Not only longer lines and new stations ensure a more attractive service, but also measures that are not immediately apparent to passengers. As part of the quality offensive for the Stuttgart rail hub (QSS), the association is also making additional investments in the rail network in order to make the network and operations more stable. A few examples:
- More points provide more flexibility. Thanks to their installation, the tracks in the S-Bahn tunnel between Schwabstraße and the university can be used more flexibly in future, particularly in the event of disruptions.
- More platforms for more S-Bahn. The platforms in Wendlingen, Nürtingen and Oberboihingen will be adapted so that the S-Bahn can continue from Plochingen to Nürtingen. A platform is also being reactivated in Feuerbach, which will be used in particular to extend the S62 from Zuffenhausen to Feuerbach, but also in the event of disruptions. In Vaihingen, the new regional platform will be connected to the S-Bahn tracks with additional points.
- More trains require more sidings: To this end, additional stabling facilities for vehicles are to be prepared in Kornwestheim, Stuttgart-Vaihingen, Bietigheim-Bissingen and Esslingen.
- More capacity: The construction of a turning track in Böblingen means that long trains can also be turned and parked here in future. Previously, this was only possible for full trains.
