Train Services Resume After Security Alerts at Two German Stations

Temporary closures at Ludwigshafen and Mainz stations were lifted after unattended luggage was deemed safe.

  • An unattended suitcase at Ludwigshafen Hauptbahnhof led to a temporary halt of train services on platforms 1 and 2.
  • The suitcase's owner returned and identified the luggage, allowing services to resume with only minor delays affecting five trains.
  • In a separate incident, an unattended backpack at Mainz Hauptbahnhof prompted the closure of platforms 4 and 5.
  • A police search, including a sniffer dog, found no explosives in the Mainz backpack, which contained only everyday items.
  • Both incidents caused brief disruptions during morning peak hours but were resolved without significant impact on train schedules.
