Once a day (and direction), from Monday to Friday, an RE 56 still arrives at Grenchen Nord station in Grenchen Nord.

Once a day (and direction), from Monday to Friday, the IR 56 and RE 56 cross at Grenchen Nord, providing not only a colorful scene but also hope that the Pronturter region will not be "cut off" from the rest of Switzerland in the future. The SBB RABe 522 210 as RE 56 4561 from Bonfol to Biel/Bienne crosses at Grenchen Nord with the BLS RABe 528 132, which is traveling as IR 56 1861 from Biel/Bienne to Basel SBB.

With the 2024/25 timetable change, a new concept was introduced in the Jura region. Among other changes, the RER Jura trains now run every half hour to Delle, but the direct connections to Meroux have been discontinued. In return, SNCF TER trains now run hourly (on weekdays) from Delle to Belfort. The photo from Delle shows the arriving SBB RABe 522 210, which is turning around here for its return journey to Porrentruy, and the SNCF X 73755, operating as a TER to Belfort. May 20, 2026 

At first glance, a mundane picture; but upon closer inspection, the destination display reveals the special feature: The SBB LEX RABe 522 220 is on its way to Vernier as Léman Express 23535 of the new RL7 line! Introduced with the timetable change, the RL7 connects Annemasse directly with Geneva Airport or with Vernier. The trains use the approximately 1 km long tunnel from Châtelaine, which is also used by freight trains on the Bellegarde - Genève La Praille route. Unfortunately, the service, which is based on strong demand, is not very extensive with only four train pairs per day, especially considering that one train pair runs to and from the airport, two trains go to Vernier, but only one returns, and the remaining three trains operate only on the Annemasse - Lancy Pont Rouge section.
