Timetable chaos in Bavaria: S6 and S8 affected by delays!

Important information for all travelers in and around Munich: On August 14, 2025, due to unforeseen events, there will be timetable deviations for the S-Bahn S6 and S8. These changes have become necessary to provide medical care to a passenger. This reports news.de.

The exact timetable changes affect the routes between Pasing and Ostbahnhof as well as the Trudering stop. On the S6 there will be a diversion from Pasing, and the Leuchtenbergring and Berg am Laim stops will no longer be available. The S8 is also diverted, although the Leuchtenbergring stop is not reached. Affected travelers should know that the S6 runs on the regular route between Trudering and Ostbahnhof as well as Pasing and serves all planned stops. The same applies to the S8 between Daglfing, Ostbahnhof and Pasing.

Alternatives and further information

There are alternatives for travelers who wanted to use the Leuchtenbergring and Berg am Laim stops: The S2 and S4 offer connections between Ostbahnhof and these stops. If there are delays of at least 20 minutes, you are allowed to continue the journey on another route, even with long-distance trains that do not require a reservation.

The train radar from bahn.de displays current information about the delays. Delays of up to 30 minutes are also possible on lines S3, S4, S6 and S8. Travelers can find out more about local departure boards and use the interactive disruption map, which shows current traffic disruptions on the DB network.

Passenger rights and compensation

Passengers should also inform themselves about their rights in the event of delays. If you are delayed at your destination by 60 minutes, you are entitled to a refund of 25% of the ticket price, and even 100% if your trip is interrupted. For delays of 120 minutes, the refund increases to 50%. If there are delays of 20 minutes at the starting station, the train connection will be canceled, which allows for flexible travel arrangements. This also applies to season ticket holders, who can receive a refund of up to 5 euros per case of delay in 2nd class.

In addition, there is compensation for taxi and hotel costs in the event of long delays in the early hours of the morning. Further information about passenger rights can be found at bahndampf.de can be viewed, where the latest traffic reports are also published.
