Munich (dpa / lby) - Due to construction work, passengers on the Munich S-Bahn had to accept some timetable changes at the weekend. According to the railways, a rail replacement service was set up on some sections, some lines did not stop at all the usual stops or stopped earlier.

The reason is the installation of a new electronic signal box at the Ostbahnhof, the construction work for which has now begun. From mid-2023, it will replace the previous system, which is outdated and highly prone to failure. There should also be nightly closures again and again until June 7th, especially from Tuesday to Thursday.
