S-Bahn Berlin: Gehrenseestraße remains tight-changeover is necessary
The S-Bahn Berlin is the heart of public transport in the capital for many people. Thousands of passengers use the red-yellow trains every day to get to work, sports or meet friends. However, a line that has a particularly large number of commuters has been quiet for some time, and the words "construction site" and "delay" have now become constant companions in the cityscape.
more specifically, this affects the S75, which connects Wartenberg with Warschauer Straße. An important stop, especially for people who come from the eastern districts, but has been working on the Gehrenseestrasse station since mid -June, and not too scarce. The reason for the closure? A comprehensive renovation of the train station. The platforms, the roof and the access stairs are renewed, and the train station is finally designed to be barrier -free, which is of great importance for many -limited passengers.
delays in the renovation
The original goal of ending the construction site by the beginning of September has already been moved to the back a long time. On September 6th - four days after the planned date - it was announced that the work will take place by October 7th. For the people who rely on this support, this not only means inconvenience, but also a massive restriction in their daily life.
The question that many passengers ask themselves: How do you get to the goal now? There are alternatives, but these costs time and nerves. For example, you could change between the S-Bahn station Hohenschönhausen and the “Klettwitzer Straße” bus stop and use one of the two bus lines X54 or 154. The X54 still has the advantage that it also stops at the intermediate stoppoints, which is a weak light at the end of the tunnel.
Another option is the bus line 294, which runs from around 5:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on weekends from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. This bus line connects the S-Gehnehrenseestrasse with the Falkenberg tram end. However, it should be noted that during the construction work, the road bridge on the Gehrenseestrasse could occasionally be blocked, which could cause additional problems.
Waiting for completion
If you consider the way over these lines, you definitely have to bring patience. The situation in local public transport during this construction work is tense. It is to be hoped that the new completion date can be observed and that passengers will soon be able to drive around comfortably and without interference. For the passengers who are dependent on this connection, the patience thread becomes increasingly thin.
The construction site is not just a nuisance for the commuters; It also symbolizes the challenges that public transport has to cope with in a growing metropolis. In a city like Berlin, where everything develops quickly, the transport infrastructure and the needs of the citizens must be reconciled. Until the S75 is regularly in operation again, the travelers only have to find their way around and to keep hope that the Gehrenseestrasse train station will soon resume its usual life.
