Nyon now has a Platform 4, but it’s not a platform where you can actually take a train.
It’s the name of a new public area directly opposite the the railway station.
“Voie 4” was inaugurated on Wednesday night. It’s a meeting place for the public, to sit and chat and have a drink from the nearby bars and cafés.
There were 5 suggested names for this new area which were put to a public vote. Voie 4 was the winner. Members of the public were also given the chance to added some of their own decorations to this new area.
Many years ago, the Nyon – St Cergue train used to run on tracks right on this very spot and came to a halt in the town. This was before the train was then redirected underground.

Little by little, the town fathers and mothers are forcing cars from the center of town. There is now not parking on the Place de la Gare.
