Again, an ICE train from Deutsche Bahn had to be cleared due to a defective air conditioning system.
This time it hit the ICE 2244 from Berlin Ostbahnhof to Münster. On Wednesday afternoon, the train stopped about 100 meters in front of Wustermark station (Havelland district). In a place where there was no platform.

About 150 passengers had to leave the train there. The travelers had to go to the train station with their luggage across tracks and meadows.
Another Intercity coming from the opposite direction also stopped in Wustermark, picked up the stranded passengers and then brought them back to Berlin.
