- Major criticalities on SZCZ network, in particular in the Ostrava region: Traffic to Austria and Poland is interrupted. Currently, the main line Hranice na Moravě – Studénka – Ostrava – Bohumín – Dětmarovice is closed because of flood. Part of this line is still under water, so it is still impossible to estimate when it is going to be opened for traffic again. As a consequence, now it is impossible to manage the transit traffic from Austria to Poland and unfortunately, currently, there is no re-routing option for this traffic. Transit trains to Austria and Italy are not operated. There are only two operational border-crossings to Poland, Petrovice/Zebrzyodowice (accessible only from Dětmarovice and from Slovak side only) and Lichkov/Miedzylesie (not accessible from Polish side).
For traffic to Slovakia from the Chech network, the border point in Cadca is operational.
- ÖBB-I network: As of 11 September, major problems have occurred with snow and floods in particular on the West line, direction Wien-Pölten – Linz- Salzburg. The New West Line Tunnels are still under water with big damages. On the Old West line (same direction Wien- St.Pölten), there are still some mudflows and only single track is operational, therefore, freight trains run only in the night or are rerouted via the south line.
We will keep our stakeholders informed about the further proceedings.
