Overview
- On Sunday at about 21:40, a Regionalexpress line 85 train from Schwerin to Berlin made an unscheduled stop in Neustrelitz after its onboard toilets failed.
- An Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn spokesperson confirmed that crew members agreed to the brief halt under mounting passenger pressure.
- Several travelers disembarked to find relief in adjacent bushes due to the lack of functional restroom facilities.
- The short interruption added roughly five minutes to the train’s journey before it resumed service.
- After the ad hoc stoppage, the Regionalexpress continued on toward Berlin without further reported issues.
