Train traffic between Rosenheim and Kufstein after fault again!

Kufstein, Österreich - The train traffic between Rosenheim and Kufstein was once again in operation. As the Bavarian Regiobahn (BRB) reports, the section of the route was completely closed the day before due to an overhead line damage. Fortunately, the repairs could be completed in the course of the morning, so that the trains now run back into regulated paths.

The overhead line damage caused major impairments, especially on the last day of the Pentecost holidays. Travelers had to expect severe delays, which was understandably a nuisance for many. The regional railway 54, which leads from Munich to Kufstein, was also affected, but a replacement bus traffic was set up for this route in order to offer passengers a way to move on.

international influence and other disorders

But that was not all: as tz , international connections were also affected by this disorder. In particular, the ICE trains from Berlin to Innsbruck, Nightjets from Amsterdam to Innsbruck and Railjets from Munich towards Italy had to accept numerous detours and time delays due to the overhead line problem. Travelers should be prepared for persistent restrictions, since a further blocking between Regensburg and Ingolstadt has already been announced for July.

The current situation once again made the challenges in rail traffic clear. A comprehensive analysis of the rail infrastructure in Europe, which can be found on the Boeckler website , that Germany often lags behind compared to other European countries such as Austria and Switzerland. Problems such as train failures and delays in particular are widespread in the German lanes. Therefore, recommendations for an improvement in rail policy are urgently necessary.

rail transport is an essential part of mobility in many European countries. It is all the more important that such disorders do not become the rule and travelers can rely on smooth connections. The continued pressure of travelers and the public discourse on the quality of the rail transport could perhaps give the impetus for a positive turn.
