From Friday evening until Monday morning, only the S6 will run on the Munich S-Bahn core line. Due to switch construction works in Pasing, most lines will be diverted, reduced or replaced by buses. Further construction phases will follow in August and September.

What this means for travelers
For travelers, it is worth taking a closer look at the time period, route and booking conditions. It is crucial whether the report already triggers concrete timetable changes or whether it initially describes a political or strategic development.
Context
Deutsche Bahn is renewing switches in the Pasing area and replacing sleepers and ballast. The works affect the entire S-Bahn service around the Munich core line and will continue in several construction phases through September.
What to watch now
- Check concrete timetable or construction notices only once travel dates are set.
- Plan connection times more generously for international trips.
- Monitor the source and operator information in case dates are still provisional.
