S-Bahn causes problems: Stuttgart Airport gets temporary express bus
Passengers who want to reach Stuttgart Airport by S-Bahn are currently facing many delays and cancellations due to construction work. According to Deutsche Bahn, the problem is that the curve radii on the alternative route are tight and the wheels of the trains are wearing unexpectedly heavily. Now they want to solve the problem with a shuttle bus. To do this, a rail replacement service is being set up between the main station and Vaihingen. Non-stop buses will also run between 4:30 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. To enable passengers to catch early departures, a non-stop bus (SEV 3) to Stuttgart Airport is provided as a replacement service on Monday to Friday. This departs from the main station at 4:50 a.m. and should reach the airport at around 5:18 a.m. There are currently no plans to run additional services, but those responsible do not want to rule this out completely due to the construction work situation.
