VIENNA (Reuters) -Police evacuated Vienna's main train station on Monday over an unspecified threat, halting rail traffic before giving the all clear around 90 minutes later, but national rail company OBB warned continued delays and cancellations were expected.

While the police did not describe the threat, some Austrian media said it was a bomb threat. Austria suffered a series of empty bomb threats last year that prompted the clearing of larger stations, causing delays to train traffic.
