Location

History

Prior to 2019, the station was located at the southern end of the Place de la Gare. The standard gauge Bulle–Romont railway line terminated at the station, while interchange was possible between the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge Bulle–Broc and Palézieux–Bulle–Montbovon lines. A major renovation project, scheduled to be completed in 2023, is building a new station slightly to the north on Rue Rieter. As part of this project the Bulle–Broc will be converted to standard gauge.[4]
