Massive interruptions in Berlin: Vandalism leads to restrictions
Massive interruptions in Berlin: Vandalism leads to restrictions
cause still unknown
There was an incident in Berlin on Friday morning that had a massive impact on rail traffic. A fire in a cable shaft in the Jungfernheide area led to considerable disorders in local, regional and long-distance transport. The Berlin S-Bahn refers to the incident as vandalism and the federal police have investigated because possible arson assumes.
Traffic disruptions in detail
The consequences of the fire are significant: the section between the Berlin Central Station and Spandau is affected, since several switches and turnout regulators cannot be operated due to the damage. Long -distance traffic is diverted via the northern Berlin outer ring, whereby the stop in Spandau is eliminated. Derivocations, delays and throats can also be observed in regional traffic. Passengers are asked to use alternative means of transport.
Ringbahn and replacement traffic
The S-Bahn lines S41 and S42 in particular are interrupted between the Westend and Beusselstraße. To support the moving passengers, replacement traffic is set up by bus. The fire brigade reports that about five meters of cable were affected on the railway embankment between the Beusselstraße and Jungfernheide train stations. Fortunately, the fire could be deleted quickly.
Investigations by the authorities
The spokesman for the federal police informed that the investigation was already underway for suspected arson. The repair of the damaged infrastructure will take some time, so that the rail travelers have to expect restrictions until the afternoon. Deutsche Bahn urgently advises passengers to avoid the affected area of Jungfernheide and switch to alternatives such as the BVG to minimize the impairment.
Effects on the community
These disorders in the transport network not only affect commuters and travelers, but also have far -reaching effects on the entire community in Berlin. Public transport is a lifeline for many citizens, and the failure of connections can lead to delays in daily planning and restrict general mobility. The events in Jungfernheide illustrate the susceptibility of the transport network and the need for security measures to ensure public security.
