Construction work on the S-Bahn: failures between Ostbahnhof and Pasing!

Construction work on the S-Bahn: failures between Ostbahnhof and Pasing!

The Bavarian capital has to adapt to some changes in S-Bahn traffic. Like Radio Gong reported from Saturday, July 12, 2025, from 10:00 p.m. to Monday, July 14, 2025, at 4:40 a.m., extensive construction work on the 2nd regular route in Laim. This has a direct impact on S-Bahn traffic around Munich, especially between the Ostbahnhof and Pasing. On the occasion of the construction work, there will be diversions, defaults, and changes to the scheduled starting and endpoints.

What exactly can passengers expect these days? The official traffic plan of the S-Bahn Munich has already emerged some details that show how profound the changes are. The S-Bahn Munich announces that the trains of S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7 and S8 will be particularly affected. The exact timetables vary so that passengers should look closely so as not to sit in the wrong train.

affected lines and changes

we start with the trains of the S1. These drive from the main train station (track 20-26) and have no stop to Moosach. There will also be changes in the S2. The trains towards Erding start at the Ostbahnhof and have no stop to Riem on the way. The S3 is also restricted by ending trains towards Holzkirchen in Giesing.

• S1 (Freising/Airport): from the main train station (track 20-26), without stopping to Moosach.
• S2 (Erding): from Ostbahnhof, without stop until Riem.
• S3 (Holzkirchen): End station Giesing, while Mammendorf ends in Pasing.
• S4: Failures between Trudering and Pasing.
• S5: Trains towards Kreuzstraße end in Giesing, failures between Giesing and Pasing.
• S6: trains towards Ebersberg start in Trudering, rail replacement traffic to the Ostbahnhof.
• S7: continues to drive between the main train station and Wolfratshausen.
• S8: trains to Herrsching end in Pasing.

like Bahnblogstelle , these are not the only planned restrictions. Even during the summer vacation, the S-Bahn system will be noticeably out of time. Deutsche Bahn uses summer time, in which fewer passengers are traveling to carry out extensive construction work. For example, there will be no train between the Isartor and Ostbahnhof between 14 and 19 August, and the Ostbahnhof is only approached by line S2.

replacement traffic and long -term improvements

In order to mitigate the impairments for the passengers, replacement traffic is set up by bus, especially between Isartor and Johanneskirchen. However, these measures are necessary to improve the S-Bahn connection in the long term and minimize future delays. The new electronic signal box at the Ostbahnhof is introduced to make the operation more efficient.

passengers are therefore well advised to regularly find out about the current information about the timetables on the S-Bahn websites. With a little patience and the right planning, the Munichers will get through this construction phase despite the restrictions. Because it is clear: when everything is complete, the S-Bahn network will be optimized and upgraded a little further.
