Travel Information
Final Destination: Biel/Bienne
These services typically depart from gleis (platforms/tracks) 49-50 in Bern station, but they are located at the far western end of the station, so are around a 5 min walk from the main city side entrance.
The route to them from there also isn't particularly obvious, as you'll need to access gleis 9-10 and then walk along to it's far end.
So a simpler route to gleis 49-50 is to access them from the station's secondary entrance on Schanzenstrasse, pictured above.
From here you can head down the escalators or elevators to gleis 9-10 and you'll then see gleis 49-50 just ahead of you.
The closest tram stop to the Schanzenstrasse entrance is the Hirschengraben stop, which is served by tram lines/routes 3, 6, 7 and 8.
