S-Bahn chaos in Stuttgart: delays due to defective signaling system!
On Thursday afternoon, June 19, 2025, there was a significant disruption in S-Bahn traffic in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt. A defective signaling system is currently affecting the S-Bahn lines S2 and S3, which run towards Fellbach in the Rems-Murr district. The disruption occurred around 5 p.m. and has already led to significant delays, and passengers have to be prepared for longer waiting times. The Stuttgart Transport and Tariff Association (VVS) provides information about the situation on its disruption page. Travelers are asked to check online before traveling as the duration of the disruption is currently unknown. In order to monitor the effects of the disruption, a table with real-time data on delayed or canceled S-Bahn trains is updated every ten minutes, reports Stuttgart News.
Broken signals appear to be a recurring problem on the S-Bahn network. Already on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, a defective signal at Feuersee led to disruptions in S-Bahn traffic in Stuttgart. At that time, all S-Bahn lines were affected. The defect was discovered around 3 p.m. and technicians were able to repair it by 4 p.m. Despite the repairs, the VVS warned that subsequent deviations were still expected on all S-Bahn lines, including S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6 and S60. That day, travelers were also required to check their connections online before starting their journey and to pay attention to display boards and loudspeaker announcements on the platform, they said Esslinger newspaper.
Impact on traffic
The repeated disruptions in S-Bahn traffic are worrying many commuters and travelers in the region. In particular, the S-Bahn lines S2 and S3, which are important for the connection between Stuttgart and the Rems-Murr district, are currently in focus. The unreliability of the timetable can have significant consequences for many passengers who rely on the S-Bahn every day.
The current situation requires quick action from the responsible authorities in order to restore the functionality of the S-Bahn network and prevent future disruptions. Passengers are still called upon to provide information VVS to keep in mind in order to stay as informed as possible.
