Route
S 14 Affoltern am Albis – Zürich HB – Oerlikon – Uster – Wetzikon – Hinwil
The line runs from Affoltern am Albis to Zürich Hauptbahnhof, before continuing to Hinwil, the capital of the district of Hinwil in the Zürcher Oberland. It serves the following stations:[1][2]
- Affoltern am Albis
- Hedingen
- Bonstetten-Wettswil
- Birmensdorf
- Urdorf Weihermatt
- Urdorf
- Zürich Altstetten
- Zurich Hauptbahnhof

- Nänikon-Greifensee
- Uster

The service uses the Altstetten–Zürich–Oerlikon cross-city line, opened in 2015 and including the Weinberg Tunnel, between Altstetten and Oerlikon.
Rolling stock
Initially, all services were operated by Re 450 class locomotives pushing or pulling double-deck passenger carriages.
However, the line is now mostly operated by RABe 514 class trains. In December 2011, the first of the RABe 511 class trains entered service on the S14.[3]
Scheduling
The train frequency is usually 30 minutes and the trip takes 70 minutes.[2]
History
Originally the S14 started in the terminal platforms at Zürich Hauptbahnhof, and ran via the Wipkingen Tunnel to Oerlikon and on to Hinwil. With the completion of the Altstetten–Zürich–Oerlikon cross-city line in 2015, it was diverted at Oerlikon to use the Weinberg Tunnel and the low-level through platforms of the Hauptbahnhof, before being extended to Affoltern am Albis to replace the S15 which was in turn diverted elsewhere. This diversion and extension means that the line no longer serves the railway stations of Wipkingen (on the original S14 route) or Hardbrücke (on the original S15 route).[4][1]
