The Badner Bahn or Wiener Lokalbahn is a tram-train service in the metropolitan area of Vienna. It runs for Script error: No such module "convert". between Vienna and Baden, and is operated by the Wiener Lokalbahnen Aktiengesellschaft. The entire Badner Bahn is part of the Template:Interlanguage link and is one of the most important passenger services owned by WLB.[1] In 2013, 35,000 passengers per day used the service.[2]

Route

Starting from the Vienna State Opera, the service uses the tracks of Vienna's tram network as far as the Schedifkaplatz tram stop in the Meidling district, including parts of a tram tunnel. From Schedifkaplatz to Leesdorf in Baden and between Leesdorf and Josefsplatz, the train service has its own infrastructure, Script error: No such module "convert". of double-track light rail and Script error: No such module "convert". of tram line, respectively. These tracks are owned and maintained by Wiener Lokalbahnen.[3]

Since 14 December 2014, there is a new train station at the state clinical center (Template:Langx) in Baden. Despite its addition to the route, the length of a journey could be kept at 62 minutes.[4]

From April until November 2024, trains will be diverted from their normal northern terminus due to construction. During this time, trains end at Quartier Belvedere station, near Wien Hauptbahnhof.[5]

Rolling stock

Original 26 class 100 high-floor units built between 1979 and 1993 by Simmering-Graz-Pauker served the line. In order to provide headways of 7.5 minutes 14 low-floor class 400 units were ordered from Bombardier, they were produced from 2000 to 2010 and put in operation as double-unit trains with a class 100 units to provide accessibility.[6] In December 2018 Wiener Lokalbahnen presented the new class 500 Flexity trams designed by Bombardier Transportation (now part of Alstom), 18 trains were ordered with an option for 16 more,[7] 12 of those were taken in 2023. The new trams will replace all class 100 units of which only 10 are still in service.[8]
