Construction work in Hamburg: S-Bahn replacement service between Berliner Tor and Tiefstack!

Hamburg's S-Bahn commuters will have to prepare for some changes in the transport offering in the coming week.

However, anyone traveling from Tiefstack to Bergedorf or Aumühle can use line 2 trains, which continue to run during this time.

Important timetable changes

Particular attention should be paid to the timetable deviations between Berliner Tor and Altona. On weekdays from the start of operations until 9 p.m., the S-Bahn line 2, which is displayed as S1, will start in Barmbek and travel via Berliner Tor and Dammtor to Altona.

Further construction work in Hamburg's local transport
