Railway Swissness: it’s everywhere! #SoSwiss

The first voices of dissent: Switzerland’s “Rail 2050” plan being grilled by Ticino in the south — not happy that the tunnels (yes! Not just Gotthard and Ceneri) won’t be built by then.

Of these include quite a few more in Central and Southern Switzerland.

Of note: the white line is dashed — not solid!

What a pain: public transport in major touristic hotspots including Luzern and Bern feeling the pressure of busloads of tourists. It looks like Covid did little to curb mass tourism for the longer term...

Swiss media report on how many choose rail over air in Europe. It does mention a few problems:—
• Significant demand
• Sleepers easily booked out
• Less easy to book than planes

Indeed, a fair number of rail links across the border into Switzerland. There is even a tram link — Basel Line 10!

Ever fancied seeing Switzerland by Train but been put off by the costs?

If you have an InterRail this now covers a lot of the scenic journeys, basically all except to top of mountains.

For accommodation stay across the borders and train in each day.

See Switzerland For Less👍

Did you know that @rhaetischebahn has panoramic open-air coaches? 😃📷 These "convertible" waggons run on select lines whenever the weather allows. More information: https://t.co/Ud20fWXqoe

According to local media Swiss Federal Railways has curtailed the Airportr (sic) service, which allows customers to pre-check their bags at home for a SWISS or Edelweiss Air flight. Presently affected at present: cantons BE, FR, GR, NE, TI, VD. More (🇩🇪): https://t.co/fZ0xyVC6LW

One of the great benefits of forward-looking planning... the NEAT/NRLA (New Rail Link through the Alps)... Lötschberg, Gotthard, Ceneri, and quite a few more to come.

Takes quite a load off the motorway network, plus is significantly less polluting!
