Vernand-Camarès railway station (French: Halte de Vernand-Camarès) is a railway station in the Vernand exclave of the municipality of Lausanne, 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). The station has a single track and platform.[1][3]
The station opened in 1936, after the completion of the electrification of the railway. In 2012, the station was rebuilt with a new plaform and shelter on the opposite side of the track to the previous arrangement. The new platform lies between the railway track and the adjacent road, and is accessed by predestrian crossings across the road.[4]
