At the end of 2010, it was decided to extend train services from Bulle to Bern via Fribourg at the December 2011 timetable change. The line between Bulle and Romont had to be completely renovated for this. During the reconstruction work, operations on the line continued except between 11 July and 10 December 2010. During this time, the infrastructure of the line was adapted to the new operations. Vuisternens-devant-Romont, Sâles and Vaulruz-Nord were converted to crossing loops, which replaced interlockings. The tracks are designed allow coupled sets of two FLIRT sets to operate. All intermediate stations were closed, some of the public facilities were removed and the tracks were fenced.
