The Gare de Bitche ("Bitche station",), formerly Gare de Bitche-Ville ("Bitche city station"), is a railway station on the Haguenau–Hargarten-Falck line, located in the town of Bitche in the French department of Moselle.
It was opened in 1869 by the Chemins de fer de l'Est and closed in 2014 by the SNCF along with the Sarreguemines–Bitche section of the railway line.
The junction station of Bitche is at an altitude of 307 metres and located at the kilometre point of 44.957 on the Haguenau–Hargarten-Falck line between the stations of Bitche Camp and Lemberg.
Bitche station was opened on December 15, 1869, by the Chemins de fer de l'Est along with the section of the railway from Niederbronn to Sarreguemines. The railway section between Bitche and Niederbronn has been closed off in 1996 and has remained disused since. The Sarreguemines–Bitche section has had a substitute road service since December 18, 2011 following land subsidence and then performance that did not meet the expectation of the Regional Council of Lorraine.
The station building and the railway line are fully and permanently closed.[2] [3] The railway line has been replaced by a TER Grand Est bus line.[2]
