Berlin Rail Change Board: Your Line from 13 December
What the Berlin timetable change on 13 December 2026 does to your line, and what your VBB ticket costs from 1 January 2027. Pick a line to see every closure, cut and new train to the end of 2027 on one timeline, then check how much your ticket rises. Checked on 20 October 2026.
Regional trains return to the Stadtbahn, RE3 and RE5 go hourly, the RE4 stops at Wustermark, the S1 and S5 thin out in the rush hour, and the Deutschlandticket goes to 66.80 euros.
Find your line before the new timetable finds you. This board shows what changes on it, from when, and what your ticket will cost.
What the board shows
Berlin changes its train timetable on Sunday 13 December 2026 and its VBB fares on 1 January 2027. The board puts thirteen lines on one timeline from October 2026 to December 2027: red where a line is cut, shortened or diverted, yellow where it loses trains, green where it gets better or is new, and grey where nothing changes yet.
How to use it
Pick your line, or tap its row on the board. The panel below lists every change for that line with the date it starts.
The dashed lines mark 13 December (new timetable), 1 January (new fares) and 30 June 2027, the last day old-price tickets are valid.
In the second part, pick the ticket you use most. The chart shows how much each VBB ticket rises, and the panel gives the new price and what to do before January.
Where the data comes from
Line changes come from the VBB timetable release of 8 October 2026 and the Stadtbahn closure notice of the operators; dates marked expected are VBB forecasts. Prices come from the VBB price list of 24 September 2026, which still awaits formal approval. Journey planners show trains after 12 December only once the new timetable is loaded.
