Nothing works after Friday evening, 10:30 p.m.
From then on, the main line of the Munich S-Bahn between Hackerbrücke and Ostbahnhof is totally closed.
Here is an overview of the replacement timetable.
Munich - It is the lifeline of the state capital and the fastest east-west connection for all Munich residents.
The S-Bahn trunk line in Munich is one of the busiest railway lines in Europe.
At peak times, an S-Bahn runs in each direction every 90 seconds, Deutsche Bahn calculates in a press release.
For the tracks, however, this means a high load.
How long is the main route in Munich closed?
That is why DB has to completely replace nine kilometers of track.
The main route of the Munich S-Bahn between Hackerbrücke and Ostbahnhof will be completely closed from Friday (January 28) at 10:30 p.m. until Monday (January 31) at 4:40 a.m.
The same applies to the first weekend of February (February 4th to 7th).

S-Bahn trunk line in Munich blocked: which replacement traffic is running?
Alternatively, buses run between Ostbahnhof and Donnersbergerbrücke.
According to DB, on Saturdays they run every 7 minutes until around 9:30 p.m., otherwise every 10 to 15 minutes.
At night from around midnight, the SEV is extended to Pasing.
As an alternative route, the U5 runs regularly between Hauptbahnhof and Ostbahnhof.
However, this is not amplified.
In addition, tram 19, which runs parallel to the main route, is on the road with additional trips between Pasing and Ostbahnhof on order of the S-Bahn.
Main route blocked at the weekend: How do the S-Bahn go instead?
The S-Bahn lines will run differently than usual on the two weekends:
the
S8
will be diverted in both directions via the Südring and will not stop between Ostbahnhof and Pasing or on the Leuchtenbergring.
All other lines start/end early.
From/Westbound:
S1
runs regularly between Freising/airport and Moosach.
It runs between Moosach and Hbf without stopping and only every half hour.
S2
and
S4
begin/end at Hackerbrücke.
S3
begins/ends in Pasing.
S6
starts/ends at Hauptbahnhof and does not stop between Pasing and Hauptbahnhof.
S7
starts/ends at Hauptbahnhof and does not stop at Hackerbrücke.
From/To the East:
S2, S3, S4, S6, S7
start/end at Ostbahnhof.
When will the second regular route actually be finished?
Many people in Munich are wondering when the second regular route will finally be finished.
An answer is not that simple.
According to Markus Söder, 2028 is currently the opening date.
It remains to be seen, however, whether the date can be kept.
There is currently a huge rescheduling in the room.
