History

Until the December 2013 timetable change, every other S9 service continued south to Nesslau-Neu St. Johann, providing hourly service to the remainder of the Wil–Ebnat-Kappel line and the short section of the Bodensee–Toggenburg line between Nesslau-Neu St. Johann and Ebnat-Kappel. With the timetable change, the S9 was cut back to its present terminus and the former S8 (which later merged with the former S1) extended to Nesslau-Neu St. Johann.
