(Haus/Ennstal, December 8th, 2025) The Ennstalbahn between Bischofshofen and Selzthal is currently being modernized: stations are being converted or newly built and the route is being brought up to date. After just nine months of construction, the renovation of the Bahnhof Haus building was completed on schedule. The result is impressive. The most noticeable renovation is a new central platform with a length of 160 meters - including a covered waiting area and access via a barrier-free ramp. In addition, the station now boasts modern LED lighting, new benches and information display cases. A new P+R facility was also built. It offers space for 26 cars as well as covered parking spaces for around 20 bicycles and six motorcycles. In addition, the railway crossings in Ruperting and Tunzendorf were modernized, thereby further increasing safety. The converted train station will be available from December 14, 2025 with the OBB timetable change.
Judith Engel, CEO of OBB-Infrastructure AG: Our goal is to give as many people as possible easy and comfortable access to the railway. The renovation in Haus im Ennstal makes a significant contribution to this and is at the same time an important milestone in the modernization of the entire Ennstalbahn.
Claudia Holzer, Styria State Transport Councilor: The Ennstalbahn is an essential mobility artery that is becoming increasingly important. The renovation of the Haus station makes public transport even more attractive. I am pleased about its completion on schedule and that investments are being made here in modern and sustainable infrastructure.
Matthias Schwab, mayor of the market town of Haus: By modernizing our train station, we are taking an important step into the future. The new train station, including the park and ride area, is now fit for the future and will be a modern contact point for commuters and travelers - a great added value for our community.
After the new Huttau station, Haus station is the second station completed as part of the modernization of the Ennstalbahn. In addition to further station renovations, several railway crossings will be abandoned or redesigned over the next few years and the conditions for automated operations management will be created. For this purpose, necessary structural engineering facilities will also be built and additional P+R facilities will be expanded. In this way, the railway line will not only be more comfortable and safer, but also more efficient and fit for the future.
