Construction work is ongoing at Ostbahnhof until June 13th. This means that the Ostbahnhof S-Bahn station will not be served by any S-Bahn trains. Please be sure to use the MVgo app to find the detours. This also applies to the S-Bahn trains arriving and departing from the airport. You can definitely get from the airport to the city center and back, but you might have to change S-Bahn trains. The app just showed me all the routes during my tests today I could think of - so it's still possible to get from A to B but it might just be a bit more uncomfortable.

Yes, yes, DB bashing always works, right ;-) I wonder why the timing is bad? The new central station (including a second tunnel) is planned for 2035. I'm glad DB isn't waiting that long with the current construction site. They are building a new signal box at Ostbahnhof, which should solve some problems. Instead of getting upset that it's a bit uncomfortable now until the end of the holidays, I'm actually happy that DB is modernizing.
But Nigel, I'm really surprised because I thought it is a German habit to constantly complain about everything :-)
