S.V.P: Alight at Aigle for Villars and Corbeyrier


As usual with small railway stations there is almost nothing and then a flurry of activity for a few minutes when an important train arrives. Some of the alighting passengers make their way to waiting buses and if I'm lucky I can catch these quick bursts of activity with my camera like here at Aigle close to where I went to school. So this station has strong connections from my past, happy and sad depending on whether it was the begining or end of term. In the background is the BVB Railway Mercedes bus going up to Chesieres-Villars but in my day it would have been a P-Regie Car Postaux as the yellow Post Buses were called here. But all was not lost for wearing the colours of La Poste was a fairly new contractors NAW heading for the village of Corbeyier.
