Ringbahn runs through again after shutdown in the south - Berlin’s S-Bahn ring line halts after track damage disrupts morning commute
Berlin’s S-Bahn ring line faced disruption early today when a damaged section of track halted services. The closure affected the route between Südkreuz and Hermannstraße.
The issue began this morning when a section of track between Südkreuz and Hermannstraße was found to be damaged. As a result, the S-Bahn ring line was temporarily suspended in that area. Both the S41 and S42 services were impacted, leaving passengers with delays during the morning commute.
S-Bahn Berlin took responsibility for the repairs. Investigations later confirmed that the damage was not caused by adverse weather. Once the necessary fixes were completed, the closure was lifted, allowing services to gradually return to schedule. By midday, the S41 and S42 lines had resumed full operation. Trains are now running normally, with no further interruptions reported on the affected stretch of the ring line.
The disruption caused delays for passengers travelling between Südkreuz and Hermannstraße. With repairs finished, the S-Bahn ring line is now operating as usual. Commuters can expect regular service on both the S41 and S42 routes.
