Kloten is a railway station in the Swiss canton of Zurich and municipality of Kloten. The station is located on the Zurich to Winterthur line and is an intermediate stop on Zurich S-Bahn line S7.[1] [2] [3]
Although the station is situated only from the main terminal of Zurich Airport, it has been bypassed by the opening, in 1980, of a new line directly serving the Zürich Airport railway station in the basement of that terminal.[3] Kloten is now only visited by the S7 and freight trains, while all other passenger trains on the line servethe airport.
Kloten consists of a single island platform providing access to tracks 3 and 4. Trains to use track 3, while trains to Zürich use track 4.[4] No platforms serve tracks 1 and 2. [5]
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 tunnel runs between Lindenstrasse and Breitistrasse, connecting the platform with the station building and parking lot.[1] [5] Bus routes 732, 733, 735, and 766 stop at the entrance on Lindenstrasse; buses 731 and 736 stop on Breitistrasse.[6]
