history
_Bahnhof_Wolkersdorf.jpg)
The Wolkersdorf station was opened on November 24, 1870 by the privileged Austro-Hungarian State Railroad Company when the Vienna – Laa an der Thaya – Brno railway was opened to traffic. The local hired coachmen and carters had enforced that the station was built far outside the market square, as they feared a shift of traffic to the railway. With the construction of the railway, Wolkersdorf experienced an initial phase of upswing. This is how the Bahnviertel came into being near the train station, which, in addition to railway workers and factory workers, also attracted civil servants, employees and private individuals from Vienna. Between 1869 and 1920 the number of houses in the place doubled.
The railway line was planned to be double-tracked from the start, but was then only made single-track on a double-track substructure. In 1909 the company was taken over by the kk Österreichische Staatsbahnen . The connection to Moravia has been interrupted since the end of the Second World War in 1945 . In 1983 the electrification of the Vienna – Mistelbach line was completed and the S2 line of the Vienna S-Bahn from Vienna to Wolkersdorf and Mistelbach was introduced with the construction of loop systems between the Laaer Ostbahn and the Nordbahn at the Süßenbrunn junction .
In 2005, the double-track expansion of the railway line between Gerasdorf near Vienna and Wolkersdorf was completed and a quarter-hour cycle was set up during rush hour between Vienna and Wolkersdorf train station. The Mistelbach – Laa an der Thaya route has also been electrified since 2006.
In 2012, the park-and-ride facility was expanded from 500 to 870 parking spaces, with an investment of 2.6 million euros. In November 2011, a temporary facility with 100 additional parking spaces was put into operation. In August 2012, rail operations were switched to right-hand traffic. The barrier-free renovation of the station started in September 2012. The platforms were raised, three lifts installed in the pedestrian tunnel and a guidance system for the blind installed. The completion took place in summer 2014.
After the full opening of the Vienna Central Station , there will be the possibility of running a new S-Bahn line from the Vienna Meidling station via Vienna Central Station and Vienna Stadlau to Wolkersdorf or Gänserndorf . The advantages would be faster access to the main station than via the main S-Bahn line and a connection to the 22nd district. The implementation of this timetable concept by ÖBB Personenverkehr AG depends on the financing from the service purchaser.
