U9/U29 bypass line in 2019, one of the proposed concepts was building a new "superstation" combining the U-Bahn, S-Bahn, and regional train services to be built at South Ring and Lindwurmstraße. The plan called for the closure of the current ''Poccistraße'' and ''Implerstraße'' subway stations and construction of a new four-track station underneath the Südring, serving the U3, U9, and U29, and connecting to the new aboveground station serving regional trains and possibly the S-Bahn if the future S-Bahn-Ring is approved. The new U-Bahn station would be called ''Impler-/Poccistraße'' to differentiate it from the current U3/U6 – ''Implerstraße'' and ''Poccistraße'' stations. If the aboveground station is constructed, no official name, be it Münchner Südbahnhof or Impler-/Poccistraße Bahnhof, has been assigned.
