Timetable changes due to construction work: direct airport connections suspended
Due to construction work on the rail infrastructure at Zurich Wipkingen station, the following restrictions will apply until 14 December 2024:
- The IR 75 and IR 70 will no longer be able to serve Zurich Airport directly. Zurich Airport can be reached from Lucerne and Zug in the same amount of time by changing at Zurich main station. Those travelling from Central Switzerland can have their luggage sent to Zurich Airport at preferential conditions during the period of construction work.
- The S24 will be suspended between Zurich main station and Zurich Wipkingen and thus will not serve the airport directly from Zug. The S24 will run according to schedule on the Zurich Wipkingen–Zurich Airport–Winterthur–Thayngen/Weinfelden route.
Further information about the restrictions and timetable changes can be found at SBB.ch or via the following link.
