history
Biel / Bienne – Bern railway line
In 1864 the Biel / Bienne-Bern railway line and thus the construction of the Lyss train station was completed.
Lyss – Solothurn railway line
In 1864 the first Lyss-Busswil section of the Lyss-Solothurn line was opened. At the end of 1876, the Busswil-Solothurn line was finally completed. In 1994 the Büren-Solothurn section was shut down, so to this day the trains only run from Lyss to Büren an der Aare.
Kerzers – Lyss railway line
Also in 1876, the Chemins de fer de la Suisse Occidentale opened the Murten-Kerzers-Fräschels railway line. On the same day, the Jura bernois put its section between Fräschels and Lyss into operation, so that the railway line as a whole was operated by two companies, but on a single day.
The train station today
The train station is an important transport hub and is often overloaded during rush hour (as of 2017).
At peak times there are six connections per hour to Bern and Biel / Bienne , two connections to Büren and one connection to Kerzers . The platform on tracks 4 and 5 does not have a wheelchair-accessible entrance.
