The Gare de Neuchâtel (German Bahnhof Neuenburg or Bahnhof Neuchâtel ) is the most important train station in the city of Neuchâtel and the canton of the same name . Within the city limits still exist the SBB -Bahnhof Neuchâtel-Serrières and four stops the overland train to Boudry.
history
The station was opened in 1859 when the Yverdon-les-Bains – Le Landeron line was opened by Franco-Suisse and the Compagnie de l'Ouest Suisse . With the opening of the lines to La Chaux-de-Fonds and Berne and the closing of the gap to Biel , the previous station no longer met the requirements, so that in 1936 a new building was inaugurated. In 1987 a TGV stopped in Neuchâtel for the first time . On the occasion of Expo.02 , the station was rebuilt again.
Infrastructure and facility
The station is owned by the SBB. Seven platform tracks are available for traffic on three central platforms and the main platform. Track 1 is used almost exclusively by the S-Bahn trains from / to Bern and Friborg . The ICN use platform 3 to the west and platform 4 to the east. The remaining platforms are not clearly distributed.
There is a multi-storey car park with 190 parking spaces under the station, and various restaurants and shops, such as a McDonald’s branch and a Coop Pronto shop, are located in the station itself .
There is left-hand traffic on the escalators .
traffic
As usual in Switzerland, long-distance traffic is operated by the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) . SBB shares regional traffic with BLS and Transports Publics Neuchâtelois ( transN ) . The TRANSN also operate the Neuchâtel bus lines and the funicular.
