Line(s) used

The S7 is a railway service of the St. Gallen S-Bahn that provides half-hourly service between Romanshorn and Rorschach, with hourly service from Romanshorn to Weinfelden. Some trains continue from Rorschach to St. Margrethen, Bregenz ( Vorarlberg, Austria) and Lindau ( Bavaria, Germany) along the shores of Lake Constance.

THURBO, a joint venture of Swiss Federal Railways and the canton of Thurgau, operates the service.

Operations

The S7 operates half-hourly over the Lake line between Romanshorn and Rorschach. It is the only service on that section of the line. Every other train operates over the Winterthur–Romanshorn line between Romanshorn and Weinfelden, stopping only at Amriswil. The S10 makes local stops over the line. On weekdays, three trains operate between Romanshorn and Lindau-Reutin via Bregenz; on weekends, this rises to one train every two hours. [4]
