A fine way to explore Switzerland without leaving my house. And a beautiful ride it was. Fantastic views. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you very much for showing us. Greets from the Netherlands.
Thank you for sharing this video with us. I got to take a marvelous journey on a train through beautiful towns and countryside. One of my favorite train videos ever!
What a kitschy landscape.... wait, it's REAL! Your country covers the most beautiful landscapes one can imagine in a nutshell, and the trains offer them perfectly. So stay or become united again, Swiss people, it is your home, be it Northern Swiss or Ticinesi or redidents of the Romandie. Be proud of it. Seid einig, einig, einig! :) Thank you for showing us your lovely country!
Vielen Danke. Thank you for taking us to a corner of Switzerland not discovered by tourists. If I ever make to this beautiful country, Nesslau will be on my list.
Da habt ihr wieder eine wunderschöne Strecke herausgegriffen - schon zig-Mal gefahren (vor allem St. Gallen-Wattwil), aber vom Führerstand aus ergeben sich einfach neue Blickwinkel - herzlichen Dank und ich freue mich auf weitere Meisterwerke!
Fantastic! What a wonderful video. There is so much to say, I could write a book. Just one short story - I was travelling along the Toggenburg line when a young man asked me if I would change seats so that his elderly mother, who was suffering from dementia, could sit by the window. I was happy to do so, but seeing the delight on her face as she admired the lovely scenery and recognised places she knew, made the journey extra special. Seeing Altstätten SG, I wonder if you or Fabio could film a short video of the steep ride from GaÏs, which always feels like falling off the edge of the world!
Thank you for another wonderful video of beautiful Switzerland. We've watched quite a few Swiss videosn before, but have never seen a lot of these places. Best Wishes from Andre and Lola Engelbrecht in South Africa
Absolutely superb video! Judging by the blossom on trees this video was filmed early/mid-May 2020. Although this as during the 'lockdown' period, almost all Swiss trains were running - and there were quite a few passengers! (We also saw a British-built Double-deck bus!)
This is my train connection to school. I had no idea that this video exists. RU-vid algorithm I guess😁😁. Da isch min Zug für id Schuel. I han kei ahnig gha das da Video devo existiert. RU-vid Algorithmus isch mengmol scho cool😁😁.
I'm eating Milka while watching this. Besides I entirely agree with:"So stay or become united again, Swiss people, it is your home, be it Northern Swiss or Ticinesi or redidents of the Romandie. Be proud of it. Seid einig, einig, einig! :) Thank you for showing us your lovely country!"
I just love your videos!!!!!!!! My one dream in life is to come and visit Switzerland, Austria and northern Italy. I love train travel too, and have been all over the USA and Canada on the trains. Thanks for all you do...just subscribed!
Wonderful video, never been to Europe but hope to be going in the next 5 years and look forward to exploring Switzerland and your video makes me wish I could go this year like we were planning.
Vielen Dank für wieder eine interessante Strecke, auf der ich trotz 50 Jahren Sommerlaub mit GA noch nie gekommen bin. Auf der Hauptstrecke von St.Gallen bin ich nur bis Mörschwil gekommen (als da noch ein bekannter Modelleisenbahn-Hersteller war...). Den Bahnhof St.Margrethen habe ich fast nicht wiedererkannt - das waren noch Zeiten, als man über Bohlen von einem Gleis zum anderen musste und bei Ankunft aus Bregenz durch ein ziemlich marodes Zollgebäude (unter Begleitschutz).
Very nice, high quality video. I can even feel the rumble of the front bogy of your train passing switches. Not a joke, by the way, since my audio system on my computer is normally used for a VPO (Virtual Pipe Organ). To reproduce 16' and 32' registers, the subwoofer goes down to 11 Hz. And exactly this feature turns cab rides on RU-vid into an extremely vivid experience.
What lovely picturesque scenery all throughout Switzerland. Thanks for the ride. Ha ha.😆 I cannot help controlling my laughter at the name of one of the tunnels, which is Dumdum. Sounds a bit silly the name doesnt it?
Servus! Ich habe Heute Traumlandschaften mit dem Zug durchfahren und fühle mich glücklich :-))) Die Schweiz ist wunderschön! Ich habe auch viele Neubauten gesehen, Strecken und Brücken! Herzliche Grüsse aus Bad Vöslau in Niederösterreich!
Thanks for yet another ride full of detail - one that I only notice now is the step up at the platform edges in Mörschwil and Ebnat-Kappel - these must surely be recent safety upgrades for otherwise low platforms - when did the relevant rule come into force? I distinctly remember walking across tracks on wooden boards at places like Flüelen to board local trains back in the early '80s - clearly modern traffic density and safety standards demand greater segregation of the customer \m/
Low platforms are either lifted (the vast majority are already) or get these steps installed. In curves or on very low frequented stations, they keep them this way, at least for now.
I ws wondering... To me it looks like you drive almost in every part of Switzerland (or I’m really bad at the Swiss map/topography). Is it in CH the same as in NL that the train driver has to have certain track/line familiarity or do you drive all/a lot of the carriers (SBB, Thurbo etc)? Great video again btw! Enjoying it a lot :D
Yes, route knowledge is required to drive on a route. It is possible for a single driver to work for multiple companies, but my/our secret (which is not actually a secret) is that we're a little team behind all this. ;-)
There are 5 Au's in Switzerland, one in the canton of St. Gallen, one in the canton of Zurich, two the canton of Aargau and one the canton of Thurgau. "Au" is an old german word that means something like "a landscape surrounded by water".
