The S3 was a railway service of the St. Gallen S-Bahn that provided hourly service between St. Gallen and St. Margrethen, in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen. THURBO, a joint venture of Swiss Federal Railways and the canton of Thurgau, operated the service. It was replaced by a lengthened S5 as part of the December 2021 timetable change.
The S3 operated every hour between St. Gallen and St. Margrethen, using the Rorschach–St. Gallen and Chur–Rorschach lines. The S3, S2, S4, and InterRegio 13 combined for service every fifteen minutes between the two cities.[2] In St. Margrethen, trains made a cross-platform connection with the S3 of the Vorarlberg S-Bahn.
