The S1 is a railway service of the Vienna S-Bahn that operates between Marchegg and Wien Meidling. ÖBB operates the service.

History

The first plan for the Vienna S-Bahn was drafted in 1954, however due to

South station as the inaugural train departed to Gänserndorf. Austrian president Adolf Schärf, Vice Chancellor Bruno Pittermann, Mayor Franz Jonas, ÖBB president Maximilian Schantl and Transport Minister Karl Waldbrunner took part in the ceremony along with over 900 invited guests. Revenue service started at 23:45 that evening.^[1]

The S-Bahn was an instant success. Many trains were overcrowded through the city center paving way for an agreement with VOR, the regional public transport company, allowing passengers to use city trams and S-Bahn trains with the same ticket. Service frequency was originally every hour but due to heavy ridership, frequency was increased to every half-hour on 28 May 1967. The tracks north of the

park-and-ride facility was opened in Gänserndorf. Shortly after several more facilities were opened in other stations. On 23 May 1982 frequency was increased to Leopoldau to every 15 minutes in anticipation of the opening of the S2 line. Two new stations; Süßenbrunn and Helmahof were opened in 1980 and 1984 respectively. When the U1 line of the Vienna U-Bahn

was completed to Leopoldau, a connection was built from the U-Bahn station to the S-Bahn station.

The S1 was extended from Gänserndorf to Marchegg in December 2020, following the electrification of the Gänserndorf–Marchegg railway line.^[2]
