delays and traffic situation at the main train station

On Tuesday afternoon, shortly before the accident, there was already a full closure of the train station, which lasted from 12:32 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. As the spokesman for the federal police announced, this state was also due to an accident, which resulted in the fact that both long-distance and local transport was temporarily paralyzed. Trains could not drive in or extend during this period.

After the blocking was lifted, travelers had to expect delays, since several platforms initially remained closed. The railway spokesman made it clear that it would take some time for all trains to drive again on time after the police ended their work around 3 p.m. So travelers must expect delays until the situation at the main train station has normalized again, so reports tag24.de.
