As of the December 2022 timetable change, all services are operated by Re 450 class locomotives pushing or pulling double-deck passenger carriages.[6]

Scheduling

Between Uster and Rafz, trains run every 30 minutes throughout the day. At peak periods all trains continue from Rafz to Schaffhausen, but at other times alternate trains terminate at Rafz. The journey time from Uster to Schaffhausen takes 82 minutes.[5]

History

Prior to the timetable revision of late 2015, the section of the S9 between Zurich and Uster operated much as today. However west of Zurich, the trains operated to Zug via Affoltern am Albis. The sections of line no longer covered by the S9 are now served by the S5.[7][4]
