The train station today
As a saving measure by the Swiss Federal Railways , regional traffic between Frick and Brugg was discontinued in 1993 . The railway underpass is still part of a hiking trail. The passage to the platform, which "only" served travelers in the direction of Brugg, was bricked up. Thus the Effingen station became a ghost station .
The train station is far away from the center of the village of Effingen , at the municipal boundary of Zeihen . For a number of years, the Postbus on the Effingen-Zeihen- Herznach line only drove during off -peak times and on Sundays on request (so-called on- call bus ). With the timetable change in December 2011, the on-call bus system was discontinued, which means that prior (telephone) reservations are no longer necessary. At the tunnel entrance there is now a military installation. There the sappers work on the track construction and try out the emergency.
