Austrian Federal Railway has problem with critical website
The Austrian Federal Railway seems to have a serious problem with an internet forum about the railway in Austria, which has many critical postings. Medias report that the employees of the Federal Railway have no internet connection anymore to this website.
The Austrian Federal Railway is known to react very sensitive about critical voices. Three years ago a boycott of advertisements to those newspapers was proclaimed, who dared to write negative articles about the railway in Austria.
The Austrian Federal Railway denies that the blocking of the internet forum has something to do with the content of this website. “We just don’t want our employees to spend their time on this website during their working hours”, declares a spokesman of the Austrian railway.
The controversial internet forum called “bahnforum.info” is very successful. The visitor can find a lot of interesting postings about the Austrian railway. Many of the postings prove good insider information. The majority of the postings are quite critical towards the Austrian Federal Railway.
