Munich (dpa / lby) – The Munich S-Bahn trunk line will be closed for maintenance work on the next two weekends from late Friday evening to early Monday morning. From Friday to next Monday, there will therefore be no trains between Isartor and Giesing or Leuchtenbergring, as announced by Deutsche Bahn. Fewer trains then ran on the rest of the main route than usual. On the following weekend, the entire main route, including Ostbahnhof, will be closed from Friday, October 21 to Monday, October 24.
There is a rail replacement service with buses, and trams and subways are also available as alternatives with frequent intervals. All timetable changes are already taken into account in the electronic timetable information on the Internet and at the ticket machines, as the railway explained.
The company uses the weekends for extensive infrastructure expansion and maintenance work. “The Sendlinger Spange in the Laim area and the electronic signal box at the Ostbahnhof are being built,” it said. The second weekend is also the regular maintenance weekend, during which work on structures, tracks and stations along the entire main route is tackled in a bundled manner.
