History
editAfter some argument between the inhabitants of Brunnen and those of Ingenbohl about the location,[6] the station was opened in 1882, when the Gotthardbahn opened the section from Immensee to Bellinzona. In 1903 the station was rebuilt because the older station had become too small for the amount of traffic.[7] In 2004, the station became part of the networks of the S-Bahn Luzern and Stadtbahn Zug.
Layout
editBrunnen has a side platform and an island platform serving tracks numbered 2 and 4–5, respectively.[8]
Services
editIn the 1960s and '70s, Brunnen hosted international trains to Lecce, in Italy, and Hook of Holland, in the Netherlands.
Today Brunnen is served by an hourly InterRegio trains between Locarno and Arth-Goldau which continue alternately either to Basel SBB or to Zürich HB. The station is also served by line S2 of the Zug Stadtbahn, which operates hourly between Zug, Arth-Goldau and Erstfeld, and is the terminus of line S3 of the Lucerne S-Bahn, which operates hourly to and from Lucerne.[9]
Goods station
editUntil 2004 there was a Service Center of SBB Cargo to the north of the station. After closings, the buildings were reused by a Kart Racing track for a few years until being demolished. Today a new mixed use development stands in its place.
