More round trips on continental connections

ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) is expanding its TransNET between Western and South-Eastern Europe. As of now, TransFER Wels–Vienna–Budapest will be operated with three round trips per week.

RCG is expanding its intermodal network for continental flows of goods by increasing the number of round trips on two important routes. The aim is to improve the efficiency and flexibility of sustainable rail freight transport between Western and South-Eastern Europe and to meet growing customer demand for high-frequency direct connections with attractive transit times.

TransFER Wels–Vienna–Budapest

This connection forms a central axis between the economic centres of Western Europe and the markets of Southern and South-Eastern Europe with connections to Italy, Germany, Romania and Turkey. RCG has increased the number of weekly round trips from two to three. This allows RCG to offer an even more frequent direct connection from Wels and Vienna to the BILK terminal in Budapest and back, increasing transport capacity and flexibility for customers. The terminals in Vienna and Budapest serve as important hubs from which further TransFER connections can be combined for smooth and efficient onward transport.
