Sugnens railway station (French: Gare de Sugnens) is a railway station in the municipality of Montilliez, in the Swiss canton of Vaud. It is located on the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) Lausanne–Bercher line of the Chemin de fer Lausanne-Échallens-Bercher (LEB).[1][3]
Sugnens station opened to service in 1889, as an intermediate station on the Compagnie du Central Vaudois line between Échallens and Bercher stations. Although the Central Vaudois was nominally an independent company, its line was operated by the Lausanne-Échallens line, with which it connected at Échallens. The two lines merged as the LEB in 1913, and were electrified in 1935.[4]
