Massive S-Bahn failures in Berlin: Replacement traffic from Wednesday morning!

Massive S-Bahn failures in Berlin: Replacement traffic from Wednesday morning!

On Wednesday morning, July 16, 2025, Berlin commuters can adapt to some unpleasant surprises in S-Bahn traffic. Due to a short -term loss of personnel in the signal box in Schöneweide, there will be considerable interruptions on several lines. The lines S45, S46, S47, S8, S85 and S9 are affected, and the restrictions are expected to last between 8 a.m. and probably 12 p.m. reported.

The exact details show that there will be no train traffic between the tree nursery path and Altglienicke on the S45, while the S46 between the Baumschulenweg and Grünau will also fail. The S8 and S85 have set their connection between Ostkreuz and Grünau, and the S9 will not drive between Treptower Park and Altglienicke. To make matters worse, the S47 is completely canceled. This means that many passengers are dependent on alternative means of transport in order to get their goal in good time.

To cushion the consequences of the disorders, replacement traffic is set up by bus. The buses of the lines S45 and S9 will run between tree nurseries and Altglienicke every 10 minutes. For the S46, S8 and S85, buses are also provided that run between Treptower Park and Grünau every 10 minutes. The S47 receives a bus replacement from Baumschulenweg to Spindlersfeld, which is traveling every 20 minutes.

• stops for replacement traffic are:
1. Treptower Park: Puschkinallee stop
2. Baumschulenweg: Baumschulenstraße
3. Schöneweide: BVG turning loop on the Sterandamm
4. Köpenicker Landstrasse (Plänterwald)
5. Schnellstraße (Oberspree)
6. Groß Berliner Damm (Johannisthal)

The S-Bahn Berlin has already apologized for the inconvenience that arises and assures that information about the disorders is continuously updated. T-online also comments on the effects of the massive restrictions and emphasizes the urgency of the problem.

For all those who rely on local public transport, it is to be hoped that the situation will be stabilized as soon as possible and that the usual comfort will soon return. The commitment of the S-Bahn to always try to accommodate passengers is put to the test, especially on a day that leads many people to work or to important appointments. This remains the question: How well can local transport score in such a situation?
