Aarau Railway Station
Aarau railway station (German: Bahnhof Aarau) serves the municipality of Aarau, capital town of the canton of Aargau, Switzerland. Opened in 1856, it is owned and operated by Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS).
The station forms the junction between the Olten–Aarau railway, the Zurich-Aarau railway and the Baden–Aarau railway. Previously, it was also a terminus of the now closed Aarau–Suhr railway.
On the southern side of the station yard is the separate railway station Aarau WSB for the metre gauge trains of the Menziken–Aarau–Schöftland line of Aargau Verkehr AG (AVA). Its infrastructure (its own station building, 2 platforms serving three tracks, no. 11–13) is directly connected with Aarau railway station.
