Léman Express

The Léman Express, is a planned commuter rail network for the transborder agglomeration of Grand Genève (Greater Geneva) in west Switzerland and the French Alps (Haute-Savoie). The local rail network in Geneva consists of two short lines and is not really comparable to the 'RER'/S-Bahn networks of major cities. However, in 1994, local trains between La Plaine (in Dardagny) and Geneva's central Cornavin station were branded as the Rhône Express Régional (abbreviated to 'RER'), similar to Paris' (Réseau Express Régional), using Tram-trains derived from those on Lausanne métro's line M1. These special vehicles are presently required on the line as it is electrified using direct current, unlike the rest of the Swiss Federal Railway network. Local trains to Bellegarde-sur-Valserine (in France)
