S-Bahn chaos in Erding: up to 10 minutes delay through construction work!

in the Erding district, more precisely in Ottenhofen, passengers of the S-Bahn (line S2) have to expect some inconvenience today. Due to repair work on the route, delays of up to 10 minutes and even partial failures of the trains can be expected. This reports Ed live .

These impairments are part of a more comprehensive change that the Deutsche Bahn (DB) carries out during the Pentecost holidays in 2025. As part of this work, a new electronic signal box (ESTW) is put into operation at the Munich Ostbahnhof. The changeover takes place in three phases, all of which are associated with various restrictions in S-Bahn traffic, such as mUenchen.de

operating phases and their effects

In the first phase that started on June 6, the tracks in the area of ​​the Ostbahnhof are not navigable. This phase lasts until June 18 and makes very precise coordination necessary. The affected routes include the connections from Ostbahnhof to Isartor as well as in the districts of Giesing, Riem, Johanneskirchen and Trudering. For commuters, this means: Replacement buses run regularly, sometimes every 5 minutes, with buses playing a central role between Isartor and Ostbahnhof.

In the second phase, which lasts from June 7th to 13th, there is a similar location. The S-Bahn tracks are still closed and the lines sometimes show significant restrictions. In particular, the morning express traffic of Erding will be affected, which can lead to challenges, especially for commuters and students.

information and outlook

Of course, these changes are not only important in Munich. Throughout the S-Bahn and regional traffic, also in other regions such as Berlin and Brandenburg, there are numerous construction sites and changes in which passengers have to expect restricted offers. It is important to find out about current timetables and any diversions in advance.
