List of former routes of the Berlin S-Bahn

edit

The S19 operated between Oranienburg and Hennigsdorf from 29 May 1994 to 26 May 1995: the S19 was part of a Duo S-Bahn electro-diesel trial that used a single 4-car Class 485 train.

The route is now part of the RB20 between Oranienburg and Potsdam Griebnitzsee, which currently use Class 442 (Bombardier Talent 2) electric trains.
