Abstract:
Vienna Central Station, also known as Wien Hauptbahnhof (Vienna Main Train Station), is the largest railway station under construction in Vienna, Austria. It replaces the old Südbahnhof terminal station. The station will link four major railway lines which meet at Vienna from four directions. It will offer significantly improved connectivity across nations and will also provide access to the Vienna S-Bahn, tramway and bus lines. The new station will be used by 120,000 passengers and up to 1,000 trains each day by 2025. The station has been partially opened in December 2012 and by 2015 full operations will begin. Vienna Central Station is far more than just a train station: it is the core of an urban development area and hence acts as an important driving force for its adjacent districts and neighbourhood.
