Overview

  • Train services between Munich Hauptbahnhof and Holzkirchen were halted on June 28 after DB InfraGO found defects in over seven switches at Deisenhofen.
  • Bayerische Regionalbahn has established replacement buses and Großraumtaxis between Giesing and Holzkirchen and anticipates disruptions lasting until late July.
  • Fahrgastverband Pro Bahn labeled the incident a “Gau” and cautioned that summer commuters and vacationers could face severe travel challenges due to aging infrastructure.
  • On June 27, two suspects attacked a security guard at Westendbrücke before fleeing, leading to delays and cancellations on Berlin S-Bahn lines S41, S42 and S46.
  • Berlin S-Bahn’s newly announced short-notice nighttime maintenance on S3, S5, S7 and S9 will run from 21:20 to 01:30 over several nights.
