S-Bahn chaos: 25 minutes late for signal repair!

S-Bahn chaos: 25 minutes late for signal repair!

Currently there is delays of up to 25 minutes on the S-Bahn line between Erding and Riem. The main reason for this is a necessary repair at a signal in Markt Schwaben, as reported ed-live.de . The situation meets both commuters and travelers who are dependent on reliable connections towards the airport.

The S-Bahn Munich has been an important part of the Munich transport network since its introduction in 1972. It connects the state capital with the surrounding counties, including Erding, Dachau and Fürstenfeldbruck, and thus offers an important connection for thousands of passengers. It is interesting that two of a total of ten S-Bahn lines in a short clock sequence serve Munich Airport, as can also be read on muenchen.de

The main route and current construction work

The so-called "main route", which is known as a V-Bahn, extends over 11 kilometers between Pasing, the city center and the Ostbahnhof. This route was originally created for the 1972 Olympic Games and has played a central role in the Munich transport network since then. In addition, the construction work for the 2nd main route has been underway since 2017, which should help reduce traffic loads and enable faster connections. The construction work is expected to continue until 2028, as can be learned on the website for S-Bahn Munich

Currently there is also rail replacement traffic between the Ostbahnhof and Trudering, which also complicates the situation. S-Bahn lines S 1, S 2, S 3, S 4 and S 5 in particular are affected by the construction work and are restricted. For example, the trains of the S 1 start and end at the main train station, while the S 2 starts towards Erding at the Ostbahnhof and runs in Riem without a stop.

Important information for passengers

If you are on the S-Bahn, you should prepare for further restrictions. Trains in party situations and during the main traffic times could bring higher waiting times due to the construction-related diversions and rail replacement traffic. The currently defined construction work at the Ostbahnhof also affects regular operation. The train information is particularly important so that passengers do not have to wait unnecessarily.

• s 1: track 27-35 at the main train station
• s 2: trains towards Erding from Ostbahnhof
• s 4: Failures between Trudering and Pasing
• S 5: Connection interrupted between Giesing and Pasing

summarized the current situation in S-Bahn traffic is challenging, but the city does everything possible to fix the restrictions as soon as possible.
