S 26 Winterthur HB – Bauma – Rüti ZH
Operates only on weekends to Rapperswil.
Also known as the Tösstalbahn, the line runs from the south end of the Zürichsee (Lake Zürich) in Rapperswil – through the Zürcher Oberland partly following Jona river – on the eastern side of the Canton of Zürich – then through the Tösstal (Töss valley) to the other terminus in Winterthur.
Initially, the usual motive power used on this route was the RBDe 560, with occasional RBe 540 supplements. Einheitswagen ("standard coaches") I or II as well as a BDt or Bt control car made up the rest of the consist, all of which were generally in the NPZ (blue over white) livery.
However, this mix of rolling stock has now been widely replaced by the Stadler GTW provided by THURBO.
As of 2006[update], the train frequency was once every 60 minutes. The trip takes from one hour and nine minutes to one hour and seventeen minutes.
In addition to the hourly service along the full route, some S26 services only run over part of the route on a different hourly frequency, producing higher overall frequencies on certain parts of the route (Winterthur-Bauma, for example).
