History

Leading up to the December 2013 timetable change, the service pattern on the Sulgen–Gossau line was an hourly service (provided by the S5) between Weinfelden and St. Gallen, supplemented by additional trains during peak hours. The relaunched St. Gallen S-Bahn kept this service pattern and designated the additional peak services S55. [8] The December 2018 timetable change eliminated the S55; service between Weinfelden and Bischofszell Stadt increased to half-hourly, with some of the additional trains continuing to St. Gallen. [9]

The S5 was extended to St. Margrethen in December 2021, replacing the S3. [10] Weekday service between Bischofszell Stadt and St. Gallen increased to half-hourly on 10 December 2023. [11]
