S-Bahn failures between Nuremberg and Bamberg: construction work from Monday!
Nuremberg, November 9th, 2025: Construction work causes S-Bahn cancellations and rail replacement services between Nuremberg and Bamberg until November 25th.

S-Bahn failures between Nuremberg and Bamberg: construction work from Monday!
The construction work that is due on the important S-Bahn line 1 between Nuremberg and Bamberg is casting its shadow ahead. From Monday, November 10th, passengers must expect significant restrictions between now and November 25th. This affects all stops along the route, which includes Fürth, Erlangen and Forchheim. Therefore, Deutsche Bahn will set up a rail replacement service that will be active in the evenings from 9:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. So if you want to go from Nuremberg main station to the center of Bamberg, you should be prepared for a short journey away from the usual railway tracks and, as [Augsburger Allgemeine](https://www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de/bayern/s-bahn-nuernberg-hier-drohen-ausfaelle-und-schienenersatzverkehr-112754959) emphasizes, check the connection before departure.
But that's not all: there is another restriction for commuters who may still want to use their bicycles - since the replacement buses cannot transport bicycles, cyclists should resort to alternative options. For the construction work that is given as the reason for these measures, a completely renovated route between Nuremberg and Regensburg is planned for the first half of 2026, which is expected to be associated with five-month closures.
Tips from Deutsche Bahn
For travelers, this means that good planning is essential. Deutsche Bahn recommends always checking your own connection to avoid possible surprises. The right timing is crucial here!
At a time when mobility is an increasingly important part of everyday life, construction work is often on the agenda. Although these measures can be annoying, they are necessary to ensure reliable transport in the future and to bring the infrastructure up to date. If you look at upcoming developments in the region, you can compare something like the introduction of virtual tools that make everyday life easier, such as the Windows Get Help app. Even though the focus here is on digital support, it shows how important it is to have the right information at hand.
The construction work on the S-Bahn line appears to be just the first step in a series of planned improvements that will affect both local transport and other areas in the long term. You could say that there is a lot going on and it's worth staying tuned!
