Had hoped to leave luggage there, as I know I can do at the Lausanne train station but The SBB site surprisingly says it is not an option. Anyone have reliable current info? Thanks in advance, travelers!

There is no office, but about a thousand lockers of various sizes.

There is no manned left luggage counter. Lockers are still there (and in many other Swiss stations).
You can see it on the station plan here: https://www.sbb.ch/content/dam/infrastruktur/trafimage/bahnhofplaene/plan-zuerich-hb-a4.pdf

Actually P4 is lost items and Swiss Air Luggage check. The lockers are on a mezzanine down a level. See the escalators at M4.

Chris F: (Just for my personal information) When did they do away with the 'Left Luggage' counter? I never really knew why it was there if there were also lockers, but it was...Thanks!

One can only store stuff in lockers for a limited amount of time. Something like 48 hours. Whereas the luggage counter would store items on a long term basis; weeks at a time.

Thanks all, for the helpful responses. I ended up not using lockers but it was good to know they were an option, as well as to delineate the difference between "left luggage" and lockers. Happy travels!
