the Nightjet and EuroNight connections,” ÖBB wrote in a broadcast. In the event of a strike, the railways will publish details of restrictions, delays or cancellations on oebb.at/streik, the ÖBB social media channels and in the SCOTTY timetable information.
The railway company is asking all travelers to postpone non-essential travel or choose alternative travel options. At the same time, you are assured that in the event of a strike, all standard and Sparschiene tickets will remain valid until 5 December or will be refunded. According to the ÖBB, season ticket holders are also compensated in accordance with passenger rights.
