Switzerland’s Federal Office of Transport (BAV) has approved construction of the initial 4.6km phase of the light rail network Lausanne.
The 10-station Line T1 will run west from an interchange with metro lines M1 and M2 at Flon in the city centre, following Rue de Genéve and Avenue des Morges to Préslaz-les-Roses in the district of Malley and continuing to Perrelet, where the line’s depot will be located, before terminating outside the Swiss Federal Railways station at Renens.
Construction is expected to take four years to complete and an extension from Renens to Villars-Sainte-Croix is proposed in the longer-term.
