The S2 is also affected: It is being rerouted and runs from Riem via the Ostbahnhof (track 7-13, long-distance train) to Obermenzing. The main route is not served, so there are no stops at Leuchtenbergring and Berg am Laim. However, the S2 runs on the regular route between Obermenzing, Ostbahnhof and Riem with all planned stops.

Alternative connections

There are some alternatives for travelers commuting between the stops mentioned. The lines S4, S6 and S8 are in use between Ostbahnhof and Leuchtenbergring as well as Ostbahnhof and Berg am Laim.
