Bern is a Swiss Federal Railways station in Bern, Switzerland.
It is the nearest station to the University of Bern in the Länggasse quarter. There is a shuttle bus to Bern Airport from the station. Its IATA Airport Code is ZDJ as American Airlines codeshares on the Swiss Federal Railways service from Zurich International Airport in Zürich to Bern Rail Station. The station is also served by TGV, ICE and Cisalpino trains. The station is on the Olten–Lausanne line (known as the Mittellandlinie in German) and near the end of the Lötschberg line.
The station has recently (up to December 2003) been renovated and partially redesigned. It now contains Rail City, a shopping center open longer than the other shops in town, and over the weekend. This is possible as the shop opening laws of the city of Bern do not apply on Swiss Federal Railway property.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“...I believe it is now the duty of the slaves of the South to rebuke their masters for their robbery, oppression and crime.... No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
