Operations

The S30 runs half-hourly between Yverdon-les-Bains and Fribourg/Freiburg over the Fribourg–Yverdon line. The line, 49.9 kilometres (31.0 mi) long, connects two major main lines: the Jura Foot and the Lausanne–Bern line. The S30 is the only service over the line. ^[3]

History

RER Fribourg introduced the S30 designation on 14 December 2014 for an half-hourly service between Yverdon-les-Bains and Fribourg/Freiburg on weekdays until 8 pm. ^[4] In December 2020, the half-hourly service was extended from weekdays only to every day of the week and further in the evenings. ^[5]

From 28 June 2025, S30 trains will continue to run on lines S40/S41, offering a new link every half-hour, without changing, between Lausanne and Yverdon-les-Bains, via Fribourg/Freiburg. ^[6]
