Until December 2010 the next station in the direction towards Bülach, was Altenburg-Rheinau, located in Altenburg, part of Jestetten, in Germany, close to the border with Switzerland. However, despite protests from the German authorities, the station was closed by the Swiss due to low passenger numbers.[7][8][9]
Until the opening of Neuhausen Rheinfall railway station in December 2015, Neuhausen station was a border station for customs purposes. Customs checks could be performed aboard trains and in Neuhausen station by Swiss officials. Systematic passport controls were abolished when Switzerland joined the Schengen Area in 2008.[10][11]
