Germany: Munich Central Station temporarily closed Feb. 21

Event

Authorities have temporarily halted all rail services at Munich Central Station (Munich Hauptbahnhof) the morning of Feb. 21. The cause of the disruptions is not entirely clear, but officials have stated that firefighting services are present on the tracks.

Officials have stated that they do not have a timeline for when services will resume; however, once they do resume, lingering disruptions are likely through Feb. 21 as officials clear the backlog of services and reposition rolling stock. Increased demand for other transport services in the area is likely.

Advice

Confirm rail schedules via Munich Central Station prior to departure. Plan alternative means of transport where necessary and allow extra time to reach destinations for the duration of the disruptions.
