Rolling stock[]
Most services were operated once with RABe 514 class (weekdays) and RABe 511 (weekends) trains, before the timetable change in late 2015. Some services are run by Re 450 class locomotives pushing or pulling double-deck passenger carriages.[citation needed] All services are operated by the mixed usage of RABe 511 class and Re 450 class double-deck coaches.[3]
Scheduling[]
The train frequency on the line is usually 30 minutes and the trip takes 72 minutes.[2]
History[]
The service was started between Rapperswil and Birmensdorf on 10 December 2006, following line improvements. On 9 December 2007, the line was extended from Birmensdorf to Affoltern am Albis.
With the introduction of the new timetable in late 2015, the western terminus of the service was switched from Affoltern am Albis to Niederweningen. The stations between Zürich Altstetten and Affoltern am Albis that are no longer served by the S15 are now served by the S14.[1]
