The evacuations at Regensburg's central station were a result of emergencies caused by the flood. The unexpected situation led to cancellations of several railroad routes in Bavaria's OBERPFALZ region. The eviction from heavily crowded trains was necessitated by the failure to accommodate all passengers safely. During the storm, the police played a crucial role in ensuring the safety of passengers, saving a total of 360 individuals. Despite the chaos, some passengers were able to continue their journeys on unaffected railroad lines. The weather conditions in Regensburg had caused significant disruptions, but the city and its central station would require extensive repairs to fully restore service.
