Summary created with AI assistance · Source: swr.de
- A Flixtrain derailed during shunting at Stuttgart main station, blocking several tracks and causing delays.
- Tracks eight to eleven were unusable from the south and Bad Cannstatt, while northern routes remained unaffected.
- The derailment may have been caused by a missed signal, with Flixtrain and Deutsche Bahn jointly investigating the incident.
- The ongoing Stuttgart 21 project, now set to open in December 2031, means the aging terminus station will stay operational until mid-2032.
