Location
Rüti ZH railway station (Switzerland)

Rüti ZH is a railway station in the municipality of Rüti in the Swiss canton of Zurich. The station is located on the Wallisellen to Rapperswil line just south-west of its junction with the Tösstalbahn from Winterthur via Wald. It is served by passenger trains of the Zurich S-Bahn.

The station opened in 1859, shortly after the opening of the Uster to Rapperswil portion of the Wallisellen to Rapperswil line in 1858. Although the line was originally promoted by an independent company, by the time Rüti station opened it was owned by the Vereinigte Schweizerbahnen (VSB) railway company.

The line to Wald opened in 1876, making Rüti into a junction station. The line was independently owned but operated by the VSB. The VSB became part of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) in 1902, at which point operation of the line to Wald was taken over by the Tösstalbahn (TTB) that already ran from Winterthur to Wald. Both the line to Wald and the TTB itself became part of the SBB in 1918.

The Wallisellen to Rapperswil line was electrified in 1932, and the line to Wald in 1944.

The station is served by Zurich S-Bahn lines S5 and S15, which run between Zürich and Rapperswil. Between them, they provide four trains per hour throughout the day, with a journey time from Zürich Hauptbahnhof of just over 30 minutes.
