In 1877, a funicular between Lausanne and Ouchy was opened. In 1898, Montriond station was added to it, and in 1959 the funicular was rebuilt as a rack railway.[2] In 2003, the railway was demolished to give way for construction of M2 line. Montriond station was demolished as well and move closer to Lausanne railway station; in 2008 it was reopened as Grancy. At the same time, Délices was opened as a new station between Jordils and the former location of Montriond.[1]
