Augsburg-Hochzoll station is a station in the Hochzoll district east of central Augsburg in the German state of Bavaria. Directly west of the station the Paar Valley Railway separates from the Munich–Augsburg railway running from Augsburg Central Station (Hauptbahnhof). It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 3 station.
Hochzoll station takes an unusual form: since it is located immediately after the tracks towards Munich or Ingolstadt separate, the platforms on the two lines are somewhat separated: platform tracks 5 and 6 are located on the Paar Valley line with the platforms on the outside of the tracks, while platform tracks 3 and 4 in contrast are on a central platform on the Munich–Augsburg line. There is no platform on tracks 1 and 2 of the Munich–Augsburg line. These tracks are now only used for non-stopping passenger services and freight traffic.
The station building, which lies between track 4 and 5, used to have a ticket office that was open on weekdays and ticket machines. The ticket office is now closed and the ticket machines have been relocated on the newly built platforms.
Bahnhof Augsburg-Hochzoll bus stop is located on Hochzoller Straße, which runs under the two sets of tracks east of the station building. It is served by city bus route 29 and has a kiosk, where tickets for regional transport can be obtained. The kiosk is accommodated temporarily in a container. It has not been determined whether the operator will receive a new building or even be installed in the station building, which is not used for rail purposes.
A Bike&Ride facility with about 256 covered bicycle parking places was erected between November 2007 and April 2008.
The station is served by all Regionalbahn and Regional-Express services that leave Augsburg Central Station to the east and then run via Aichach to Ingolstadt or via Mering to Munich. The odd layout of the station means that there is some distance between some platforms. Long-distance traffic does not stop at Augsburg-Hochzoll.
