Kloten Balsberg railway station

Kloten, Italy

Kloten Balsberg is a railway station in the municipality of Kloten, in the Swiss canton of Zurich. It lies within fare zone 121 of the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV). The station is located on a variant of the multi-stranded Zurich–Winterthur railway line and is served by S-Bahn line S7. It is an int

erchange point between the Zurich S-Bahn and the Stadtbahn Glattal light rail system. The station was originally situated on the Wettingen–Effretikon line of the Swiss National Railway (Schweizerische Nationalbahn; SNB), which opened in 1877. This SNB became bankrupt in 1878. The line was then taken over by the Swiss Northeastern Railway (Schweizerische Nordostbahn; NOB), becoming part of their Zurich–Winterthur line. It has been part of the network of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) since 1902. Although the station is situated only 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from the main terminal of Zurich Airport, it was bypassed by the opening, in 1980, of a new line directly serving the Zurich Airport railway station in the basement of that terminal. Since 2008, the Stadtbahn Glattal has provided a new direct route to the airport.
