La Tour-de-Trême railway station (French: Gare de La Tour-de-Trême), is a railway station in the municipality of Bulle, in the Swiss canton of Fribourg. It is an intermediate stop on the standard gauge Bulle–Broc railway line of Transports publics Fribourgeois.
The Chemins de fer électriques de la Gruyère constructed the Bulle–Broc railway line in 1912. La Tour-de-Trême opened on 29 January.[5] The line was built as a 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) metre gauge line. The line and station were closed between April 2021 and December 2023 for rebuilding as a 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge line. This permitted direct operation to via Fribourg/Freiburg to Bern. The line fully reopened on 24 August 2023.[6] As part of the project the station was rebuilt to be accessible, with a new 150 metres (490 ft) platform.[7]
