However, despite protests from the German authorities, the station was closed by the Swiss due to low passenger numbers.[7][8][9]

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]
