Due to the big rush to the railway station following the fireworks display, we will continue to deploy more security forces and police around the station. They will regulate the flow of people on the platform.
Please follow their announcements – it primarily serves your safety.

Your travels can also be more relaxed if, instead of leaving right after the fireworks, you visit our Wine Festival and take one of the later trains.
