Bern Wankdorf railway station (German: Bahnhof Bern Wankdorf) is a railway station in the municipality of Bern, in the Swisscanton of Bern. It is the first station east of Bern and is an intermediate stop on multiple railway lines.[1]
Bern Wankdorf is an example of a keilbahnhof; the various lines converge west of the station, and it has separate north and south platforms. In the south, adjacent to Max-Dätwyler-Platz, are an island platform and a side platform, serving tracks 1–3. Track 4 is reserved for future expansion. These platforms serve trains on the Bern–Thun line. In the north are another island platform and side platform, serving tracks 5–7. These platforms serve trains on the Biel/Bienne–Bern and Olten–Bern lines.[4]
HistoryEdit
The station was expanded between 2016–2023 as part of the Wylerfeld "unbundling" project (German: Entflechtung Wylerfeld), which created a new flying junction for the Bern–Thun line directly west of the station. Another station platform and track were built to accommodate planned additional service, with room for yet another track on the south side of the station.[5]
