Any TT'ers stuck this morning because of an accident on the S2?

My girlfriend's dad told us of an S-Bahn delay this morning and we took the car. We drove by what I assumed was the scene at Poing Bahnhof, but didn't get out of the car. Cops and emergency people were there.

Anybody know what happened? I assumed somebody offed themselves again...

Don't know what happened, but thanks for letting me know why my S2 was 10min late this morning...

I live by there and didn't hear a single thing. I left from there 2hrs ago, and there was no cop tape up, no investigators, nothing that would indicate a prob. this am..

According to Eisenbahnforum.de it was a tree on the line

Bei Mühlthal ist heute Morgen ein Baum ins Gleis gefallen und hat die Oberleitung runtergeholt. Demzufolge Streckensperrung zwischen Starnberg und Gauting. Mit Stand etwa 8 Uhr ist ein Gleis wieder befahrbar, zwischen Starnberg und Gauting wurde Schienersatzverkehr bestellt, aber von den örtlichen Busbetrieben nicht gefahren. Zwischen Starnberg und Tutzing pendelt die S-Bahn mit 2 Zügen etwa alle 20 Minuten

That incident looks to be between "Starnberg und Tutzing" or "Starnberg und Gauting". Nowhere in that post is Poing mentioned.

I think this is the one you wanted:

Guten Morgen!
Aufgrund einer gerissenen Oberleitung in Poing kommt es im Zugverkehr zwischen München und Markt Schwaben zu erheblichen Behinderungen.

Die S-Bahn Richtung Petershausen (Abfahrt 5.20 Uhr in Poing) hat diese an einem vor kurzem ausgebesserten Stück der Oberleitung runtergerissen.

Pootle's post doesn't refer to the S2. Did some research and found this.

I.e. nothing tragic, it was a self-inflicted technical failure (a train pulled down part of the overhead power line that had only recently been repaired).

EDIT: OK then, DK was faster...

Ahh the good old cut and paste failure *cough cough*

Poots, if it makes you feel better there were two tree-related incidents yesterday, hitting the S2 and S6 respectively.

Splitting hairs here, but the S2 incident was not tree-related.
