During the night of 15th/16th December 2001, the station at St-Sulpice fell victim to flames. Everything was entirely destroyed. The inquiry was able to determine that the fire started in the boiler room ceiling. The cost of the damage has risen to more than hundreds of thousands of francs.

The locomotives and carriages, stationed close by, were untouched by this disaster.

The restaurant, the kitchen, the changing rooms, the office and it's equipment, the toilets, as well as restoration materials and stocks for the sales stand all went up in smoke. The technical archives, which were soon to move to a fire-proof area currently under construction, were also annihilated.

During the last 4 years, the VVT has invested nearly 40,000 Swiss Francs in this building. A gas boiler had been installed and all the doors and windows had been renewed. To improve the welcome to visitors other work had been undertaken.

For all information, contact us by e-mail or on the telephone number 032.751.38.07. On this number leave us a message or a fax and we will return your call.
