- In a YouTube video, DB says the massive underground structure will take on the temperature of the surrounding ground.
- It also points to Stuttgart’s lowest point, cooling wind in the basin, and cool air that arriving trains are expected to carry into the hall.
- According to dpa, a DB spokesperson says the three- to nine-kilometre-long tunnels, up to 220 metres deep, cool the new hall, whereas the nearby S-Bahn station does not benefit because it lies close to the portal.
- The opening of the underground station was postponed to December 2031, while it remains uncertain whether that date will be met.
“As a result, the components take on the temperature of the subsoil, and the massive structure, in combination with being embedded in the earth, causes the temperatures inside to remain relatively constant.”— René Krull, Head of Technical Project Management for the DB Stuttgart–Ulm project, explains in the video

- A new funding agreement between the federal government and Deutsche Bahn is intended to set the billions allocated to rail infrastructure and link those funds to requirements.
- Transport Minister Steffen Bilger said missed federal targets should affect railway managers’ bonuses, citing the punctuality crisis and criticism of million-euro payments.
- Karl-Peter Naumann, honorary chairman of the passenger association Pro Bahn, welcomed the plan but also called for sufficient federal funding and oversight of its targeted use.
- Julia Verlinden pointed to decades of insufficient federal investment as the main cause of delays and train cancellations, while Isabell Cademartori welcomed the initiative and expected record investments to be reflected in punctuality.
It will have a concrete impact on the bonus payments of railway managers if the targets set by the government are not met. I believe that rail customers and taxpayers have a right to see that the success is truly measured.— Steffen Bilger, Federal Minister for Transport, in an interview with Bild am Sonntag
