Thank you for watching a Yukkuri Kagekidan video. Did everyone enjoy a wonderful Christmas? At Yukkuri Kagekidan, we didn't stop for the holidays. Right after finishing our MOB series, we headed back to Switzerland to board the Goldenpass Express. This new tourist train traverses the scenic 'Golden Pass Line' in central to western Switzerland. The train connects the Western railway company 'Montreux-Oberland Bernois Railway (MOB)' with 'Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon Railway (BLS)', expanding from the capital, Bern, to the Southern regions.
Boasting a luxurious and elegant design, the Goldenpass Express offers expansive windows perfect for scenic views, along with state-of-the-art facilities including LCD monitors, Wi-Fi, and power outlets. Additionally, the train features first-class seats with electric reclining and rotating options for a more comfortable journey. We wanted to try the Prestige Class, but it was fully booked, so we experienced both first and second class - both offered bright, luxurious interiors and comfort.
What impressed us the most was the train's ability to change the width of its wheels. At the connecting station Zweisimmen, the train adjusts its wheels to transition between the standard gauge of 1435mm used by BLS and the 1000mm gauge of MOB. For this trip, we boarded the Goldenpass Express from Interlaken Ost, the starting station for BLS, to Zweisimmen. Join us as we guide you through the train's interior and witness the fascinating process of wheel adjustment. While similar technology is used in Spain, the Swiss approach is uniquely different. Our observations revealed unexpected innovations, making for a truly intriguing experience.
Enjoy a journey through Switzerland's rare sunny winter, with breathtaking views of snowy mountains and lakes, and the unique experience of the world's rare gauge-changing tourist train.
