Chêne-Bourg railway station (French: Gare de Chêne-Bourg) is a railway station in the municipality of Chêne-Bourg, in the Swiss canton of Geneva. It is an intermediate stop on the standard gauge CEVA orbital railway line of Swiss Federal Railways.
History
The original station opened on 27 May 1888, on the Annemasse-Genève-Eaux-Vives line between Genève-Eaux-Vives and Annemasse.[3] The station closed in 1987 in favor of the newly opened station at Ambilly; this was done so that customs control could be centralized at Genève-Eaux-Vives. The station building was preserved, and re-opened from 2011–2013 to handle TER services after construction on the new CEVA orbital railway line led to the closure of Genève-Eaux-Vives.[4]
As part of the CEVA project, a new underground station was built at Chêne-Bourg; the original station building was moved about 40 metres (130 ft) but remains standing. The new station opened on 15 December 2019.
