Trains' departure from Munich to Oberland is scheduled when?
The Munich-Holzkirchen railway line has been temporarily closed due to switch damage, causing a significant inconvenience for commuters, students, and tourists alike. As a result, large-capacity taxis and buses have been organised as replacement traffic, but they have failed to offer enough space and have not run according to a fixed timetable. Replacement buses, running every 20 minutes between Giesing and Holzkirchen, have been the only alternative for those who rely on the line.
The closure is not expected to last much longer, as some of the damaged switches are being temporarily replaced with straight tracks, and others will be replaced with new ones. The railway's switch and crossing plant has expedited production to ensure a swift resolution.
S-Bahn trains of line S3, which were initially planned to resume on July 10, will now be running again from July 17. Similarly, regional trains to the Upper Palatinate region will be running regularly again. However, rail traffic in Northern Germany is disrupted until the end of the day due to a problem with a new bridge on the railway line between Berlin and Rostock.
The disruption has sparked criticism, with commuters expressing their frustration at the lack of reliable replacement services. This is not an isolated incident, as similar complaints have been voiced in the Northern Germany disruption.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information on the resumption of services, it is recommended to consult the Bavarian railway authorities or official Deutsche Bahn announcements. Local transport authority websites and news outlets may also provide useful information regarding schedules and notices regarding service disruptions and restorations.

The temporary closure of the Munich-Holzkirchen railway line has highlighted the need for improved alternative transportation options in the industry, as large-capacity taxis and buses have struggled to meet demand. Despite some improvements in the near future with S-Bahn trains of line S3 resuming on July 17, finance for better preparedness and coordination of replacement traffic remains a concern, especially in light of similar criticism seen in Northern Germany.
