📋 Tender Overview
From September 8 to October 6, 2025, the Ennstalbahn between Bischofshofen and Selzthal is closed. There are no trains during this time; Instead, comprehensive rail replacement (SEV) with coordinated connections is offered. So that all passengers get to their goal reliably during the construction work, the OBB provide extensive information and additional services.
Local transport - reliable connections despite the lock
Instead of the trains, buses run on the routes between Bischofshofen or Schladming and Stainach-Endning. These leave around 30 to 40 minutes earlier so that the connections in Stainach-Indning are safely reached towards St. Michael. In the opposite direction, the journey time is extended by about 30 minutes.
In addition, a shuttle bus runs between stone on the Enns and Grobming, which is directly connected to the rail replacement traffic.
For students: there are their own solutions inside:
A direct bus in the morning from Schladming to Stainach-Indning is waiting for the Rohrmoos and Ramsau regio buses, so that the train connections can be reached in good time.
For passengers from the Solktal, an SEV bus from Liezen to Rottenmann is extended to ensure a secure way to school here too.
Long -distance transport - coordinated replacement traffic
Several additional offers are available in long-distance transport: buses in rail replacement combine stainach-groundning with Bischofshofen, direct buses run between the Radstadt and Bischofshofen. In addition, wearers and feeder buses drive between Radstadt, Schladming and Bischofshofen.
A changed timetable applies between Graz Hbf and Stainach-Indning: departure in Graz 20 minutes earlier, arrival in Graz 20 minutes later. In addition, additional buses run between Leoben and Radstadt, which ensure the connection to the railjet connections.
So that passengers are well informed
As the largest provider of public transport in Styria, it is our task that all travelers - whether commuters: inside, students: inside or occasional travelers - also reach their destination reliably during routes. With coordinated replacement reversals, additional student and pendulum buses as well as updated timetable information, we are trying that you can plan your trip well.
