U-train chaos in Munich: U6 temporarily closed after derailing!
On Thursday afternoon, June 12, 2025, an accident occurred at the Harras subway station, which led to considerable impairments on the U6 underground line. During a maneuvering, a subway train derailed at low speed. Fortunately, there were no passengers on the train, so there were no injuries. However, the accident led to damage to the track system and the power rail, which made extensive repair necessary. This reports tz.de.
As a result of the accident, the section between Partnachplatz and Implerstrasse is temporarily interrupted. Alternatively, rail replacement traffic is set up in the affected area. The U6 only drives in the pendulum: in the southern section between Großhadern Clinic and Partnachplatz and in the northern section between Garching Research Center and Implerstrasse. Passengers in the direction of Großhadern Clinic must also redirect to the Fürstenried West stop. The Munich Transport Society (MVG) estimates that the restrictions will continue until Friday, June 13th, at 11 p.m.
Details on the accident
The derailment occurred around 3:15 p.m. and was confirmed by a spokesman for the MVG. Although the tensile load was not exposed to passengers, the track was damaged. The exact cause of the derailment is currently being examined.
The Harras stop cannot be approached for the time being due to repair work. The MVG tries to inform the passengers about notices, tickers and announcements. In addition, current information is available on the MVGO website and in the app.
effects on subway traffic
The U3 subway line continues to drive regularly, but there may also be delays and occasional failures. In the Munich region, passengers are therefore encouraged to adjust to possible inconvenience. The U6 is also restricted in the north of the pine garden due to the end of July.
The MVG recommends using passengers alternative routes, for example the bus X30 for Harras or Bus 54 via Harras to the Partnachplatz. With the combination of existing construction work and the accident, a considerable pressure on Munich public transport is burdening, which is a challenge for many passengers. Current information about the situation obtains passengers about the aforementioned channels in order to be able to travel as planned.
