Zürich to Milan on Switzerland's INCREDIBLE High Speed Train UNDER The Alps!

[@trailwayt9H337]

Very good and very excellent presentation for the Switzerland railway is watching from India.

My favorite scenery from a train? Apart from the obvious candidates in Switzerland, I have to say the Rhine valley line (Cologne-)Bonn-Koblenz-Bingen(-Mainz). Unfortunately, the SBB Eurocity trains will be returning for a single year only in 2025 and without their panoramic coaches.

My favourite scenery from a train is on the Inverness to Kyle Of Lochalsh line. Particularly the stretch from Strathcarron Station to Kyle of Lochalsh, on a clear day you can look over the turquoise sea toward the Cullin Mountains on Isle of Skye and the view over to the village of Plockton is just absolutely beautiful. Though the class 158’s used are clearly past their sell by date

I can enjoy this train every week, as it is used on a local service once a week on wednesday morning, that i am taking.

[@dawdawes]

Favourites would have to be the Rigi Bahn up the mountain, that just gets piiped by the RhB Bernina express from Chur to Tirano especially up at Alp Grum

I think the Giruno Train is a very good train, but my favorites are the IC2000 and ICN. They feel more comfortable and like they have better suspension. But again, it is a good train. The first Class interior looks awesome and feels open and airy. Haven't been on second class yet.

[@marekvahle]

Second class is good. But I think they have some build quality issues to figure out and the urinal in the train I took was already in a bad state even though the train is so new. For some reason they decided plastic was a good choice of material, hopefully they change this in the future

0:36 "Come on dad, move!" says No 11 to No 4.

Haven't been on a lot of trains as I live in Canada. I had great views on Amtrak Cascades between Vancouver and Seattle, and on my recent Europe vacation, I enjoyed particularly the view along the Elbe while travelling on ČD between Dresden and Prague. Second would be Wien - Frankfurt close to the German border. Though, I would like to do more Amtrak - there are quite a few long distance sleeper routes in the US that can't be beat for views, like the Coast Starlight and the California Zephyr through the Rocky Mountains...

[@buzzukfiftythree]

Agree, they are fantastic - in complete contrast to the Bombardier Twindex units that are incredibly uncomfortable.

Really nice review!

[@anthonywarrener1881]

Thank you for this excellent review. I too find the SBB Giruno a wonderful train, and have used them several times on the Gotthard Route. I also really like the OBB RailJets and their 1st Class section is equally comfortable and spacious. As for a view, I think the Rhine Valley between Bonn/Koblenz and Mainz is hard to beat, but the Girunos don’t run there !

my favorite view from a train is the schwarzwaldbahn in Germany, its like chitty chitty bang bang

[@kurtfriedrich9599]

Too bad the TEE Rheingold train doesn't run anymore from the Netherlands to Switzerland via Germany's scenic Rhine Valley loaded with castles and ruins.

Der ETR610 war berühmt dafür, dass die WCs schnell blockierten.

Taken this train last week. Poor seats in first class. My back still hurts.

[@Stromschlag]

I don’t understand the hype around this train. I did this exact journey both ways approximately 2 months ago. Yes, the train is technically nice. But the interior? Honestly, the seats (I was in 2nd class) really resemble more a regional service and are hard and uncomfortable, no reclining, etc. Narrow, only 4 seat configuration, no proper tables for working. Compare that to the ICE interior - let alone the new amazing redesign - and I know which one I’m choosing any single day.

[@gentuxable]

I wouldn't book 2nd class for long journeys and most journeys within Switzerland are so short it is almost better to have something simple and sturdy than extravagant and defective.
