Bahn-chaos finished: Munich-Holzkirchen passable again from Thursday!

München, Deutschland - Finally there is good news for all commuters, students and day trippers who are traveling between Munich and the Oberland. From Thursday, the end of this week, the railway line between Munich and Holzkirchen will be passable again. This reports the BR . After a month-long blocking due to soft damage, the train drivers are happy about the regular driving operations of the Munich S-Bahn, which will go back to Holzkirchen from Thursday.

In addition, the Bavarian Regiobahn (BRB) starts with its full access on Friday. Previously, the route had not been passable since the end of June due to the turnout damage. The damage had been discovered during a regular inspection, whereupon the railway decided to block the route, such as the Deutsche Bahn communicated.

frustration among passengers

The months of blocking brought some problems. The rail replacement traffic in particular caused frustration, since large -scale taxis and buses initially did not offer enough space and had no fixed timetable. The buses later drove between Giesing and Holzkirchen every 20 minutes, but they could not fully compensate for the actual capacity of train traffic. Due to the extended travel times, commuters and travelers were asked to do without trips in this area if possible.

In order to make the route accessible again as quickly as possible, damaged switches were temporarily replaced by straight rails. Further course should be replaced by new ones, the production was accelerated to minimize the effects of the disorder.

train invested in maintenance

Tagesschau reports that in 2024 the railway invests a total of 16.4 billion euros in the renewal of the rail infrastructure. The aim is to stop the infrastructure decay and reduce unpunctuality. Among other things, the renewal of 2,000 kilometers of tracks and 2,000 course as well as numerous modernization measures at train stations are planned.

With the restart of the route between Giesing and Holzkirchen, not only the shuttle traffic is stabilized, but also improves the quality of life of travelers. In the current situation, however, it is advisable to regularly consult the news about the S-Bahn Munich and to find out about possible changes in the timetable.
