Location

History

After some argument between the inhabitants of Brunnen and those of Ingenbohl about the location,[6] the station was opened in 1882, when the Gotthardbahn opened the section from Immensee to Bellinzona. In 1903 the station was rebuilt because the older station had become too small for the amount of traffic.[7] In 2004, the station became part of the networks of the S-Bahn Luzern and Stadtbahn Zug.

Services

In the 1960s and '70s, Brunnen hosted international trains to Lecce, in Italy, and Hook of Holland, in the Netherlands.

Today Brunnen is served by an hourly InterRegio trains between Locarno and Arth-Goldau which continue alternately either to Basel SBB or to Zürich HB. The station is also served by line S2 of the Zug Stadtbahn, which operates hourly between Zug, Arth-Goldau and Erstfeld, and is the terminus of line S3 of the Lucerne S-Bahn, which operates hourly to and from Lucerne.[8]

Goods station

Until 2004 there was a Service Center of SBB Cargo to the north of the station. Today, the buildings are partly used by a Kart Racing track. The remainder of the building is scheduled to be demolished in the near future, in order to allow the construction of a new block of houses.
