New since the timetable change: The IC 1 trains from Geneva Airport to St Gallen (and several others) make a stop in Renens VD. This means that the Lausanne train station, which is bordering on its limits, can be relieved somewhat.

It doesn't always have to be the Château de Chillon... In Rivaz, near the Château de Glérolles, a fishing boat chugs by, making the train in the background almost seem irrelevant, although the SBB RABDe 502 is rarely seen here. August 19, 2024 

On the Lausanne - Biel/Bienne line, long-distance traffic is firmly in the hands of the SBB ICN RABDe 500. However, due to the construction-related closure of the Fribourg - Bern line, two additional train pairs per day run from Neuchâtel to Lausanne and back to relieve the scheduled ICN services. Typically, one of these train pairs is operated by two RABe 502 "Twindexx" locomotives. The photo shows two of the rarely seen Twindxx RABe 502 locomotives traveling from Neuchâtel to Lausanne between Ependes (VD) and Essert-Pittet. The Lausanne - Yverdon line opened on May 7, 1855, from Bussigny to Yverdon, and two years later, service to Lausanne began. On November 1, 1921, the Chavornay-Ependes section was upgraded to double track, and on May 14, 1933, the Ependes-Yverdon section of the line, which had been electrically operated since February 1, 1925, was upgraded to double track. It should be noted that the double track upgrade of the Lausanne-Bienne/Bienne line began in stages as early as 1872 and is now nearing completion with the final section, Ligerz-Twann.
