In Frankfurt no trains roll through the S-Bahn tunnel under the city center over the weekend. Passengers have to be prepared for failed lines and replacement traffic.
The central S-Bahn tunnel under downtown Frankfurt will be closed this evening for maintenance work. Train traffic should then be able to run again on Sunday afternoon. The reason for the blocking is maintenance work. The electronic interlocking needs a software update, and according to Deutsche Bahn, the technology in the tunnel should be maintained.
The tunnel that leads from Frankfurt Central Station in the direction of Offenbach is particularly important for S-Bahn traffic. Eight out of nine S-Bahn lines in the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV) area normally cross it.
Now parts of the route are no longer available or the trains are being diverted. Buses run as a substitute; In addition, additional subway cars should be on the way. Train tickets are also valid for local public transport in Frankfurt during the period of closure.
