Bomb Situation Leads to Closure of Exit at Two U12 Subway Stations

In Stuttgart, a bomb disposal operation is currently underway in Bad Cannstatt, causing disruptions to the city's public transportation network. The operation is focusing on an unexploded air bomb (Fliegerbombe) found in the area.

The Stuttgart public transport authority (VVS) has reported that the U12 line is partially suspended between Züricher Straße and Riethmüllerhaus stations due to the necessary safety precautions. As a result, these stations are not being served by the U12 line, and replacement bus services have been arranged to accommodate passengers traveling along this affected section.

Real-time data is being used to update a table showing the delays and cancellations on the S-Bahn lines every ten minutes. Trains on the U12 line are currently only stopping at Züricher Straße and Riethmüllerhaus stations for boarding, but passengers cannot exit at these stations due to the bomb disposal operation.

Residents in Bad Cannstatt can now return to their homes, but the public is asked to avoid the area widely due to the ongoing operation. Authorities are actively working to safely defuse and remove the unexploded ordnance, and the situation is being closely monitored.

Passengers are advised to check real-time updates through the VVS website or app for the most current information regarding service changes and expected resumption times. For those seeking alternative routes or further details, assistance is available.

It is worth noting that the S21 line, part of the Stuttgart network, is operating normally and is unaffected by the bomb disposal operation.

In a positive development, a bomb has been successfully defused in Bad Cannstatt, but the operation as a whole is still ongoing. The VVS will continue to provide updates as the situation develops. Stay informed and stay safe!
