history
With the opening of the Gäubahn between Olten and Solothurn of the Swiss Central Railway (SCB), Oensingen was connected to the Swiss railway network on December 4, 1876. At the same time there were plans for the Wasserfallenbahn between Basel and Bern via Waldenburg and Balsthal and the Jura-Gotthard Railway between Delémont and Altdorf via Lucerne. However, because these plans failed, the Balsthal-based industry launched the Oensingen-Balsthal Railway, whose 4.01 km branch line was put into operation in 1899. In 1902 the Gäubahn came into possession of the SBB through the nationalization of the SCB.
In 1907, the Langenthal-Jura Railway , which ran from Langenthal to Oensingen Schulhaus, was joined by a meter-gauge railway. The LJB operated between Niederbipp and Oensingen parallel to the SBB-Gäubahn. Initially, the LJB and the SNB that followed in Niederbipp in the direction of Solothurn were able to hold their own against the Gäubahn despite the longer journey time between Solothurn and Oensingen, but when the SBB expanded regional traffic on this, the number of passengers fell. For this reason, the section Oensingen – Oensingen Schulhaus was closed in 1928 and the Oensingen train station became the only train station in the community. In 1943 the Niederbipp – Oensingen SBB section was also closed.
The introduction of a new regular timetable on the OeBB increased the number of passengers. As of the 2012 timetable change, the Niederbipp – Oensingen section of the LJB / SNB successor company Aare Seeland was reactivated, but the routing is not identical to the line that existed between 1907 and 1943.
Oensingen train station has been modernized since August 2015. The external appearance of the reception building was brought closer to its original condition. 2019 [date] the station is to be converted for disabled people. Because of the construction work, no long-distance trains will stop in Oensingen for six months. During rush hour, a RegioExpress shuttle train will run between Olten and Oensingen.
Railway system
The Oensingen train station consists of three parts: The Gäubahn traffic is handled on tracks 3 and 4, and the OeBB has its platform on the other side of the reception building. The two standard-gauge lines are linked in such a way that Oensingen is a wedge station. The meter-gauge part of the Aare Seeland mobil consists of tracks 7 and 8.
