Why alcohol has been banned at all train stations in Germany

• Germany 's national railway operator, Deutsche Bahn , is implementing a nationwide ban on alcohol consumption at all its train stations.
• The ban will cover all 5,400 stations across the country and is set to be fully in effect by 15 October.
• The measure aims to enhance safety for both employees and passengers, following observations of increased violence linked to alcohol.
• A recent incident where a drunk passenger allegedly assaulted a security staff member was cited as a reason for the decision.
• Passengers violating the ban face removal from stations, with repeat offenders potentially receiving permanent railway bans; however, alcohol consumption on board trains remains permitted.
