S-Bahn Service in Hannover Restored After Week-Long Disruptions

A signal and track switch malfunction caused significant delays and cancellations, but normal operations have resumed.

  • The S-Bahn in Hannover faced major disruptions due to a signal and track switch issue near Linden-Fischerhof station, impacting multiple lines since last week.
  • Lines S21 and S51 were entirely suspended, while the S1 and S5 operated with limited service during the disruption.
  • Bus replacements were arranged for affected routes, particularly between Hannover-Linden/Fischerhof and Weetzen, to accommodate passengers.
  • The malfunction was resolved by Monday evening, with the operator, Transdev, confirming the return to normal schedules.
  • Ongoing construction at Linden-Fischerhof station may still cause localized service changes, though the broader network is now operational.
