S-Bahn chaos at the beginning of the year: disorders and replacement traffic in Berlin!

The S-Bahn Berlin is facing a challenging year 2024, in which irregularities in the timetable became known at an early stage. From Friday, January 3., the line S3 will be restricted at short notice because there will be no trains between Friedrichshagen and Karlshorst. This measure, which should continue until Monday, January 6, is necessary by renovation at Köpenick station, such as berlin-Live.de . The affected stops are Friedrichshagen, Hirschgarten, Köpenick, Wuhlheide and Karlshorst, which means a significant change for passengers.

For compensating relief, replacement bus traffic is set up. The S3A bus line will transport the travelers between Friedrichshagen and Karlshorst, while the S3B line is available for the additional route between the replacement stop and the S-Bahn station in Wuhlheide. Nevertheless, passengers have to expect to take a certain footpath to the S-Bahn stations, which could extend the travel time.

about the Karlshorst station

The Karlshorst train station is an important hub in the S-Bahn network and was originally opened in 1895. It is located in the Lichtenberg district and plays an important role in regional traffic, even if the train station was confronted with various challenges over the years, including several modernizations and renovations, as wikipedia describes. Since the creation of S-Bahn lines in the region, the station has been used by numerous commuters and has established itself as an important access point to the capital.
