Bonfol railway station (French: Gare de Bonfol) is a railway station in the municipality of Bonfol, in the Swiss canton of Jura. It is the northern terminus of the standard gauge Porrentruy–Bonfol railway line of Chemins de fer du Jura.[1] The line formerly continued across the French border to Pfetterhouse; passenger service ended 1946 and the line was abandoned in 1970.[4]
The station was renovated in 2022 as part of a larger rehabilitation of the Porrentruy–Bonfol railway line. Train services were occasionally replaced by buses, and passengers boarded from temporary platforms 350 metres (1,150 ft) south of the station.[5][6]
