History
Before June 2014, S24 referred to a shorter line, running only between Zürich Hauptbahnhof and Horgen Oberdorf. This overlapped with service S21, which connected Thalwil and Zug. Prior to 2012, the S21 also served Sihlbrugg station, situated between Baar and Horgen and permanently closed in that year.
In 2014, the S24 was extended at its southern end to Zug in replacement of the S21, which was then discontinued. At its northern end, it was extended to Zürich Oerlikon in order to provide service to Zürich Wipkingen station, which lost its previous service by lines S2, S8 and S14 when they were diverted to use the Weinberg Tunnel
The Weinberg Tunnel (german: Weinbergtunnel) is a railway tunnel in the Swiss city of Zürich. The tunnel runs from the western approaches to Zürich Hauptbahnhof railway station, east under the station and city centre before turning north and s ...
. In late 2015, the S24 was further extended from Zürich Oerlikon to Zürich Flughafen, Winterthur, Schaffhausen and Thayngen, in order to replace service by the S16 which was curtailed to Zürich Airport..
In December 2021, the stop in Kemptthal will be swapped from the S7 to the S24, to improve stability and punctuality in the very busy Winterthur-Effretikon part. In the evenings from 9:20 p.m., when the S24 only runs on the Zug–Effretikon section, the S7 will keep stopping in Kemptthal.[https://zueriost.ch/blaulicht-und-verkehr/2021-03-09/mehr-busse-gibts-im-oberland-erst-ab-ende-2022]
