History
Opened14 October 1855 (1855-10-14)

Winterthur-Grüze railway station (Template:Lang-de) serves Grüze, an industrial zone in district number 2, Winterthur, a city in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland.

Opened in 1855, the station was built as a junction station and is the largest freight hub in Winterthur. It forms part of both the Tösstalbahn and the Winterthur–Wil railway. At the moment, it has no direct connection to the city bus service.

The roofs of the station platforms are listed buildings and are unique in Switzerland.

Services

Zürich S-Bahn

The station is served by three lines of the Zürich S-Bahn.

Night trains

One night train operated by THURBO runs through the station heading for Wil. The Tösstal is served by night buses from Winterthur Hauptbahnhof and therefore has no night train.
