The S3 is a railway service of RER Vaud that provides hourly service between Allaman and Lausanne in the Swiss canton of Vaud. Swiss Federal Railways, the national railway company of Switzerland, operates the service.

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]
