Essert-sous-Champvent railway station (French: Gare de Essert-sous-Champvent) is a railway station in the municipality of Champvent, in the Swiss canton of Vaud. It is an intermediate stop and a request stop on the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge Yverdon–Ste-Croix line of Travys.[1]
Following the December 2024 timetable change, rail services at this station have been limited to shorten travel times along the line and ensure better connections with long-distance trains at Yverdon-les-Bains. Consequently, on weekdays between 5 am and 9 pm, trains no longer stop at this station; instead, an existing bus service frequency was increased, it operates to Yverdon-les-Bains.[4]
