Chaos at Dresden Central Station: Hundreds of travelers stranded!

hundreds of travelers are currently sitting at the Dresden main station, where an unexpected chaos has taken place. According to a spokesman for the federal police, around 500 people who are waiting for buses from the Czech Republic are affected. Due to a tunnel closure, these buses could not continue on the A17 and are stuck in traffic jams. The situation has proven to be particularly challenging because train traffic was temporarily paralyzed. The travelers are waiting for buses that had been requested for a scheduled construction site between Děčín and Dresden, reports the MDR .

However, the circumstances led to a short -term chaos at the main train station. At first, travelers could not continue traveling, which caused the police to move up to defuse the situation. As a precaution, the Strehlener Straße next to the train station was closed to ensure a smooth process. Deutsche Bahn has already organized replacement buses to transport the passengers concerned after the fault. The emergency services were also in use and looked after several people who had been in difficulty due to the high temperatures. Water was distributed to the waiting travelers to alleviate the emergency a little, such as Dresdner-hauptbahnhof-war-da-or

Waiting for the train to Prague

The railway construction site was finally ended at 7 p.m. A train that is ready should start in the evening towards Prague. However, it is still unclear when the train leaves and whether all stranded travelers can ride. The situation remains tense and the travelers are still waiting for clarity. All options are checked by the authorities to forward those affected as quickly as possible.

At the moment, train traffic will be resumed around 9 p.m. Nevertheless, the location remains critical because hundreds of travelers hope for a solution. The quick reaction of the emergency services and the police show that the responsible bodies take the situation seriously and endeavor to help travelers.
