This will please public transport users: after the fire on the Vienna U1, the metro line is back in normal operation. The fire started early last week in the middle of a special train with six carriages – without passengers.
“From now on, the U1 line is again in use for you between Leopoldau and Oberlaa. We thank you for your patience and wish you a safe journey!”, Wiener Linien told the APA on Friday morning.
The fire started early last week in the middle of a special train with six carriages – without passengers. The train had stopped burning in the tunnel between the Taubstummengasse and Südtiroler Platz/Hauptbahnhof stations.
Since then there has been only limited activity. The metro was only in use between Oberlaa and Reumannplatz and between Schwedenplatz and Leopoldau. The stations Keplerplatz to Stephansplatz were not observed.
