Dortmund Central Station has been closed to train traffic since early Saturday morning due to bad weather. The signal box failed because water entered after a storm, said a spokesman for Deutsche Bahn (DB). Since around 3:30 am, no train has been able to enter the station. The interruption is expected to last until late afternoon. There are significant delays and interruptions.
Long-distance traffic will be diverted. Regional trains are also diverted or return shortly before the main station, he said. According to the database, he is working on configuring the replacement traffic. Passengers were asked to find out more on the internet or through the DB app before starting their journey.
