S8 is a line on the Berlin S-Bahn.^[1] It operates from Wildau to Birkenwerder over:

• the Görlitz line, opened in 1866 and electrified in 1929,
• the Ring line, completed in 1877 and electrified in 1926,
• the Outer ring, completed on 22 November 1952 and electrified for the S-Bahn in 1962,
• and a short section of the Prussian Northern line, opened on 10 July 1877 and electrified on 8 August 1925.

The S8 was created on 2 June 1991, as a slightly shorter replacement of the Lime Green route of the East Berlin S-Bahn between Bernau bei Berlin and Grünau (via the eastern part of the Ringbahn).^[2][3]

An S8 train to Zeuthen appears in the opening frames of Pet Shop Boys' music video for the single Leaving from the album Elysium (2012).
