I am a senior travelling with my wife in August on a Eurorail pass and want to store a big suitcase at the Zurich train station for six days before we fly back to Canada. Any information about the facilities there would be most helpful. Thanks

Super easy to use. The day I was there, there was a lot of availability and it's a very large area, however, I wasn't there in August. I paid at the locker with my credit card and didn't have to talk to anyone. Instructions were in English.

There is a manned storage facility, as well as lockers that take credit cards. I am not sure how long one can store luggage in lockers for. I know at the airport, the longest storage period for some lockers is 72 hours.

If you want to store the suitcase for 6 days I would go to the manned counter, as maximum duration you can store something in the new lockers is 96 hours.

At the luggage deposit counter you can have your stuff stored up to a month. But you do need to take opening hours in to account.
What you could also do is send your luggage to the Airport directly. You can do that form most stations in Switzerland. You can then pick it up there when you check in.
