Overview
- Deutsche Bahn, which posted on Friday that Nuremberg’s main station was closed for a police operation, later acknowledged the alert was wrong.
- Police in Middle Franconia said they had no incident at the station, and the federal police reported none as well.
- About 30 minutes after the first post, the railway stated the supposed operation had ended and trains had resumed, though there had been no operation to begin with.
- A company spokesperson said the source of the false alarm was unknown, following a separate mistaken DB Regio Bayern post two days earlier about an emergency doctor on the tracks.
- Nuremberg Central Station sits on the busy Munich‑to‑north trunk line and anchors regional traffic, so bad alerts can confuse large numbers of passengers even when service continues.
