Messin' with Munich's Trains: A Delay-Filled Dilemma

Traveling in Upper Bavaria's Upper Bavaria region? Be prepared for a detour! Due to some pesky switch malfunctions, the Bavarian Regional Railway (BRB) has blocked all train traffic between Holzkirchen and Munich Central Station, as confirmed on their website. This roadblock affects the BRB networks Oberland and Chiemgau-Inntal, as well as S-Bahn line 3. The BRB has left us high and dry in Holzkirchen, with no trains going our way.

But don't freak out, the S-Bahn has thrown together an emergency traffic plan between Holzkirchen and Giesing for Sunday. They're urging passengers to hop on board, pointed in the direction of Munich. Once in Munich, it's smart to switch to the emergency traffic headed to Holzkirchen at Giesing.

So when will things get back to normal? Well, the BRB isn't dropping any hints, but we're looking at continued interruptions until at least late July.

But don't worry! When life hands us lemons, we make lemonade—or in this case, we find alternative routes. Here are a few options:

  1. Shuttle Buses: When regular trains can't run, shuttle buses often step up to the plate. These magic buses usually fill the gaps during events or schedule changes on routes such as Munich–Holzkirchen–Tegernsee.
  2. Transit Hubs: Stations like Munich-Giesing offer a variety of S-Bahn, U-Bahn, city, and regional bus connections that could serve as detour-friendly routes into central Munich.

Another handy spot to check out is Siemenswerke station, which has S7 trains and various Regionalbahn lines.

Remember, these roadblocks can last from a single day to a couple of weeks, depending on the cause. If you want details on how long your specific delay might last, keep an eye on local transit news for updates.

Stay cool and safe with your altered travel plans!

In light of the train disruptions between Holzkirchen and Munich Central Station, the public-transit system, S-Bahn, has proposed an emergency traffic plan involving shuttle buses as an alternative mode of transportation on the Munich–Holzkirchen–Tegernsee route. Additionally, transit hubs like Munich-Giesing offer a range of S-Bahn, U-Bahn, city, and regional bus connections, which could provide detour-friendly routes into central Munich during this time.
