Zürich Wollishofen railway station (German: Bahnhof Zürich Wollishofen) is a railway station in the Wollishofen quarter of the Swiss city of Zurich. It is located within fare zone 110 of the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV).[4] The station is situated close to the western shore of Lake Zurich, and adjacent to the shipyard and pier of the Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft, who operate the principal passenger boat services on the lake.
The station is located on the Lake Zürich left bank line, which originally formed part of the Zürich to Lucerne main line, although most main line trains now use the alternative Zimmerberg Base Tunnel routing since it opened in 2003.[5]
Wollishofen station is within walking distance to the Rote Fabrik, a cultural centre used as a music venue.
