Genève-Eaux-Vives railway station (French: Gare de Genève-Eaux-Vives) is a railway station in the municipality of Geneva, in the Swiss canton of Geneva. It is an intermediate stop on the standard gauge CEVA orbital railway line of Swiss Federal Railways.[1]
The station originally opened on 27 May 1888 as Vollandes Station (French: Gare des Vollandes).[5] At that time it was the western terminus of the Annemasse-Genève-Eaux-Vives line to Annemasse. This station was closed in 2011, and later demolished, to permit the construction of a new underground station on the CEVA line. The station reopened in December 2019 as part of the launch of the new Léman Express network.
