Overview

  • The lower level of Berlin Hauptbahnhof is now fully operational with all eight tracks back in service as of April 22, 2025.
  • The two-month project included installing additional switches and train detection signals to modernize the infrastructure.
  • During construction, service was limited to four tracks, with full closures on one March weekend and over the Easter weekend.
  • The upgrades enable trains to switch to adjacent tracks when one is occupied and allow two trains to use the same platform sequentially.
  • Deutsche Bahn confirmed the work was completed on schedule, as part of a broader effort to improve rail infrastructure and accommodate growing passenger demand.
