Berlin S‑Bahn Rolls Out New Northeast Shutdowns as Nordkreuz Signal Box Enters Service

Commissioning of the Nordkreuz signal box is disrupting the Ring–North–South junction.

Overview

  • S8 service is suspended between Pankow and Hohen Neuendorf through 5 September with replacement buses, and passengers are advised to use the S1 between Bornholmer Straße and Hohen Neuendorf.
  • S26 does not run between Pankow and Karow until 5 September, with barrier‑free bus replacement operating on the corridor.
  • S2 is halted between Blankenfelde and Mahlow until 22 September due to separate construction work, with buses substituting throughout.
  • The northern Ringbahn remains closed between Gesundbrunnen and Greifswalder Straße until 8 September, and full replacement bus coverage on the segment was restored from Monday night.
  • The S‑Bahn cites ongoing signal‑technology faults for recent cancellations and delays, and officials reported after a crisis meeting that near‑term improvement is not expected.
