Severe storms, including strong wind gusts, passed through Carinthia, East Tyrol and Styria on Thursday afternoon. The result: widespread power outages. As a result, train traffic in all three countries was completely stopped!
Severe storms severely damaged the power supply and rail infrastructure in southern Austria on Thursday afternoon. ÖBB stopped all train traffic in Carinthia, East Tyrol and Styria in the afternoon.
The cause was a large-scale failure of the 110 kV traction power supply for the region of Carinthia and Styria, the railways reported. The duration of the interruption is currently unknown.
Replacement traffic is only possible to a limited extent
According to Bahn, there is a breakdown of all train traffic in the affected region. Trains on the route were diverted to the next station. Replacement traffic is only possible to a limited extent.
ÖBB is preparing an emergency timetable. The duration of the blockage can only be predicted after a detailed assessment of the damage in the coming hours. All available employees are on duty, the railways assured.
