history

From Bratislava to Devínska Nová Ves there had been a railway connection as part of the route between Vienna and Bratislava since 1848 . The line from Devínska Nová Ves via Kúty to Skalica was opened by the Hungarian State Railways in 1891.

After the constitution of Czechoslovakia in 1918, the traffic connection between the two parts of Bohemia / Moravia and Slovakia was one of the most important tasks of the young state. The connection of the Slovak capital Bratislava to Brno and Prague was seen as one of the most important projects. By 1921, the Devínska Nová Ves – Kúty line, together with the subsequent local line to Břeclav, was expanded into a high-performance double-track main line.

In 1967 the line was electrified.

In Devínska Nová Ves there is now a terminal for combined traffic on the Austrian Eastern Railway, next to the border station for traffic to Austria .

The branch from Devinské Jazero to Stupava was closed in 2008 and was dismantled in May 2012.

In the next few years, the expansion of the line from Devínska Nová Ves to Kuty and on to the Czech border in the direction of Břeclav is planned for a line speed of 200 km / h, previously 140 km / h. The aim is to cut travel times between Prague and Budapest by 35 minutes by 2030. The renewal of the route is planned in three stages according to a tender: Devínska Nová Ves – Malacky (24.2 km), Malacky – Kúty (42.4 km) and Kúty – state border.
