S3 is a line on the Berlin S-Bahn.[1] It operates from Erkner to Spandau. For most of its existence since becoming a numbered route in 1984, the S3's line has been coloured blue.[2]

S3 originally was shortened to Ostbahnhof from 2003 to 2009 while awaiting renovation works. To compensate for the diminished throughput on the Stadtbahn, the Template:Lnl (formerly ErknerOstbahnhof) was extended westwards to Spandau. Then, it was temporarily shortened again to Ostkreuz.

Service history

The S3 was created along with the S1 and S2 on 9 January 1984, when the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) took over the S-Bahn network from the East German Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) in West Berlin: the S3 initially ran between Friedrichstraße and Charlottenburg, before being extended south-westwards to Wannsee on 1 May 1984.[3]

Due to the reunification of Germany, the S3 briefly became a four-coloured line on 1 July 1990, absorbing the DR S-Bahn services formerly terminating at Friedrichstraße to Template:Stn (orange), Template:Stn (yellow), Template:Stn (green), and Flughafen Berlin Schönefeld (sky blue, now BER Airport – Terminal 5).[4] On 2 June 1991, the S3 was broken-up into the following lines:[3]
