That is a fun detail. However, the best places to do this with to really shame big cities with no trains is small villages near big cities on main railway lines... in countries with a lot of train traffic. For example, Rostoklaty, a village of 643 people near Prague, gets 121 trains a day on a workday. (If I'm counting correctly.) With some digging, one might possibly be able to find an even smaller village with a similar train frequency, but I think this is a pretty good example that's probably up there.

I knew you'd be visiting Liechtenstein eventually after seeing your video on the football match against San Marino. Funny actually, now you have officially spent more time travelling on the Liechtenstein rail network than most of its citizens, myself included - I have never used on of our trains. I come from the southern part and would just take a bus to nearby Sargans in Switzerland to catch a train. Our small train network was actually quite the topic of political discussion a few years back, when there were plans to expand the current single track to a dual-track as part of an overarching project to improve train connections between between Swiss and Austrian train network. The plan was to include the Liechtenstein section into an S-Bahn network with trains in up to 30 minute intervals promised. In the end a referendum was held with the majority-vote rejecting the plan, with the main argument brought up against it that Liechtenstein would have to carry the high costs associated with this expansion, with relatively little benefit to the population (as this track still only covers 3 of the 11 municipalities in the country), and some doubts whether Austrian or Swiss train providers would actually be willing to stop trains at these very small stations at such frequent intervals.

I love Liechtenstein and had a sneaking suspicion you would be visiting there at some point! The situations with the railways is a funny one. OBB were actually ready to plough a lot of money into Liechtenstein with the S-Bahn Liechtenstein projects and would have essentially double tracked the existing railway network and even have some long distance EC trains stopping in Nendeln but the project was rejected by referendum in 2020 and has since be shelved. Given how accessible Liechtenstein is by bus from both Switzerland and Austria and being well connected to the SBB network at Sargans plus Buchs SG and the OBB network at Feldkirch I don't think we'll ever see the situation change.

Made my day to see you in Liechtenstein - and made me very nostalgic! Although I don't think I ever got on or off a train in Liechtenstein. I'd get of the train at Sargans (on the SBB Zurich-Chur line, south of Buchs) then get the 11 bus to Vaduz. Same bus goes to the bus station at Shaan-Vaduz, then on to Feldkirch... Liechtenstein's bus network is absolutely superb and beautifully organised, although I suppose it's a bit easier when there's less populace/countryside to worry about. I had to snigger a little bit about Switzerland being responsible for Liechtenstein's defence, given that they've accidentally invaded it and also set fire to it once or twice... Very much looking forward to the next vid! Even though I already know what happens...

I used commute with this train! I worked at Hilti for the last 2 summers. I used to live in Buchs SG. When first moving to Switzerland, I stayed with my Austrian family in Hohenems for the first few weeks till we could move into our new apartment. So I would take this train alone every day from Feldkirch. A big change as I went from one week being driven around everywhere in the car dependent surburbia that is Cape Town, South Africa to being able to travel alone. This was when I was 10! Side content: the bus ticket issued by the national bus operater Liemobil that cover the zones of the train is valid on the train. All Liemobil zones (within Liechtenstein) are also Zones under the Swiss Ostwind zone network. The SBB app allows you to buy either (Liemobil zones are slightly cheaper, but if you have an onward local journey then you can get a combined ticket). A travelcard from the Austrian VVV that covers all VVV zones also covers Liechtenstein. The international complications start when you try to get from Nelden to any of the farther Austrian stops, because even though the bus lines follow the train, only the bus lines are included in the GA travel zone (covers all of CH+LI+a few border points). Also, if you get a ticket from ÖBB for this route, that train ticket isn't technically valid on any of the bus lines (despite what the ticket says!). Though I have never put that to the test with an inspector.

Take one of the "at leisure"days, train to Sargans - grab the Bus to (somewhere in) Austria and get out at Vaduz. Scenery is worth the visit on its own. Theres also a Postal Museum that was fascinating. Vaduz was on a route from somewhere north of Bodensee - across the lake, into Switzserland, Leichtenstein, Switzerland again before ending up in northern Italy. Not to mention there are some interesting odd sculptures.

This episode hits a note with me. I have taught a number of students from from Liechtenstein and asked them how often they used the train to which the replied “we have a bus service operates every two hours or so in the capital” glad to see trains action in! And it seems the bus service has improved!

I suppose it's no surprise given the countries location between Austria and Switzerland but the view from every station was fabulous. I felt like 2 hours there would not be enough, I'd want to go for a walk in the mountains!

For the Swiss, especially in St. Gallen, Liechtenstein is like a Swiss canton. Although it has no place in the Federal Council, it is more or less the same. Border protection is already the responsibility of Swiss authority - when it comes to national defense, the situation is less clear. It is not officially regulated and there is neither conscription in Liechtenstein nor a contractually regulated military assistance pact. What does happen, however, are military border violations by the Swiss army - during exercises, of course. But as far as I can tell, this tends to cause both sides to smile rather than leading to diplomatic conflicts.

I used to have a certification to operate Hilti powder-actuated fastening tools (basically big nail guns that use .22 blanks to drive fasteners into concrete). I never actually used one, but the construction company I worked for one summer in college offered the course to everyone, and I figured what the hell. It got me out of the sun for an afternoon. :)

Most often .27cal rimfire, as lots of nations consider anything chambered in an actual firearm caliber a firearm in itself. Interesting to learn that he was a mechanical engineer supplying firearms to the Germans. (makes sense now) Back in the 1970's Hilti was also considered the leader in pneumatic nail guns

Interesting Lichtenstein fact. In about 1984 I was with my family caravaning and we were on our way from Switzerland 🇨🇭 to Austria 🇦🇹 and passing through Lichtenstein and we passed one of my school mates and his family going the opposite direction. Well not really a mate but someone in my year at school in Cambridge.

This was fantastic! In the early fall of 1989 I was invited by a young woman to visit her in Vaduz and as I hadn't been to Lichtenstein it was a win/win invitation. My instructions were to get to Vaduz via train from Sargans to Buchs then a bus the rest of the way. Thanks to a delay I arrived in Sargans too late to go to Buchs and there was no sign of life around the station so I hunkered down to wait for the first train in the AM. It was getting a little chilly and the only enclosed shelter was a phone booth so I ended up sleeping as best I could on my backpack sitting up in a phone booth.
