Berne–Belp–Thun / Berne–Schwarzenburg
Historical review:
Until 1997, the line was owned by the Gürbetal–Bern–Schwarzenburg Railway (GBS). This railway company had been set up in 1944 through the merger of the Berne–Schwarzenburg Railway (BSB).
In June 1997 the GBS merged with the Berne–Neuchâtel Railway (BN), the Spiez–Erlenbach–Zweisimmen Railway (SEZ) and the Bernese Alpine Rail Society BLS (Bern–Lötschberg–Simplon) to become BLS Lötschbergbahn AG.
Today the GBS, with the lines S6, S3, S4 and S44 is a part of S-Bahn Berne.
