Railway station St. Peter- Seitenstetten

In the district of Amstetten, in the west of the Lower Austrian Mostviertel, is the station St. Peter - Seitenstetten. In the waiting room of the central platform there is a ticket vending machine, which allows passengers to buy tickets around the clock. Furthermore, a publicly accessible WC was installed at the stop.

In the course of the extensive reconstruction in 2014, the entire station area was made barrier-free throughout. Two lifts were installed and the height of the platforms was adjusted to the level of the arriving trains, making it much easier for people in wheelchairs, parents with baby carriages and passengers with heavy luggage to get on and off the train.

The on-site Park & Ride facility has parking spaces for over 120 vehicles, making it much easier to switch from car to train. Space has been created for over 110 bicycles in the Bike & Ride Station.
