+**Fetches all lines known to the HAFAS endpoint**, e.g. warnings about disruptions, planned construction work, and general notices about the operating situation.

+## Example
+
+As an example, we're going to use the [SVV profile](../p/svv):
+
+```js
+const createClient = require('hafas-client')
+const svvProfile = require('hafas-client/p/svv')
+
+const client = createClient(svvProfile, 'my-awesome-program')
+
+console.log(await client.lines('S1'))
+```
+
