Overview

  • The Stammstrecke is fully closed from Friday evening to Monday morning for concentrated work on tracks, switches, and stations.
  • Replacement buses are running every ten minutes between Pasing and Hauptbahnhof, with additional U-Bahn and regional train options available.
  • Informational steles and QR codes have been installed at stations to guide passengers to replacement services.
  • High traffic volumes earlier in the week caused delays of five to ten minutes and sporadic train cancellations, particularly on Line S2.
  • Construction of the second Stammstrecke tunnel in Laim continues at full speed, aiming to expand capacity by 2035.
