Kloten is a railway station in the municipality of Kloten in the Swiss canton of Zurich. The station is located on the Zurich to Winterthur line and is an intermediate stop on Zurich S-Bahn line S7.[2][3][4] It lies within fare zone 121 of the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV).[5]
Although the station is situated only 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) from the main terminal of Zurich Airport, it has been bypassed by the opening, in 1980, of a new line directly serving the Zurich Airport railway station in the basement of that terminal.[4] Kloten is now only visited by the S7 and freight trains, while all other passenger trains on the line serve the airport.
Layout and facilities
[edit]Kloten station consists of a single island platform providing access to tracks 3 and 4. Trains to Winterthur use track 3, while trains to Zurich use track 4.[6] No platforms serve tracks 1 and 2.[7]
The main entrance and station building is located on Lindenstrasse on the north side of the tracks. On the south side is a car and bicycle parking lot on Breitistrasse. A pedestrian underpass runs between Lindenstrasse and Breitistrasse, connecting the platform with the station building and parking lot.[2][7]
