Operations

The S3 operates every hour between Allaman and Lausanne, using the Lausanne–Geneva line. It makes all local stops. It is paired with the S4, providing half-hourly service between the two cities.[3]

History

The S3 was one of the six original lines of the RER Vaud, then called the Vaud Express Network (French: Réseau express vaudois, REV), when that system was established in December 2004. It ran hourly between Allaman and Villeneuve, on the Simplon line.[4] With the December 2020 timetable change, the S3 was cut back to Lausanne, with the S5 taking over the Lausanne–Villeneuve service.[5]
