Overview
- Trains on lines S1, S2, S25, S26 and S85 are running normally again between Gesundbrunnen and Nordbahnhof after repairs were completed earlier than expected on Wednesday morning.
- The disruption began Monday with widespread delays and cancellations, despite earlier estimates that full service would not return until late Wednesday or early Thursday.
- Investigators confirmed multiple signal cables had been cut and several meters of cable removed, with copper believed to be the target.
- The Bundespolizei is investigating unknown suspects on suspicion of particularly serious theft, treating the case as a criminal matter.
- During the outage, S‑Bahn operated a 20‑minute shuttle between Gesundbrunnen and Nordbahnhof and advised alternate U‑Bahn, tram and bus routes; a separate defect in Grünau briefly affected S46 and S8.
