There’ll be replacements services using buses and you can use the U-Bahn (U2) from Zoo to Alexanderplatz, it just takes a lot longer so plan ahead. This sucks big time, maybe it should be added to the page mentioned above.I added this weeks ago…am I missing something?No, sorry I am. :) For some reason I both missed it and used wrong search terms when double checking whether I’ve missed it. Sorry for the noise. m(Does this suspension of service also have an effect for people arriving from the airports ? If so, I'll add a note to those sections as well.Depends where they arrive *to*. It’s a very important leg connecting east and west so if someone arrives for instance at SXF and has accommodation in the western city, chances are they are affected (although they should take a train then which are *not* affected). In order to get from TXL or SXF to Alexanderplatz you shouldn’t need to use that part of the network though.Ok. I was specifically curious about TXL/SXF -> Alexanderplatz, since there are sections on the page explaining these particular routes.
The constructions only have an impact on the S-Bahn between Friedrichstaße and Zoologische Garten. Short distance trains, RB and RE, are still operating on the sidings. That said, you can get to Alexanderplatz from Tegel Airport either via BUS (TXL) or via Bus an RE.
