Winterthur is Switzerland's fifth-busiest station, and is a major node between Switzerland's largest railway nucleus in Zurich and places in Eastern Switzerland (such as St. Gallen and Schaffhausen), as well as Germany (Konstanz, Munich), and Austria (Bregenz). The station is served by trains on Zurich's suburban S-Bahn network, as well as by InterRegio (IR) and InterCity (IC) and EuroCity (EC) trains, with all through passenger trains making a stop. It is directly linked to Zürich Flughafen – Zurich Airport's railway station – within 15 minutes travelling time seven times per hour. Zürich Hauptbahnhof (Zürich HB) can be reached with up to 16 direct connections per hour, the fastest of which takes 22 minutes. The station has five standard-gauge platforms serving nine tracks and is the central node of the local Stadtbus Winterthur network and regional bus services (e.g. PostBus Switzerland). All public transport in and around Winterthur is part of the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV) integrated fare network.
