Technical defect causes delays on the S 1 in Bavaria!

Commuters in Munich have to prepare for delays and restrictions on the S-Bahn line S 1 Moosach ↔ Feldmoching today, October 24, 2025. A technical defect at a level crossing causes delays of 10 to 15 minutes and some train connections are even partially canceled. This information was provided by news.de, and Deutsche Bahn has comprehensive advice published for the affected passengers.

Travelers have the option of changing to another route in the event of delays of at least 20 minutes, even with long-distance trains, provided that no reservation requirement or special trips are affected. This regulation is intended to particularly benefit commuters who rely on arriving on time.

Current traffic situation in Bavaria

The problems on the S 1 are not the only challenges that rail customers face in Bavaria. In addition to the delays on the S-Bahn, there are also disruptions on other regional and long-distance transport lines. According to bahndampf.de there are significant delays of up to 90 minutes in long-distance traffic between Stuttgart and Munich, among other things due to a staff shortage in the signal box in Plochingen. The stops in Ulm, Plochingen and other train stations are also affected.

But the situation is not only tense in Bavaria. There are also numerous reports of diversions and delays in other parts of Germany. On the Cologne – Frankfurt route there were delays of around 90 minutes due to vandalism damage, while on the connection between Marburg and Gießen damage to the overhead line caused delays of around 25 minutes.

Advice for travelers

For those who want to prepare for travel in the region, the platform db-fahrplan.com is a good place to start. Here, Usuarios can view current information about timetables and traffic disruptions and, if necessary, receive push notifications about delays. The interactive disruption map in particular provides a valuable overview of current traffic cancellations and route disruptions.

Important to know: If there are delays of more than 60 minutes, passengers are entitled to a refund of their ticket prices. For example, if you are more than two hours late, you can even claim 50 percent of the ticket price back. Such measures are particularly relevant in times like these, where delays are regularly expected.

Deutsche Bahn is in constant communication with travelers and keeps them informed about all developments. Let's hope that the situation stabilizes soon and the trains run on time again.
