Munich S‑Bahn Core Reopens After Midday Repair as Berlin Schedules Short‑Notice Line Splits

Operators cite urgent works, warning of patchy journey‑planner updates.

Overview

  • Munich’s Stammstrecke was closed between Hackerbrücke and Isartor shortly before 12:00 for repair work and reopened shortly before 14:00, forcing temporary diversions off the core tunnel.
  • Deutsche Bahn reported impacts across lines S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6 and S8 and cautioned of delays and reroutings during recovery.
  • An afternoon update said most Munich services returned to normal routing with residual delays, while disruptions on S1 and S5 persisted longer.
  • S‑Bahn Berlin announced short‑notice construction on Wednesday from 10:00 to 14:00 splitting and shortening five lines, including S9 limited to OstbahnhofFriedrichstraße every 20 minutes, split operations on S3 and S7, and shortened S5 and S75.
  • Berlin passengers were told the measures may not appear in the journey planner and to use regional alternatives where available, including RE1, RE2, RE7, RE8 and RB23, while Munich flagged recurring night works through October.
