Timetable change and construction sites: Göppingen is left out!
Göppingen, Deutschland - On June 15, 2025, a small timetable change is in the house, which, however, does not bring any significant changes to the Filstalbahn regional traffic. The Ministry of Transport has confirmed that improvements will be implemented in other regions during the summer vacation, but the Filstalbahn is left out, as Filstalwelle reported. Passengers have to expect restrictions, especially in the summer months.
From July 26, the S-Bahn master route in Stuttgart will be closed for several weeks. This block lasts until September 5 and affects all trips in this section. Passengers between Stuttgart and Plochingen in particular will have to switch to the S-Bahn and the Mex lines 12 and 18. A conversion of the tunnel with modern digital control technology (ETCS) is also planned, which will hopefully improve future travel times.
expansion of the Filstalbahn - a long -term project
The S-Bahn region Stuttgart also works on an expansion of the Filstalbahn. In the future, a connection from Bad Cannstatt to Göppingen-Süßen will be created, the commissioning of which is planned for 2032. This project is a greater purpose to optimize the S-Bahn network in the region and close the last gaps. However, there are some hurdles in the way of the project, like Stuttgarter News determined.
In addition, the S5 to Vaihingen/Enz and the Schusterbahn between Untertürkheim and Kornwestheim are also to be improved. It remains to be seen how Deutsche Bahn will master the challenges when expanding.
construction work and driving prices
The current summer vacation and the associated construction work will undoubtedly provide inconvenience. Some passengers have to prepare for changed connections and longer waiting times. Those who regularly use the S-Bahn are particularly affected. For detailed information on changed line guides, the DetailsOrt Göppingen, Deutschland Quellen
