After years of planning, it is now a reality: the Seekirchen Stadt stop. It is intended to better connect the district of the Flachgau district capital to the public transport network. The district court and district administration are now easier to reach. For the very first passenger, the first stop was a special experience. 

It was the night owls from Saturday to Sunday who were able to use the ÖBB stop in Seekirchen Stadt. The first train stopped punctually at 00:47 and set off in the direction of Frankenmarkt. Two trains per hour and per direction should now better connect the district capital to the public transport network. ÖBB spokesman Robert Mosser could not hide his joy as a Seekirchen resident and wrote on social media: "It is something very special to be the very first passenger in history here." 

According to ÖBB Infrastructure Director Judith Engel, the construction planning, logistics and implementation went "smoothly". The official opening will take place in the spring, once the remaining work on the bus bar has been completed.
