S9 is a line on the Berlin S-Bahn.[1] It operates from Schönefeld Flughafen to Spandau through Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Berlin Central Station) over:
- a very short section of the Outer ring, opened in 1951 and electrified in 1983,
- a short section of the former Outer freight ring opened in the early 1940s and electrified in 1983,
- the Görlitz line, opened in 1866 and electrified in 1929,
- the Ring line, completed in 1877 and electrified in 1926 and, via a connecting curve,
- the east-west railway through central Berlin: the Berlin–Wrocław railway, which at Berlin Ostbahnhof becomes the Berlin Stadtbahn.
History
Future extension
A southern extension from Schönefeld station, serving the new Berlin Brandenburg International airport, was expected to open in 2018 or 2019.[2] It will include two new stops: Waßmannsdorf and Berlin Brandenburg Airport (terminal).[3][4] The line has already been built and is served by a few non-revenue trains, but the airport has not yet opened, thus delaying train service as well.
