📋 Tender Overview
July 3, 2025
Damaged thresholds, including the soft transition, are expanded or replaced at short notice
Resumption of train traffic much earlier than originally thought
Transport Minister Bernreiter: Telephone call with DB board has an effect
After the short-term and surprising blocking of the railway line between Munich-Giesing and Holzkirchen due to damaged soft thresholds, Deutsche Bahn (DB) today announced a significantly faster repair of the route than originally announced. Bavarias Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter had in a phone call with Dr. Philipp Nagl, the CEO of DB Infrago AG, used for such a quick solution. Bernreiter: I am pleased that the railway will quickly follow the announcements from my phone call with Dr. Nagl and hopefully the route can now be released for traffic much faster than feared. Maybe the train will learn from it.
The solution of the railway states that the course in Unterhaching is temporarily expanded. After completing the construction work, both tracks should be available from July 10, so that the Giesing - Deisenhofen section of the route can be restored. The DB could accelerate the turnout deliveries in the Deisenhofen train station, so that five new course can probably be installed by July 17th. The railway shows a really remarkable commitment here, Bernreiter praises the prospect. It is a shame, however, that it had to come.
The Minister of Transport will keep an eye on whether the DB can keep the scheduled schedule: The announcements must follow acts! Until then, replacement traffic must be driven stable with the necessary capacity so that passengers do not suffer anymore from the current situation.
