Skipping Stops: ICE Trains Whiz Past Schwaben Station, Leaving Commuters Behind
Train Conductor Overshoots Stop in Swabia - Train Operators Overlook Train Stop in Swabia
Hey there! Ever found yourself at the train station, waiting for the ICE to arrive, only for it to zoom past like a flash? Well, that's exactly what's happening in Schwaben!
Recently, ICE train drivers have reportedly been whizzing through Schwaben's Guenzburg station without stopping, leaving passengers high and dry. According to the Augsburger Allgemeine news outlet, passengers have been left scratching their heads, unable to board or disembark at the scheduled stop.
Deutsche Bahn, Germany's railway company, confessed to an incident on Thursday. ICE 991, travelling from Wiesbaden to Munich via Stuttgart, overshot the Guenzburg station by mistake. A spokesperson for DB apologized for any inconvenience caused and claimed this is an extraordinarily rare occurrence.
If you were affected by this mishap, fret not! Passengers can still apply for compensation, but the DB spokesperson didn't have any updates on a similar incident a few days prior, as reported by the newspaper.
So, what's the deal with these train drivers? Are they just forgetful or what? Well, train drivers navigating the ICE route between Augsburg and Ulm don't always receive a "red" signal to stop at Guenzburg. The train driver's display shows the schedule, signaling where they should stop. But, there's no blaring, stop-at-all-costs, red signal on the tracks.
