Everything is currently on schedule: the 36 million euro ÖBB stop Seekirchen-Süd is due to go into operation with the timetable change in December.

A Railjet roars past, concrete parts float through the air, welders do their work. "One of the biggest challenges is certainly the busy western line with more than 300 trains per day," explains ÖBB project manager Christian Höss during the "Krone" site inspection at the construction site of the future ÖBB Seekirchen-Süd train stop. This is because work is being carried out during ongoing rail operations.
