Location

Grandson railway station (French: Gare de Grandson) is a railway station in the municipality of Grandson, in the Swiss canton of Vaud. It is an intermediate stop on the standard gauge Jura Foot line of Swiss Federal Railways.

History

Grandson railway station was inaugurated in 1859 with the opening of the Yverdon-les-Bains - Vaumarcus section of the Jura Foot line.

The electrification of the line, from Yverdon-les-Bains to Biel/Bienne, was commissioned on 23 December 1927.

Since the timetable change on 13 December 2015, the station has become the terminus of the RER Vaud, replacing Yverdon-les-Bains railway station. This extension required the construction of a platform along a former freight train overpass track, reused for stopping RER Vaud trains and reversing them at the platform. These are 55 centimetres high and 225 metres long.

Services

As of the December 2024 timetable change, the following services stop at Grandson:

• RER Vaud R1 / R2: half-hourly service to Cully.
