ÖBB-Technische Services has broken ground on a new service hall in Raimundstrasse in Linz, where electric multiple units for long-distance and regional services will be maintained in future, including the new Cityjet M for Upper Austria. The hall, with a green roof and an area of about 11,000 m², accommodates seven trains on five tracks and is financed by ÖBB-Personenverkehr AG. More than EUR 100 million is being invested, 110 additional people will work at the new site, and commissioning is planned for mid-2028. The date is the day of the report; the article does not give the exact date of the groundbreaking. (LOK Report, 27 May 2026)
