Palézieux railway station serves the village of Palézieux, in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland.
There are two railway stations in the area, at Palézieux-Village and Palézieux-Gare. Palézieux-Village station is on Swiss Federal Railways' Broye valley line (from Payerne) which then connects with their Olten-Lausanne mainline, at a junction just to the north of Palézieux-Gare. The station at Palézieux-Gare (which is called simply Palézieux) is 20.6 kilometres (12.8 mi) northeast of Lausanne station (by rail) and is also the terminus of the metre gauge Transports publics Fribourgeois (TPF) railway line to the Gruyère. It is possible to travel by train between the two stations in the Palézieux area.
The station has two parts, one for the national railways (SBB-CFF-FFS) and the other for a local metre gauge line; it is the only station on the Transports publics Fribourgeois network which is in the canton of Vaud.
There are three through-platforms on the standard gauge SBB-CFF-FFS mainline, with further platforms at the adjacent metre gauge railway terminus. The station is staffed by SBB-CFF-FFS (ticket sales, etc.) Monday to Friday. There are 179 car parking spaces.
On the Olten-Lausanne mainline, InterRegio (IR) trains call at Palézieux, whilst InterCity (IC) trains do not (they pass through, not stopping between Lausanne and Fribourg). This provides the station with regular, direct passenger trains from this station to Geneva, Geneva Airport, Lausanne, Romont, Fribourg, Bern, and Luzern.
There are few trains that call at the stations between Romont and Palézieux (including Oron) because of the busy mainline nature of the railway. Monday-Friday there are some (Regio) passenger services provided in the early morning and in the evening.
