At a train station in Stade (Lower Saxony), a display board caused irritation. When a photo of it went online, thousands of users responded, making fun of Deutsche Bahn.
Stade – “There’s a train going to nowhere” – Christian Anders’ title from 1995 apparently also applies to a train station in Stade (Lower Saxony). There, a passer-by saw an extremely bizarre display board.
In the photo of a platform at the Stade railway station, which the portal Der Eisenbahner shared on Facebook, the blue display board on the platform clearly reads: “Train passage”. Curious: It is clearly a terminal station.
Network photo evokes associations: “Back to the future part 3”
“It’s possible,” Der Eisenbahner commented on the scenery. “But it will most likely end in a catastrophe.” The photo caused a lot of laughter among Facebook users. More than 12,200 people responded with a laugh emoji or a thumbs up (as of August 9), and more than 1,000 commented on the post.
There are some very creative associations under the comments. The situation shown reminds one user of “platform 9 3/4 to Hogwarts”, others assume “the flying train from ‘Back to the Future Part 3′”. Deutsche Bahn was also properly targeted. “The train can do everything,” writes one user. Another: “Nothing stops a DB train. Nothing, absolutely nothing – not even a buffer stop!”
Curious discoveries in local transport: a photo of a taximeter goes viral on Jodel
Similar to the Der Eisenbahner page, curious observations of local transport are also often shared on other platforms. A horrendous “Taxamater” ad recently caused confusion on Jodel. In any case, the case in Stade shows that you can’t always rely one hundred percent on scoreboards.
