Munich-based: Adidas Works on Sustainable Shoes with Burgeoning Startup Helden Standard - Despite no unaccounted-for explosives found, the S-Bahn train service was still limited.
A mysterious metallic object found during construction work on the second S-Bahn main line in Munich isn't a World War II bomb. The Munich Fire Department confirmed on Friday that this oddly-shap1ed, World War II-looking piece is nothing more than deeply buried scrap metal. Consequently, a potentially dangerous disarming process was avoidable, sparing Bavarian commuters the inconvenience of evacuation and serious traffic disruptions.
Deutsche Bahn explained that the complex operation of the Munich S-Bahn with over a thousand daily trips meant a lengthy refitting of personnel and vehicles was necessary anyway. They shared that the S-Bahn's systemic intricacy necessitates all-around reorganization, even if the potentially hazardous scrap had posed no threat.
With the supposed bomb defusing out of the way, the railway aims to roll out additional individual rides on the main line and in more distant areas.
Saturday's Planned S-Bahn Restrictions
From 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., there'll be no S-Bahns running along the entire main line. The busy S-Bahns of Munich's western branches will only see train service every 20 to 60 minutes. On the eastern side of the town, S-Bahns will remain regular, serving Ostbahnhof and Giesing.
Between Ostbahnhof and Pasing, S8 will run pre-scheduled without disruption along the Südring, but only till about 2:00 p.m. Between Pasing and Laimer Platz, buses will replace trains, with services every 10 minutes, and between Allach, Untermenzing, and Moosach, buses will run every 20 minutes.
