Subway trains resumed operation in Berlin's transit system
Rolling Again in Berlin: S-Bahn Services Restored After Storm
After a wild storm swept through the city, Berlin's S-Bahn network is back in action! The S45 and S46 lines have been given the green light to resume regular service, as announced on Twitter by Deutsche Bahn in the evening. However, the S9 line is currently operational only between Berlin Brandenburg Airport and Treptower Park.
The railway company has promised to keep us updated on the reopening of more lines. Just last week, a similar heavy storm caused the complete suspension of train traffic across the entire S-Bahn network.
Now, let's dive into the messy details. As of June 26, 2025, numerous lines are either not running at all or only partially operational:
- Lines S1, S2, S25, S26, S3, S41, S42, S47, S5, S7, S75, S85 are all halted.
- Meanwhile, the S8 is running only between Grünau and Treptower Park.
- The S9 route operates only between Flughafen BER and Treptower Park.
As cleanup crews work tirelessly to clear the tracks of storm-damage, the whole S-Bahn network is still feeling the impact. In the meantime, passengers are urged to consider alternative BVG transport options as the online timetable remains unreliable due to the disruptions.
Looking ahead, service will be restored fully once the tracks are cleared and are deemed safe for train travel again[2]. Essentially, the Berlin S-Bahn network is still recovering from the storm, with many lines experiencing significant disruptions and others slowly coming back online[2]. So, keep an eye on updates and plan your travels accordingly!
Financing is essential to aid the industry in repairing the storm damage on the S-Bahn transport network in Berlin. Meanwhile, the public-transit system, BVG, offers alternative transportation options for stranded S-Bahn passengers.
