Linz railway station voted best in Austria

By David Rogers

Linz railway station is the best in Austria, a new poll has shown.

It is the fifth year in a row that the station has taken the top vote in The Austrian Traffic Club (VCÖ) annual survey.

The group said today (Thurs) the 16,933 railway passengers asked about cleanliness, information availability, facilities and personnel at stations had put Graz station second, Innsbruck third and Klagenfurt and the northern railway station in Vienna, fourth and fifth respectively.

Vienna’s southern railway station is the worst in Austria, with those in St. Pölten and Salzburg, Vienna’s western station and one in Attnang-Puchheim also in the bottom five.

Overall, in terms of school marks, the passengers gave Austrian railway stations a mark of 2.3 on a scale ranging from 1, the best, to 5, the worst.

VCÖ’s guidelines for "the ideal train station" include good access by public transport, sufficient bicycle parking, a well-arranged structure, brightness and cleanliness.
