History
Opening1868

Tulle is a railway station in Tulle, in the region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. The station opened on 19 June 1868, and is located on the Coutras - Tulle and Tulle - Meymac railway lines. The station is served by Intercités (long distance) and TER (local) services operated by the SNCF. The station was also on the Tulle - Uzerches railway line between 1904 and 1969. The station is a turn in / reverse out railway station, so all trains have to change direction at this station, unless they use the line avoiding Tulle.

The station ‘features’ in the 1973 film The Day of the Jackal, when the Jackal buys a ticket there, then catches the midday train to Paris. The scenes were filmed at Gare de Veynes - Dévoluy in the Hautes-Alpes.
