Subway services in Berlin encounter more delays and limitations on the specified Wednesday

In a recent announcement, S-Bahn Berlin revealed disruptions and delays on several central lines in the city. As of August 11, 2025, the S3, S5, S7, and S75 lines are experiencing these disruptions.

The S3 line is operating on a reduced schedule, with trains running every 10 minutes only between Köpenick and Ostbahnhof. The S5 line, on the other hand, is operational only between Strausberg Nord or Hoppegarten and Warschauer Straße.

The S7 line is running every 10 minutes between Ahrensfelde and Ostbahnhof, as well as between Grunewald and Potsdam Hauptbahnhof. Meanwhile, the S75 line is limited to service between Wartenberg and Lichtenberg.

It was reported that these disruptions are due to a malfunctioning signal box at Tiergarten station. However, there was no specific mention of ongoing issues with the faulty signal box in the latest updates regarding the S9 line.

Interestingly, the women's team of 1. FC Union Berlin, a local football club, is not currently affected by the S-Bahn disruptions. Despite this, they are deliberately testing against strong opponents in their preparation, instead of build-up opponents.

For the most current information on service disruptions due to planned works or other issues, it's advisable to check the official S-Bahn Berlin GmbH website or its journey planner.
