Since Monday, February 12, 2024, the Austrian Federal Railways have reduced services in the greater Vienna area by around 1,9 percent. On average, around 50 connections are canceled every day. According to the ÖBB, the reason for the measure is that numerous sets are undergoing lengthy maintenance and they want to bring stability to the timetable. Between Mödling and Wiener Neustadt Hbf, three early train connections on Monday to Friday will be operated by the Austrian Postbus AG on behalf of the ÖBB in the form of a rail replacement service with buses until March 1, 2024. The ÖBB has recently been under fire in the eastern region because many connections have been canceled day after day. Another change affects the bus lines 1155 and 7941, which run from Vienna via Wiener Neustadt to Mittelburgenland. These were previously offered by the Austrian Postbus AG and Blaguss Reisen GmbH under their own concession. Verkehrsbetriebe Burgenland GmbH took over both lines on January 1, 2024 and has now started the conversion. Line 1155 will no longer start in Vienna, but in Wiener Neustadt. There are also significant changes for passengers on other routes. These are not just new line signals, but courses and routes have been modified. More information on this can be found directly on the VBB information page.
