LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND – Repairs on the Lausanne-Villeneuve rail line will mean buses rather than trains in the evening for the next four months, says the CFF rail company. Travelers should expect longer journeys as a result.

The works begin 24 August and will finish 4 December, Monday to Friday with the exception of 21 September, a holiday in the region.

Work will be done at night to avoid busy travel times. As a result:

  • RER S1 and S3, part of the Vaud RER will not run starting at 21:00 in the direction Lausanne–Villeneuve and from 21:24 in the direction Villeneuve – Lausanne.
  • Buses will operate every 30 minutes to replace the RER trains, but note that the schedule will be changed.
  • Regio Express trains between Lausanne and Vevey will also not run and travelers are asked to take the InterRegio trains, which will run on their normal schedule.
