Route and stations

From 12 April 2005, the following note applies "Dieser Zug wird auf diesem Abschnitt im Schienenersatzverkehr mit Autobussen geführt." - "This trains service has been substituted by an bus". There are therefore NO passenger train services along the branch (source www.oebb.at). ÖBB have indicated that they wish to cease running the service, and Stern und Hafferl have expressed interest in taking over the sunning of the line, and reintroducing freight services. (source www.stern-verkehr.at)
