Berliner Ringbahn back into operation: Refurbishment work successfully completed!

Greifswalder Straße, 10405 Berlin, Deutschland - The Berlin S-Bahn has taken up speed again after the autumn holidays! From Monday, November 4, the ring railway will roll through again after extensive renovation work. The route between Greifswalder Straße and Wedding was interrupted due to the introduction and testing of the new ZBS train protection system. This state -of -the -art system monitors the trains while driving and replaces the old, maintenance -intensive mechanical driving barriers. But not all routes are free again!
