Summer holidays: Deutsche Bahn couples Pankow from swimming lakes from
construction site inevitable: In the hottest days, holiday passengers from Pankow have to do without air-conditioned S-Bahnen.
Full-climatized trains from Prenzlauer Berg and Pankow directly to the bathing lakes in Barnim-this dream has shattered with a new construction site on S-Bahn line 8. The line now has one of the first in Berlin completely over the latest generation cars with a cool blower. However, it is already over at the S-Bahn station Blankenburg. If you want to continue to the Kiessee in Mühlenbeck Mönchmühle or on Lake Summt, you have to sweat by buses in replacement traffic. And that in the summer vacation.
Until August 13, Deutsche Bahn wants to process inevitable work for an electrical signal box. Building measures that have consciously intended for this time because there are now fewer commuters on the move. However, you meet holiday passengers who wanted to go on the short way to Berlin's surrounding area with Germany ticket.
and the restrictions are far from over in mid -August. A further closure occurs on weekends from September 15th until September 18 on the section between Pankow and Karow and on the part to Mönchmühle. And a third construction stage concerns the period of the autumn holidays in the period from October 20 to November 3. Even then, the trains stand still on the track towards Barnim.
buses instead of lanes to the Barnim: From Pankow you need over 40 minutes
Anyone who wants to leave the bus to the Kiessee in Mönchmühle at over 30 degrees despite the rail replacement traffic must be prepared for considerably longer travel times. With switching to replacement buses from the Pankow S-Bahn station, you now need over 40 minutes-while otherwise you hardly need more than 15. And just under three quarters of an hour is only realistic if the replacement bus does not get stuck in the holiday departure towards the Baltic Sea.

The Senate recently confirmed that the route of the lines S8 and S2, the so-called Stettiner Bahn, was one of the most building and most susceptible in Berlin S-Bahn at the request of the CDU MP Johannes Kraft. In the years 2024 and 2025, further construction work with route closures has already been planned - even then during vacation times.
