From Friday evening to Monday morning (24–27 July 2026), there will be massive restrictions in the Munich S-Bahn network at Pasing station. The S3, S4, S5 and S8 lines are mainly affected – replacement buses and diversions are required.
Quick overview
This report is primarily relevant for rail travelers because it may have concrete effects on planning, connections or infrastructure. The focus is on Munich, S-Bahn, DB, construction site, construction works, Pasing, SEV (replacement service), MVV and passenger info. The key points are summarized concisely below.
Key points
- Restrictions from 24 July, 9:50 pm, until 27 July, 5:00 am, due to switch works at Pasing station.
- S3 is cancelled between Lochhausen and Hackerbrücke, with replacement service between Lochhausen and Pasing.
- S4 only runs between Geltendorf and Pasing.
- S5 only runs between Aying and Ostbahnhof; S8 does not stop at Pasing and is split between Herrsching–Hauptbahnhof and Ostbahnhof–Flughafen.
- S1, S2, S6 and S7 largely operate to the regular timetable; according to DB, further construction phases in Pasing are scheduled for August and September.
What this means for travelers
For travelers, it is worth taking a close look at the time period, route and booking conditions. The key question is whether the report already triggers concrete timetable changes or primarily describes a political or strategic development.
Context
The cause is switch works at Pasing station, involving the replacement of 23 switches, around 900 sleepers and approximately 800 tons of ballast. Deutsche Bahn recommends using the DB Navigator or the MVV app in advance.
What to watch now
- Only check concrete timetable or construction notices once travel dates are fixed.
- For international journeys, plan connection times more generously.
- Monitor the source and operator information in case dates are still provisional.
