S-Bahn chaos in the Rhine-Main: cancellations and diversions from Friday!
From this Friday, June 13, 2025, there will be massive restrictions on S-Bahn traffic in the Rhine-Main area. The lines S8, S9 and the regional train RB58 are affected. Deutsche Bahn and the Hessische Landesbahn announce uncomfortable times for commuters and travelers, as numerous trains are canceled or rerouted, especially on weekends and at night tagesschau.de reported.
The restrictions specifically concern:
- Die S9 zwischen Kelsterbach und Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof: Züge entfallen in den Nächten (von 21 Uhr bis 5 Uhr) sowie ganztägig am Wochenende.
- Die S8 wird am 25. und 26. Juni in der Nacht um 15 Minuten vorverlegt und entfallt zwischen Kelsterbach und Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof in der Nacht von 26. auf 27. Juni.
- Für die RB58 geht es vom 20. Juni bis 23. Juni ohne Halt zwischen Hanau und Frankfurt Süd.
Diversions and alternative traffic
A replacement bus service will be set up for the S8 and S9. Passengers should inform themselves about the digital timetable information before starting their journey in order to avoid last-minute changes, as the disruptions are also caused by switch maintenance work around Frankfurt Central Station, as well t-online.de reported.
Previous difficulties were already recorded in May 2025 with several weeks of outages for the S8 and S9 due to work between Mainz-Bischofsheim and Rüsselsheim-Opelwerk. However, this work was completed as planned, which now results in new construction sites. The timetable of the Rheingau line RB 10 also provides for timetable deviations and rail replacement services from June 13th, especially during the week in the evenings and on weekends.
Current traffic problems
Just recently, on Monday morning, there were already cancellations and delays in S-Bahn traffic in the Rhine-Main area, which were caused by a defective train at the “Frankfurt-Taunusanlage” station. These problems significantly affected the S8 and S9 lines, which once again shows how tense the situation is in regional transport hessenschau.de determines.
It remains to be hoped that road users can react to the upcoming changes in a well-informed and timely manner in order to reduce inconvenience during commuting time to a minimum.
