Operations[]

The S7 operates hourly between Puidoux and Vevey over the Vevey–Chexbres line. The line, 7.8 kilometres (4.8 mi) long, connects two major main lines: the Simplon and the Lausanne–Bern line. The S7 is the only service over the line.^[3]

History[]

RER Vaud introduced the S7 designation with the December 2015 timetable change, replacing the S31. Both routes operated between Puidoux and Vevey. The train service between those two places has long been called the "train of the vines" (French: Train des Vignes), dating back to private operation by the Chemin de fer Vevey–Chexbres [fr].^[4]
