S9 (St. Gallen S-Bahn)
The S9 is a railway service of the St. Gallen S-Bahn that provides half-hourly service between Wil and Wattwil over the Wil–Ebnat-Kappel line. THURBO, a joint venture of Swiss Federal Railways and the canton of Thurgau, operates the service. OperationsThe S9 operates every 30 minutes between Wil and Wattwil, using the Wil–Ebnat-Kappel line. It is the only service over that line between Wil and Lichtensteig.[3] RouteThe route follows the left bank of the River Thur through the lower Toggenburg Valley.
HistoryUntil the December 2013 timetable change, every other S9 service continued south to Nesslau-Neu St. Johann, providing hourly service to the remainder of the Wil–Ebnat-Kappel line and the short section of the Bodensee–Toggenburg line between Nesslau-Neu St. Johann and Ebnat-Kappel. With the timetable change, the S9 was cut back to its present terminus and the former S8 (which later merged with the former S1) extended to Nesslau-Neu St. Johann.[5][6] References
