Important changes coming to the Austro-Hungarian railway network
In the future, electric trains will replace diesel trains from Austria to Sopron in Hungary.
“The Mattersburgerbahn railway line, which runs from Wiener Neustadt through Mattersburg, via the border crossing Loipersbach-Schattendorf to Sopron, is being modernised,” magyarhirlap.hu reports, citing a report by Austrian Public Radio (ORF).
As a result of the improvements, several level crossings will be replaced by underpasses and overpasses, which will increase the safety of road users. Six Austrian railway stations along the line will also be renewed, and all of them will have barrier-free platforms. The renovation will benefit many Hungarians.
