SBB shortens train headways at Lucerne station
- Location
- Lucerne station / Gütsch approach, Central Switzerland · 🇨🇭 Switzerland
- Project
- Lucerne station train-headway optimization
- Investment
- approx. CHF 46 million
- Status
- Completed (works finished end of 2024)
SBB renewed signaling and track systems on the approach to Lucerne station in the Gütsch section, used by around 680 trains a day, adding a new switch connection at Lucerne station and a new rail-technology building at Gütsch. This shortens the train headway from about three minutes to just over two, safeguarding the hub's capacity. The nighttime works ran from September 2022 until end of 2024 (including a 51-hour full closure in March 2023 for switch replacement) and cost around CHF 46 million.
