Berlin S-Bahn
The S-Bahn Berlin GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn AG , has an “extended replacement schedule” put in place, which will comprise about 35 percent of the regular offer. Then the train stopped completely “until further notice” on eight of the 15 lines, including once on the major ring rail lines S41 and S42.
On some sections such as between Teltow city, Attila street and the south end and the north between Hennigsdorf and Tegel and Strausberg Nord Strausberg buses instead of trains.
The important just for commuters from the area surrounding Berlin North-South lines S1 (Wannsee-Oranienburg) and S2 (Blankenfelde-Bernau) remain, however, in operation, the S1 is extended to replace the truncated to the west S7 to Potsdam.

We constantly provide new capacity ready,” said the MeinFernbus spokesman.
