Due to truck accident
Annoyance among ÖBB customers due to Christmas delay
ÖBB customers waited two hours or more at Bischofshofen station to finally get to their families in Carinthia...
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen No trace of Christmas idyll! Around 40 ÖBB customers waited for the rail replacement service in Bischofshofen on December 24th. As reported, the Tauern railway tunnel is being renovated. The buses were supposed to replace the train service between Pongau and Spittal.
One of those affected recounts: "I was on my way to my family in Villach. We go tobogganing every year on the 24th and I missed it." Bischofshofen station is cold and windy - not a pleasant place to start an idyllic Christmas Day.
"There are only a few chairs there, but not nearly enough for 40 people. The nice employee at the service center even brought us an office chair so that at least someone could sit down."
It wasn't until around 10.30 a.m. that several buses arrived. ÖBB says: "Unfortunately, we can't do anything about it if the rail replacement buses are also delayed due to traffic. This is of course unpleasant, but our employees are doing their best to handle this construction site as best they can." Whether those affected are entitled to a refund has yet to be clarified.
