The S6 was a line number used by the Berlin S-Bahn from June 1991 until June 2002. The line always ran to the south-east corner of Berlin, although a number of routings were used during its period of operation. The line was replaced by the S46 and S8 which now provide connections to south-east Berlin.

Service history

The S6 was created on 2 June 1991, as a shorter replacement of the Green route of the S3 between Charlottenburg and Königs Wusterhausen.[1][2]

A year later, the line was extended by one station to Westkreuz. In May 1994, the line was shortened to act as a peak-time shuttle between Warschauer Straße and Zeuthen. The line was removed in June 2002.
