traffic

Oberglatt has been accessible by rail since May 1, 1865. The station is the starting point of the Wehntalbahn to Dielsdorf - Niederweningen , which branches off the main line Oerlikon - Bülach of the former Bülach-Regensberg-Bahn (BR). The railway lines have belonged to the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) since 1902 , and the station has been served by S-Bahn Zurich trains since May 1990 . Until 2015, the half-hourly S 5 Rafz - Bülach - / Niederweningen - Oberglatt - Zurich HB - Uster - Pfäffikon SZ in the Zürcher Unterland ran with two end points, which were served alternately from Oberglatt. The S55 Niederweningen - Oberglatt, which ran from December 10, 2006 to December 13, 2015, made a second connection every hour from Wehntal and Dielsdorf to the S 5 in Oberglatt during the day . Since the opening of the cross-city line on December 13, 2015, the S 15 Rapperswil - Uster - Zurich HB - Oberglatt - Niederweningen has now been running every half hour .
