investment
Similar to the Montreux train station, the transition to the main platform is not on the ground floor of the station building, but on the first floor. In addition to some freight tracks, the track system includes a side and two middle barriers.
Tracks 1 and 2 are reserved for SBB traffic on the Simplon Railway (there was a through track between these tracks, which was dismantled in the 1990s). The Train des Vignes runs as the S31 to Puidoux-Chexbres from platform 4, which is located on the middle platform with platform 2 . Track 3 was a short track on this central platform and was abandoned in 2016 for the purpose of widening the platform. There is another central platform with tracks 5 (standard gauge) and 7 (meter gauge, which forms a small curve in the western part, usually only serves the traffic of the MVR to Blonay and Les Pléiades ).
