Scheduling

The S5 has a normal frequency of one train every 30 minutes. The through journey time is just over one hour 30 minutes.[2]

History

Prior to the timetable revision of late 2015, the section of the S5 between Zürich and Pfäffikon operated much as today. However west of Zürich, the trains operated to Oberglatt, where alternate trains continued to either Niederweningen or Rafz. The core of the line ran to a frequency of every half hour, thus providing hourly services to Niederweningen and Rafz. The section between Oberglatt and Niederweningen was also served by an hourly shuttle service numbered S55, that connecting at Oberglatt with the S5 trains that run to and from Rafz.[3]

The sections of line no longer covered by the S5 and S55 are now served by the S9 (to Rafz) and S15 (to Niederweningen).[1]
