Line U8 operates every 5 minutes during daytime service, although between 09:00 and 12:00, every other train terminates at Osloer Straße. Line U8 is completely underground and comprises the Gesundbrunnen-Neukölln U-Bahn line (Line D) opened in the 1920s. During the times of the city's division, U8 trains ran through East Berlin skipping all stations from Bernauer Straße to Heinrich-Heine-Straße. All 'ghost stations' were re-opened in the months following the fall of the Wall in Nov. 1989. The construction of a northern extension began in the 1970s and eventually reached Wittenau in 1994, although the initially 2-3 station extension to Märkisches Viertel was later shelved due to other priorities after the unification of the city. In the south, a 1-station extension was finished to provide interchange with the S-Bahn ring line which had re-opened in 1993. 17-07-1927:
