Panic broke out on a train which had been stuck in Austria for several hours with no power.

The train was running from Zurich to Vienna. But shortly after leaving the station in Linz, it came to a stop. 

As there was no power – the doors wouldn’t open and the air conditioning shut down.

The train was stuck for more than four hours and the passengers started to stress. Three people were injured and had to be taken to hospital. The fire brigade had to move in to get into the carriages. 

Eventually the passengers were moved onto another train and were able to continue their journey.
