Construction work in S-Bahn transport: Five lines affected, replacement buses everywhere!
The S-Bahn in Berlin is currently facing major challenges. How berlin-live.de reported, extensive construction work will take place in the area of the Schöneweide S-Bahn station from Friday, July 4th, at 9:45 p.m. to Monday, July 7th, at 1:30 a.m. A new electronic signal box is being installed there, which means major restrictions for commuters. In addition, as part of these measures, train traffic between Schöneweide and Grünau as well as Grünbergallee will be completely interrupted.
I can imagine that many passengers are already getting nervous. The S-Bahn lines affected by the construction work are the S45, S46, S8, S85 and S9. Anyone traveling on these lines should prepare well and check the necessary alternative routes in the S-Bahn app or on the notices in the train stations. Berlin COURIER also emphasizes that there will be replacement buses during this time to compensate for traffic bottlenecks.
Replacement bus service and stops
The replacement traffic is planned for the S46 and S9. The S46 buses run between Schöneweide and Grünau with stops at Sterndamm, Wagner-Régeny-Allee in Johannisthal, Rudower Chaussee in Adlershof and Richterstraße in Grünau. For the S9, however, there are similar stops, with additional stops at Ewaldstrasse, Altglienicke and Grünbergerallee.
In order to keep the best overview these days, there is the S-Bahn Berlin On the way there is a note that tickets for the replacement buses must be purchased before the journey, as there are no tickets for sale on the buses.
Additional restrictions and events
The construction sites not only cause a backlog in S-Bahn traffic. As also in the report by Berlin COURIER mentioned, there are currently significant delays on the S41 and S42 lines due to high passenger numbers, including due to a major event. The S45 is also temporarily out of service due to staff shortages. Commuters are encouraged to use other lines such as the S46.
If you want to travel to the region around BER Airport, you also have to be prepared for some restrictions. The airport can only be reached to a limited extent by S-Bahn until November, which also makes replacement bus services between Schöneweide and BER more complicated.
Like a good neighbor who always has an open ear, the employees of the S-Bahn Berlin are required to provide all passengers with the best possible information. It's best to regularly find out about the current timetables - this way you can always keep your finger on the pulse of what's happening.
