Construction work at the Ostbahnhof: S-Bahn traffic severely restricted!

The city of Munich is standing for S-Bahn traffic a tense time ago. As the Abendzeitung announces, Deutsche Bahn (db) announces extensive construction work, which from July 28, 2025 December 2025 will lead to restrictions on the S-Bahn line. This measure is part of a larger renovation program to improve the city's infrastructure by 2027.

During this time, only an S-Bahn line will run between Ostbahnhof and Pasing, and the S7 will be completely pulled out of circulation. In order to meet the needs of passengers, replacement traffic between the Ostbahnhof and Trudering is set up. This will certainly ensure some inconvenience, but the modernized track systems are a step in the right direction to increase the punctuality and reliability of the S-Bahn network.
