Rail service halted - finalization of primary track brings temporary air quality changes for passengers
In the heart of Stuttgart, the city's S-Bahn service is undergoing a series of maintenance works this summer. These works, focused on the areas of Stuttgart-Vaihingen and between Bietigheim and Ludwigsburg, are not directly related to the digitization of the rail junction, unlike the previous closures.
The S-Bahn main line in the city center has been completely closed since late July, with trains ending at the above-ground part of the Hauptbahnhof. Passengers have had to plan longer walks to buses and the U-Bahn during this closure, as the trains will likely continue to end at the above-ground part of the Hauptbahnhof.
One positive development during these works is the installation of a new switch connection between two stations, aimed at making S-Bahn operations more flexible and reliable. Additionally, around 50 kilometers of new cables have been laid in the past weeks.
Another major closure of the S-Bahn tunnel line in the city center is planned for next summer. However, the spokeswoman for the railway has announced that this closure next year is not expected to affect the resumption of S-Bahn service at the inner-city tunnel stations from early Saturday morning.
The reduced capacity of the S-Bahn service in Stuttgart is due to these short-term necessary maintenance works. Trains on lines S1 to S5 will run every half hour instead of every 15 minutes. It's important for passengers to plan their journeys accordingly.
Work has also been done on connecting the new Stuttgart-21 tracks to existing tracks, although the company responsible for the installation of the new control and safety technology in the S-Bahn tunnel in Stuttgart is not specified in the provided search results.
This is the fifth closure in a row in Stuttgart, with the purpose being the digitization of the rail junction. The maintenance works this summer are not expected to affect the stations that were previously closed during the closure from late July.
Passengers are advised to stay updated on the S-Bahn service disruptions and plan their journeys accordingly. The digitization project of the rail junction is expected to bring significant improvements to the city's public transportation in the long run.
