Good news for public transport users in Vienna: The partial closure of the U1 subway line has been lifted.

After the fire in the Vienna U1, the subway line is back in normal operation. "The U1 line is now continuously in operation between Leopoldau and Oberlaa for you. We thank you for your patience and wish you a good journey!", the Vienna lines informed the APA on Friday morning. The fire had broken out in the middle of a special train with six carriages - without passengers - at the beginning of last week.

No More Partial Closure of Vienna U1

The train had come to a stop burning in the tunnel between the Taubstummengasse and Südtiroler Platz/Hauptbahnhof stations. Since then, there had been restricted operation. The subway was only in operation between Oberlaa and Reumannplatz as well as between Schwedenplatz and Leopoldau. The stations from Keplerplatz to Stephansplatz were not served.
