Central Swiss Cantons Push for Lucerne Rail Station Funding
The cantons of Lucerne, Obwalden, and Nidwalden are advocating for the funding of the Lucerne through station as part of the next railway infrastructure expansion. A delegation brought their demands to Bern, emphasizing the need for a completion by 2040. However, despite their efforts, past initiatives have rarely succeeded in securing government attention. The project faces scrutiny due to rising costs and alternative proposals, but local leaders remain optimistic about its necessity for regional mobility.
