Infrastructure
Tracks
In contrast to other S-Bahns such as the Zurich S-Bahn or the RER Ile-de-France , the Vaudois RER does not have its own infrastructure. The entire line network runs on the tracks of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). The SBB are the main operator of the RER.
Train stations
The lines that run through Lausanne station stop at the same platforms as the national trains. The Prilly-Malley stop was specially built for the RER.
vehicles
NPZ Domino , RABe 523 FLIRT and RABe 511KISS , both operated by Stadler Rail , operate on the RER Vaud .
