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. [1]
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]
As of the December 2024 timetable change, [update] the following services stop at Grandson: [13] [14]
