I’ve never seen smth like that. I would just get off the train, what do they want to do?
But honestly? Maybe don’t listen to rebellious me.
They want to reduce the number of people using this train to go from Hbf to Dammtor. If you search for a connection between those two stations, this connection will not show up. Also, if you have a ticket that is normally valid for travel between those two students but does not cover the next stop, it probably will not be accepted on this connection.
We also have a similar situation in Munich, but no one really checks these things or cares, so realistically nothing will happen.
It’s another one for the collection “designed by an engineer”. The main reason some stops are marked “enter only” or “exit only” is to prevent those long-distance connections from showing up in route planners when someone searches trips within the same city and generally to optimise traffic patterns.
You could book an ICE ticket from Hamburg to Berlin and then just ride a stop inside Hamburg and then get off at the next stop inside Hamburg. It’s a waste of your money, but you can do it. What they are trying to make sure is that you cannot book an ICE starting and ending inside Hamburg.
Because there is no point in using this ICE to travel from HBF to Dammtor. You could, but it might cause delays (people who want to enter have to wait on exiting passengers). That’s why it is not allowed. There is a local train every two minutes people can use instead.
First time seeming this, though. Usually it’s “exit only” for when the train does an unplanned additional stop (e.g. for passengers from a former cancelled train).
