- The exercise on the ICE route between Nuremberg and Erfurt simulated a tunnel fire involving a train carrying 100 passengers.
- Ilm District Administrator Petra Enders said Deutsche Bahn’s internal reporting route and fax-based alerts between Thuringia’s control centers contributed to major delays.
- The train doors could not be opened from the outside, which Enders said cost time; other opening methods would have been used in a real emergency.
- According to Enders, a technical failure hindered communication with neighboring control centers, while two serious traffic accidents in Ilm District initially took priority and emergency crews were caught in traffic.
One cause is the internal reporting path of Deutsche Bahn, which in my view is far too long, as well as the alerting path within the Thuringian control centers via fax. I consider a fax no longer appropriate. There is an urgent need for action. We are living in the era of digitalization.— Petra Enders, nonpartisan district administrator of Ilm-Kreis, Thuringia, on delays and the use of fax for alerts during the drill
