Due to storm damage, there were numerous problems in local transport on Tuesday evening in the greater Munich area. Deutsche Bahn reported several blocked S-Bahn routes because trees had damaged overhead lines. Even on Wednesday morning there were major disruptions, for example between Puchheim and Geltendorf on the S 4 line, on the S 2 line between Dachau train station and Altomünster and on the S 1 line to Freising and Munich Airport. There was a lightning strike and technical faults in signals. At noon, the train finally reported that there would be no more impairments.
In regional traffic, several routes were blocked on Tuesday evening and train traffic stopped, including, for example, the routes between Landshut and Plattling (Deggendorf district) and between Munich and Buchloe (Ostallgäu district), as stated on the Deutsche Bahn website.
Connections between Stuttgart and Munich, Stuttgart and Nuremberg, between Erfurt, Nuremberg and Munich, between Fulda and Munich and between Frankfurt (Main) and Passau were also affected. You have been temporarily set. The night trains of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) to and from Amsterdam, Brussels, Innsbruck and Vienna were canceled, as the railroad announced. Long-distance trains that were still moving were sometimes very full. It is said that we ask for your understanding. Travelers were asked to find out about their connection prior to departure.
