Operations

The S9 operates every hour between Lausanne and Kerzers, using the Lausanne–Bern line between Lausanne and Palézieux, and the Palézieux–Lyss line between Palézieux and Kerzers. The S9 runs as an express between Lausanne and Palézieux, stopping only at Puidoux. The S5 and S6 make local stops, combining with the S9 and the InterRegio 15 for service roughly ever 15 fifteen minutes. North of Palézieux, the S8 pairs with the S9 for half-hourly service to Payerne except on Sundays. Between Payerne and Kerzers, the Bern S-Bahn S5 runs hourly to Murten/Morat, with limited service to Payerne.[3][4]

History

RER Vaud introduced the S9 designation with the December 2015 timetable change, replacing the S21. Both routes operated between Lausanne and Payerne. The S9 was extended from Payerne to Kerzers in December 2017.
