Railroad - Tarpaulin affects train services around Stuttgart

A tarpaulin has caused delays and detour in train traffic around Stuttgart. The tarpaulin was blown in front of an S-Bahn train in a tunnel between the Feuerbach district and the main station, a spokeswoman for the Federal Police said on Tuesday. The area was subsequently closed. It was initially assumed that a person had been hit by the train. Fortunately, this was not confirmed. However, a passenger on the S-Bahn subsequently required medical assistance.

After the incident on Tuesday morning, the Stuttgart S-Bahn announced on X that there had been timetable deviations on several lines. According to the Federal Police, local and long-distance Deutsche Bahn trains were also diverted. The closure lasted a good hour. Further details - such as the cause of the incident - were not initially known.
