History

Grandson railway station was inaugurated in 1859 with the opening of the Yverdon-les-Bains - Vaumarcus section of the Jura Foot line [5] [6] .

The electrification of the line, from Yverdon-les-Bains to Biel/Bienne, was commissioned on 23 December 1927 [5] .

Since the timetable change on 13 December 2015, the station has become the terminus of the RER Vaud, replacing Yverdon-les-Bains railway station [7] [8] [9] . 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 [10] [11] [12] .
