S-Bahn problems due to accident on the line

Within the space of the last half hour, around 5 fire engines and 4 police vehicles raced past on the Hackerbrücke. I've just heard that the SBahns have stopped running. Anyone heard anymore info?

My wife just called me; the underground of Hauptbahnhof is apparently blocked; I don't know if this is because of the security conference.
Anyway, before leaving home this afternoon it might be a good idea to check MVV

There's some kind of Notartzeinsatz thing going on.

Haggis Junior just called in from Feldmoching, there was an "accident on the line". She said she wished they would just pull the *censored* body off the *censored* tracks and get the trains running again. "Es kommt zu Verzögerungen" is all that they are saying right now.
EDIT: Sehr geehrte Fahrgäste, aufgrund eines Notarzteinsatzes verkehren gegenwärtig keine S-Bahnen zwischen Laim und der Donnersbergerbrücke. Die S20 und die S27 verkehren nicht. Bitte weichen Sie auf alle U-Bahn Linien aus. Für weitere Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gerne Mo-Fr von 6-22 Uhr und Sa - So von 9-19 Uhr unter 01805/661010 (14 ct/Min) zur Verfügung. Herzliche Grüße Ihr Service- Dialog.

My wife called me about some Sbahn problems (topic merged with this one) and people say that somebody was injured/killed on the Sbahn tracks right now.

According to the S-Bahn Störmelder newsletter I just got, it's another paramedic callout.


Edit: Travellers are advised to use the U-Bahn where possible, as no S-Bahns are running between Laim and Donnersberger Brücke. A shuttle is running between Hackerbrücke and Ostbahnhof.

Update - the traffic is now blocked in both ways along the Hackerbrücke as that's where all the fire engines are parked. I heard a rumour that it's because of the security conference, but it's looking like something else to me

Edit - thanks for the info.

Now there's nothing running between Hackebrücke and Ostbahnhof:

Sehr geehrte Fahrgäste, aufgrund eines Notarzteinsatzes verkehren gegenwärtig keine S-Bahnen zwischen der Hackerbrücke und dem Ostbahnhof. Die S20 und die S27 verkehren nicht. Bitte weichen Sie auf alle U-Bahn Linien aus.

Slowly running again but it will take them forever to get back on schedule.

Right then,

Wife came home an hour late having heard of a "Notarzteinsatz" at Hackerbrücke.

Messed up the train schedule.

Doesnt that mean someone threw a seven, or bought the farm this afternoon?

Yes it was me. I own up.

I blame the Föhn

A prominent TTer was severely keydecked for not doing a search.

As it happens I did walk past Hackerbrücke today. Then I got on a tram, intimidated a kid who was shoving past people with a big rucksack, got shouted at by irate German woman who said it was child abuse and that my German was crap (ouch, hit me in my linguistic skills), grinned at woman and told her off in a polite but firm way and then got smiled at by a man & woman who approved of the intimidation, then went back to work. Didn't chuck anyone off a bridge today though.

What's a hairdryer got to do with the S-Bahn?

This is Toytown. You're supposed to blame the moderators.

woof.

A suicide in Toytown? I thought the lines were closed because of the security confrence near Karlzplatz.

No, only trams and buses are affected by the conference

Police report says a 33 yr old woman was crossing the rails near Hackerbrücke, was hit by an S-Bahn and seriously injured.
