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 ErknerOstbahnhof) was extended westwards to Spandau. Then, it temporarily shortened to Ostkreuz.
