Train cancellations and subway restrictions: commuters in Munich affected!
In Munich, commuters can do without agile travel this week because the S-Bahn and subway have to contend with special restrictions. There will be numerous restrictions in the coming days, which will particularly affect commuters in the early hours of the morning.Mercury reports that…’); ?>
The problems for the S-Bahn begin on the night of November 11th to 12th and November 13th to 14th. Between 12:15 a.m. and 1:45 a.m. several trains are canceled, with lines S5 and S8 between Ostbahnhof and Pasing being particularly affected. The timetable foresees further tightening for the S-Bahn in the following week from November 16th to 21st. During this period, you have to expect numerous train cancellations, diversions, canceled stops, delays and track changes between 12:40 a.m. and 4:15 a.m. What follows is a real roller coaster ride for all night owls and early risers.
Subway and fire safety measures
But it's not just the S-Bahn that has to contend with restrictions. The subway also shows a tense side. Since November 9th, the U1 and U2 lines have only been running late every 20 minutes instead of every ten minutes as usual. The reason? Comprehensive fire protection measures that will last until March 2026.
Anyone who relies on the U2 will be out of luck for several weekends until the end of November, as the line is completely interrupted between the main station and Josephsplatz. Important stations such as Theresienstraße will then not be accessible. Commuters and travelers have to prepare for changes and adapt their routes accordingly.
Conclusion for Munich's commuters
Given these changes, it is advisable to think carefully about travel plans and possibly consider alternative transport options. Whether cycling or using a car sharing service - the time has come to show a good hand in planning your daily journeys. While Munich's traffic will remain tense for the next few days, it remains to be hoped that the necessary work will be carried out quickly and that usual mobility will return soon.
