Overview

• RB40 and RE4 regional trains are suspended until 15 September at 07:11 and replaced by defined bus services departing from Messestadt Ost Steig 5.
• Passengers are advised to use MVG U-Bahn line 2 between Messestadt Ost and München Ost or Hauptbahnhof to bypass affected sections.
• The closure concentrates extensive cabling, signal mounting and switch modifications into one prolonged shutdown to minimise future service disruptions.
• Direct buses between Dorfen and Messestadt Ost take about 45 minutes but require additional S-Bahn transfers for access to central Munich.
• Deutsche Bahn plans to commission electronic interlockings at Hörlkofen and Thann-Matzbach by the end of 2025, with a second stage and central control from Dorfen to follow.
