Overview
- Service on the S41/S42 has restarted, but trains do not stop at S‑Bahnhof Wedding, where a platform fire broke out on New Year’s.
- Bus shuttles continue between Gesundbrunnen and Westhafen every 10 minutes to maintain access to Wedding station.
- Engineers are partially dismantling the platform roof and conducting a statics inspection before the station can reopen to passengers.
- Deutsche Bahn and the federal police are investigating on suspicion of negligent arson, with fireworks not yet confirmed as the cause; damage is estimated in the six‑figure range.
- Separately on the U9, limited service extends to Friedrich‑Wilhelm‑Platz from January 5 with a shuttle to Walther‑Schreiber‑Platz, and the prior bus replacement ends.
