S24 may refer to:

S24 (ZVV)

The S24 is a regional railway line of the Zürich S-Bahn of the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV), Zürich transportation network. The line was significantly extended in June 2014, and has subsumed the previous S21 line that previously provided service over part of its extended route.

Route

The line runs from Zurich Oerlikon to Zug via Zürich Hauptbahnhof and Thalwil.

Before June 2014, S24 referred to a shorter line, running only between Zürich Hauptbahnhof and Horgen Oberdorf. It was extended at its southern end to Zug in replacement of the now discontinued S21 line. At its northern end, it was extended to Zurich Oerlikon in order to provide service to Zurich Wipkingen station, which lost its previous service by lines S2, S8 and S14 when they were diverted to use the Weinberg Tunnel. As such, the S24 is now the only S-Bahn line that reverses direction in the Hauptbahnhof rather than using one of the station's underground through platforms.
