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 colour is 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 S3 (formerly Erkner ↔ Ostbahnhof) was extended westwards to Spandau. Then, it temporarily shortened to Ostkreuz.
