S-Bahn accident in Ebersberg: Fortunately, passengers were unharmed!
The S-Bahn line S4 experienced an unpleasant incident at Ebersberg station on November 6, 2025. During a stop, the driver maneuvered the train awkwardly against a bumper, like innpuls.me reports that…. The whole thing happened shortly after 9 a.m. and fortunately all around 80 passengers were uninjured. With a speed of less than 10 km/h, the S-Bahn was slow at the time of the impact, but the braking was probably not optimally assessed.
The damage to the catch bumper and the coupling of the S-Bahn is minor, but the buffer stop was hit harder. The train was still able to continue its journey to Ostbahnhof. After the police measures have been completed, the S-Bahn will now be taken to the Steinhausen depot for repairs. The federal police have already started investigations to clarify the threat to rail traffic.
Especially in times when rail traffic is often very busy due to technical disruptions and delays, it is reassuring that no injuries were reported in this incident. The disruption for travelers between Grafing and Ebersberg remained minimal, which probably gave many commuters a sigh of relief.
While the train drivers were happy about the rapid onward journey, hard work was being done in the background to check the safety precautions. The events surrounding the S-Bahn once again point to the wounds of the often tense traffic situation in the region.
What does this mean for the future? The Federal Police will ensure that such incidents do not happen again. Even if the S-Bahn has overcome this hurdle, questions remain about general traffic safety. After all, a good knack for estimating braking distances is the be-all and end-all. Let's hope that with this experience no one comes up with the idea of turning down their own alarm bells.
