Route

The service links Winterthur, in the northeast of the canton of Zürich, and Rapperswil, on the on north shore of Lake Zürich but just over the cantonal boundary in the canton of St. Gallen.

From Stadelhofen, trains then run over the Lake Zürich right-bank railway line to Rapperswil. Between Stadelhofen and Meilen trains run non-stop, with a parallel stopping service provided by lines S6 and S16.[1][2]
