Service Restored on Berlin City Railway Following Incident

In a significant development, the restrictions on the Berlin City Railway have been lifted following a smoke incident involving a train at the central station. The incident, which occurred earlier in the day, led to considerable delays and cancellations across several S-Bahn lines.

The affected lines included S3, S5, S7, S75, and S9, all of which experienced interruptions in service due to a police operation initiated at the Berlin Hauptbahnhof. According to the Federal Police, smoke was detected between two carriages of an S-Bahn train. Authorities quickly responded, ensuring the safety of passengers and assessing the situation.

As part of the response, the train involved was thoroughly examined and subsequently taken to a maintenance facility for further inspection. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the incident. A spokesperson for the railway company indicated that the source of smoke was identified as a frayed electrical cable, which triggered the alarm.

The swift action taken by the police and railway staff has been commended, as it ensured the safety of commuters during what could have been a more serious situation. With service now fully restored, commuters can resume their journeys without further delays.

This incident highlights the importance of vigilance and quick response in maintaining the safety and reliability of public transport systems. The Berlin S-Bahn continues to operate under its regular schedule after resolving the issues caused by this morning's events.
