The Krems station on the Danube is a transit station and railway junction in the Lower Austrian Central Region. It is the end point of an electrified junction of the Franz-Josefs-Bahn (opened in 1872, electrified in 1982) and the starting point for the non-electrified routes to St. Pölten Hauptbahnhof (opened in 1879) and the Wachau ( Donauuferbahn ; opened in 1909). On the eastern Danube shore line, however, only seasonal nostalgic trains run in the summer half-year, scheduled passenger and freight train traffic no longer takes place in the Krems – Sarmingstein section. It is one of the western border points of the VOR ( Verkehrsverbund Ost-Region ).
The station has a multi-storey car park with free parking spaces ( Park & Ride ) and there are also covered bicycle parking spaces.

modification
The station was rebuilt as part of the station offensive by around 2.7 million euros. The station concourse has been renovated and the ticket office has been replaced by a travel center. The house platform (platforms 1, 11 and 21) received a new roof and was repaved. Two elevators were installed to enable barrier-free access to all platforms and the parking deck. The forecourt was redesigned by the city of Krems together with the bus station. The new station was opened in September 2004.
