To make sure you can continue to enjoy excellent mobility, we are carrying out various maintenance and modernisation work on our railway infrastructure. We are taking advantage of the summer holiday period, when rail services are significantly less busy, to improve access to trains for people with reduced mobility at several stations. In order to maintain a stable service offer, this work will require the implementation of a special timetable between Lausanne and Brig from 5am on 19 July until 10pm on 15 August.
In addition, the line between Vevey and Aigle will have to be completely closed to rail traffic on the weekend of 7/8 August 2021. There will be three rail replacement bus lines in operation (express, direct and regional). With the exception of the Vevey–Aigle section, the summer timetable will remain valid on the rest of the line over the weekend of 7/8 August 2021.
