- Welcome and Happy Swiss national day! (1. Aug). In this video, you’ll have a chance to See Switzerland’s main east - west transit route from Geneva in the south west through to Zürich from the driver's cab of a tilt train. Special thanks to Brad for recording this video.
The route closely follows several of Switzerland’s beautiful lakes, including the lake of Geneva, the lake of Neuchâtel and the lake of Biel. For the train enthusiasts among you, there are also plenty of private railways and interesting locomotives we’ll be passing. For this video I have labelled selected trains and locomotives with their operating number, year of manufacture and manufacturers (labels in pink). Next to the station names, I’ve included altitude in meters. The maximum allowable speeds are also shown on the bottom right of the screen as they come into effect. On a number of occasions where the speed is limited due to signalling, the signal colours are shown at the top right of the screen. This is to help viewers make sense of the different colour combinations.
As we pass junctions, I have included purple comments on available videos in the respective directions. These videos are (or will be) linked below for your convenience.
Where gradients over 1% (1 unit vertical climb per 100 units of horizontal travel) they are included in the upper right corner. The larger number indicates the promille value (1/10 of 1%) and the smaller number the number of meters the gradient will follow.
Below you'll find the linked connection line cab rides mentioned along the way:

Précis comme une horloge
Bellissimo anche questo video
I'm impressed at how Swiss rail tracks are clean. Rail tracks elsewhere are dirty, full of rubbish, grease from the trains, the sides have lots of abandoned wagons, parts, and derelict disused buildings. They're generally depressing places. In Switzerland, even the railways are spotless!
I lived in Switzerland for four yrs late 1960s/early 1970s. There was no graffiti anywhere, none at all. I'm very surprised the Swiss tolerate this and don't have school kids out there cleaning it up.
@@austindarrenor, at that time graffiti weren't a big thing anywhere in the world, not just in Switzerland. And there are rebel youth and, unfortunately, marginalized populations and alcoholics/drug addicts/antisocial/mentally ill people in all countries and cultures. Now, I'd love to wake up one day and find that my house had been painted by Banksy or some other of a few great graffiti artists, but unfortunately they're exceptions rather than the rule. Most graffiti are ugly and MEANT to be so. They're meant to be vandalism, and that's a different story.
@@goytabr You're right. We didn't used to see graffiti on freight rail cars here in the USA. Now it's a rarity if there ISN'T graffiti on rail cars. But knowing how persnickety the Swiss are I'm surprised they haven't come down really hard on it and done something effective to clean it up and stop it.
@@austindarrenor This may surprise you, but fortunately in Switzerland we don't live in an oppressive police state....
@@RTSRafnex2 Your comment makes it sound like you're one of the guys out there with a can of spray paint. Don't you have anything constructive to do?
Thank you for these wonderful videos! For decades, I visited Switzerland both for business and pleasure often, and the videos bring back so many pleasant memories!
Living in California, I first visited CH in 1969. As a person who loves to work with their hands, and pursuing quality, there is no place on Earth better to inspire me!
Thank you again, Alexis
Thanks for your comment
Thank you, your our Friend
I spent four years going to private school in Territet and Leysin in the late 1960s/early 1970s. I can sit and watch this video from beginning to end and then start from the beginning and do it all over again. 🥰
Thank you for this long journey through the major Swiss cities
An amazing view of a country I've always wanted to visit. TY for taking the time to show all the details and information along the way. Please keep them coming.
Che ricordi di questa linea, quando avevo 13 anni ho passato una splendida vacanza di 3 settimane a Biel, era il 1974, ospitato da amici italiani che vivevano e lavoravano qui, oggi ritornati in Italia in pensione, ho dei ricordi bellissimi del Jura e di tutti i dintorni da Neuchatel fino a Berna !!!
meu Deus ..imagine isso aqui no BR! que diferença faz um trem deste na vida do ser humano! tudo organizado,limpo e eficiente . maravilhoso! ❤️
aliás , a Suíça é lindíssima! 🇨🇭😍
this film was very entertaining , we loved viewing that huge lake on the right side of train , the village neuchatel , also the high speed track sections , thank you for sharing.
Absolutely fabulous trip, just mind blowing again thank you for sharing, as usual i look forward to the next fabulous trip WOW.
Thankyou for the most amazing ride , Excellent!
And out into Bahnhofstrasse to shop at Globus. Thanks for a marvellous ride. I'd previously been the other way, Zurich to Lausanne, late afternoon. Beautiful.
Stay safe.
Merci pour ce magnifique voyage à travers ce beau pays. Toutes les infos distillées au bon moment rendent cette vidéo encore plus passionnante. Bravo pour ce beau travail !
Fantastic video. Loving the tilting at high speed and a really nice ride. Looking forward to your next video!
This is really a great way to see Switzerland and its rail infrastructure. Thank you so much for your notes of explanation and information. The notes are in English and you leave them up long enough for me to read … and I read slowly. Many thanks. Great video.
Thanks very much for my first Tilt Train Virtual ride. Most enjoyable. Great description throughout. Interesting about the mix of gauges in places. Look forward to more. Beautiful Switzerland. My wife has been to your country I never have, sadly.
brilliant, thank you... love these journeys
Thanks for the cab ride totally enjoyed it!!😎🐓🐓🇬🇧
Thank you for the video. Love the train ride and the wonderful scenery 👍
What a treat!!!! Utterly brilliant - thank you so much!
Another AWESOME video !!! I like all the descriptions and the maps you show at each major station!!! No 1 video :):):)
Thank you for sharing this video. Stay safe out there ... :):):)
Who ever invented the Tilt Train made an enormous positive contribution to rail travel.
Video molto interessante e di ottima qualità, ho vissuto a Ginevra per molti anni e rivedere la Gare Cornavin e gli intorni di Ginevra dalla cabina di guida di un treno è molto emozionante. La Svizzera è sempre un paese bello pulito e in ordine. Paesaggi molto belli! Complimenti!
Veľmi prekrásne natočené video 😃😃😃😃😃.
Perfektné super 😃😃😃😃.
Srdečne pozdravujem zo Slovenska 😃😃😃😃.
Great video Swiss trains are the Best not to forget beautiful scenery along love the Country Thank you!
基礎設施完善 良好的天氣 加上一流拍攝與解說文字 不輸親自搭乘體驗！……讚讚讚 🤩🤩🤩
Gracias por el video, los mapas y la explicación durante el recorrido.
Tienen diferentes modelos de tren en la misma via, que bien.
Me ha sorprendido mucho la cantidad de grafittis en las paredes y construcciones por el recorrido.
Saludos desde México.
Salü Lori! Geniale Idee mit der Visuellen Signal Erklärung! Danke für Deine Zeit! Wünsche Dir auch weiterhin Viel Spass bei dem was Du machst!!
Beautiful part of the world,great rail network(one of the best in the world)cheer's bob.
I'm amazed how much work was done for the video. Thank you for all that work you done for all your videos. Looking forward to see videos form lines around the Zurich lake
Thanks for recognising that! All the best
Auch das wieder eines der schönsten Fahrten, mit einem Dankeschön fürs Mitnehmen. 👍👍👍
Your videos are awesome! How beautiful Switzerland !!!
Big thanks from Bulgaria. I love your videos. Best regards.
Thank you very much for this beautiful travel and the interesting comments you give ! I subscribe.
Like Dulevoz's? channel, which got us started on the cab-view stuff, we have been watching these mesmerizing films on the wide screen TV, a virtual holiday in these strange Covid times. Thank you, Marcus
Wonderful video !!! I have never seen a train journey before, with lot of information like you provided through the trip and thanks for sharing.
Thanks! See my playlist for more videos.
Klasse Video und sehr informativ. Danke für's einstellen ins Netz. Weiter so und allzeit gute Fahrt.
Merci beaucoup pour la vidéo. Ayant quitté la Suisse depuis plus d'un an pour un autre continent, ce voyage m'a rappelé oh combien ces paysages sont sublimes et en plus en première classe en train que demander de plus. Bravo pour la vidéo avec toutes ces informations intéressantes (modèle de train, gare et leur distance etc.) et votre travail.
Why did you leave?
Nach Einstellen dieser langen Fahrt mit dem IC 5 gilt es einfach noch einmal "Danke" zu sagen! Die Info-Einblendungen sind prima!
Vielen Dank!
Thanks for taking the time & effort of putting this/these together.
Très belle vidéo !! Je suis impressionné par les rames ICN que je trouve très souples en accélération comme en freinage. Elles sont en plus doté d'une bonne puissance. J'espère qu'un jour vous nous ferez un parcours avec les rames Pendolino Alstom ETR610 ! Merci de nous régaler
de vos jolis films !
Thanks for the lovely sceneries and a beautiful journey.
Wonderful! So much fun. Thank you for the video.
so ein tolles video habe ich noch nie gesehen! stationen, brücken, tunnels, ja selbst passierte züge und loks sind markiert. einfach ganz große klasse! vielen dank.
Danke sehr
First experience of a "tilt train". Excellent thank you.
This was an absolute amazing trip ,always enjoy your rides thank you again for sharing always look forward to the next trip just great to be able to ride the rails with you.
Thanks!
Brilliant cab view ride between Geneva Airport and Zurich HB but couldn't miss the graffiti either side of the tracks as well as on numerous buildings not to mention cargo locos and wagons
Great Journey with lots of information. It's a special occasion to make this trip sitting in my comfortabele relax chair at home. Thanks
... and not in the tilting train.
it seriously is the most beautiful railway ~ thank you for sharing
I find myself leaning with the tilt, good feeling, relaxing trip, Thanks heaps guys.
Seeing your country, even virtually, always fills my heart with joy. I was actually supposed to go to Lauterbrunnen and Wengen this year, but COVID-19 ruined my plans.
Sorry to hear that
Courage you will do
Thank you for sharing.
I may not be able to visit Switzerland.
I can see and feel via youtube.🇮🇳
Locomotive is amazingly silent, noise of the wind is louder. Great👍❤️🌷
O K. I can't spate time to watch full video. I'm logging out.
Thank you.
One of your best so far. Thanks to Brad for assisting you. If there is ever a chance I'd love to see a Bern (or Fribourg) to Lausanne cab ride for the great views of the lake as you travel down the mountain into Lausanne.
Très intéressante vidéo avec un beau parcours. L'annotation des trains croiseurs est bien vue ainsi que tous les commentaires. J'ai regardé cette vidéo en 4K: très bon visionnage. Merci pour votre travail et sincères salutations.
Очень понравилось, я 2 года работала в Берне, но очень интересно было увидеть страну с этой стороны! Спасибо!
Спасибо за великолепное видео. Очень красивая дорога!
Great video, viewing from Australia - thanks!
Hi Lorirocks777, Fantastic video, lovely scenery along the route, awesome information about the station, Tunnels,rivers, locomotives and rolling stock on the railway to Zurich,great English subtitles too.well done. Deserve a oscar for the hard work you put in to it. CHEERS BRIAN (exrailway worker in uk)😉👏👏👏👍

IT'S A BI SURPRISED WATCH THIS , THE BEST IMAGES FROM THIS LOVELY COUNTRY ! THERE IS A LOT OF PARTS LOOKING LIKE PLACES OF JAPAN . I THINK THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO THAT I HAVE SEEN , I LOVE TRAINS SPECIALLY MORE FASTEST , THANKS FOR SHARE , GREETINGS FROM BRAZIL AND ... KEEP SAFE , STAY HOME ( COVID) .. GOD BLESS THIS COUNTRY TOO .
Por que você escreve tudo em maiúsculas? Isso significa gritar!!!!!!
Amazing video and rail trip like I just went along for the ride. I have had the good fortune to ride scenic routes in the U.S. including all routes west of St. Louis to see the American West and THE CANADIAN between Vancouver and Jasper. In Switzerland I have only taken the Bermina as when I went this route it was by bus with a tour group. Switzerland and the French Alps including Annency and Lucerne are favorites for me.
Werter Herr, ich sehe
mir alle Ihre Videos an :-) Ich liebe Ihr Land! Beste Grüße aus Bad Vöslau in Niederösterreich!
Quelle qualité de vidéo, et quel travail pour la commenter ! Merci. C'est parfait
Interessante e piacevole poter viaggiare, se pur da casa, comodamente davanti al computer, occupando il posto di guida di un treno. Un'esperienza insolita alla quale non avevo mai pensato: Bello davvero..ringrazio coloro che hanno avuto questa iniziativa.
Thank you for sharing! SBB is a pleasure to ride.
This route is very close to my heart. Thank you for posting it. The tilt of the train appears much more extreme and sudden than it seems when you are a passenger. I have never understood why some people find it uncomfortable. If, in the future, you are able to get the cooperation of a driver on the Léman Express, it would be great to explore the new routes, starting in Coppet. Finally, on a technical note, the picture quality on RUclips has improved significantly since you first uploaded this video. I wish I understood why!
Un très joli voyage. Merci pour les sous titres en français :)
Very enjoyable video and I specially liked seeing the speeds, signal aspects, line and junction information and also the sites of former stations now closed to passengers highlighted!

Thank you
I love how, when you went from predominantly French speaking areas to German speaking areas, the language on the bar at the bottom changed. That was a nice touch :)
Took this train ride - vice versa - once before... top notch performance and ride comfort.
Wonderful view, good video, travelled city by video.😄
Thank you very much is wonderfull country ..from litle Uruguay
🏴🇺🇾🇵🇦🇲🇱🈯🚳🧲💉🏆🗽🍎🐸👨🦳
Aqui do Brasil viajando em um trem desses pela internet é uma maravilha imagina estando viajando pessoalmente ....paisagens lindas tudo perfeito Parabéns.
Hallo lorirocks777 - mit diesem Video hast Du mir eine Riesenfreude bereitet! St. Gallen - Lausanne oder retour ist meine Lieblingsstrecke in der Schweiz, selbstverständlich mit dem Neigezug. Und wenn dann mal noch die Strecke Zürich-St. Gallen dazu kommt bin ich total happy! In diesem Zug - auf dieser Strecke - fühle ich mich immer wie im Flugzeug - herzlichen Dank!
Freut mich - besten Dank
Amazing! Beautiful video! Greetings 🔝📽️🚋💨👍🙋♂️
Fascinating! I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for sharing!!
Excellent and great viewing. Many thanks.
1:03:55 ooh I remember that bit from four years ago. My train was delayed there for three minutes. What a wonderful country.
Two points. I think this video must have been taken at the end of March, as there are very few people travelling. -Am I right? Secondly, it is clear from the platform indicators that the train was NOT going to St Gallen. The IC5 trains from Lausanne go through to St Gallen (and use tracks 31-34 at Zurich Hbf). The IC5 trains from Geneva turn round in the Haupthalle in Zurich Hbf.
Correct
It must have changed though. The IC5 I was from recently came from Geneva Airport and terminated at St. Gallen or Rorschach SG.
Excellent video! Thank you. Such beautiful scenery!
One of the most striking differences between the infrastructure in this video and what we have in the UK is in the fencing alongside the railway. It seems that in Switzerland an ordinary fence, such as you might have at the bottom of your garden, is perfectly adequate; and sometimes there is no fence at all. Swiss people, it seems, are expected to behave sensibly, and not go playing on a high-speed railway line.
In the UK the railways must have fencing that would keep out an army. Often it's terribly ugly - miles and miles of metal, palisade fencing with spikes on top, six feet high. The presumption is that people have to be kept out because they don't know how to behave. If somebody gets through a fence and is injured, the railway might well be sued. It's safety culture gone mad, in which people are not expected to take responsibility for their own behaviour.
Maybe I should move to Switzerland - it is so beautiful and I have a couple of Swiss friends who have told me I'd love it. I'm a bit old to consider that now, even though I am intrigued by a culture in which the grass in fields looks so neat that it must have been cut with nail scissors. And as a life-long railway enthusiast, there would be so much to enjoy about Swiss railways.
I too appreciate all the things you mentioned, especially the general trust in the public to do the right thing.
I visited London recently and was really surprised at how many signs there were everywhere for blatently obvious things and sometimes written in a way that makes you feel like you're surrounded by criminals.
For example "Smoking is strictly prohibited. Offenders will be prosecuted". The Swiss equivalent would be "Thank you for not smoking here".
Sometimes I wonder how the world was when people were more sensibel and had more freedom. It's a shame that it's usually a minority that ruins it for everybody.
@@lorirocks777 Thanks for such an informative, honest reply. Swiss people can rightly be proud of what their country has achieved, in so many ways.
@@Martin_Adams184 To be fair, not everything is better here in Switzerland. People tend to be rather cold and some outright closed-minded, especially in the German-speaking part where I'm from. However, I have to agree that it's probably a case of "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence." Not everyone is like that, of course, but it can be difficult for new residents, just so you are warned. 😉 Other than that, I have to agree that our country is exceptionally beautiful and many things here work really perfectly. If you decide to visit, make sure to go to the Lake Zurich area/Zürcher Weinland/Schaffhausen/Thurgau. Apart from the Alps, these are some of the most beautiful regions in Switzerland, in my view. I do love the UK by the way. 🇬🇧 I like your black humour and your heritage (castles, nature, culture, Dunkirk spirit, etc.). I could imagine moving to the UK to live in a snuggly little cottage in the country once I'm older - Beatrix Potter-style. 😅
@@hockneyfication Thank you! That is a delightful response, especially because it is unafraid to say unpleasant things, but does so with good humour.
There were things I wanted to say in my initial post about the railway journey, but did not do so at first because I did not wish to insult any person, or a culture that seems, on balance, to be admirable. One of the things that has lingered in my mind, from knowing several Swiss people (mostly German-speakers), from reading widely, and from looking at forums like this, is epitomised in my mention of fields that look as if they have been cut with nail scissors.
This is not unique to Switzerland. I felt the same way when I was in Sweden and visited a friend's out-of-town "Summarstuge". I got a slightly worrying impression that if I lived in this large group of small wooden houses and failed to cut my lawn, if I put the washing out on the wrong day, if I failed to obey the rules about recycling, there was a band of smiling neighbours ready to report me to the authorities. I might be wrong; but that's always been a background reservation.
But Switzerland makes great cheeses; its methods of democracy are worth thinking about seriously, especially in their support of localism; its railways are brilliant; and most of the people I've met or have known have been amiable.
Thank you!
@@Martin_Adams184 "If I ... failed to cut my lawn, if I put the washing out on the wrong day, if I failed to obey the rules about recycling, there was a band of smiling neighbours ready to report me to the authorities"... 😉 --> You exactly describe Switzerland in the 50es, 60es (before "1968"; for insiders: "Der Waschküchen-Schlüssel" by Hugo Lötscher). I think, now it's become much more openminded - at least in bigger towns (where you won't see nail-scissor cut lawns any more between the empty packages of Big Macs and used Corona masks.)
And as to the fences: Once you have stood innocently on the open platform of a provincial train station and a train has passed by less than a meter in front of you at 160 km / h, you no longer need a fence in the open area. Try it in Münsingen for instance...
BTW 1 fun fact: My last train journey in Britain was in 1996 in a HST 125 Bath-London (seats much more comfortable than in the above shown Swiss tilting train and the elder double deckers), my first one in 1975 Salisbury-London; would like to travel by train in Britain again...
Regarding nippy people:
In autumn 1976 I had to wait 20 minutes for a train at Kings Cross (or something). I put my luggage in front of the platform gate and had a coffee next door. In time I went back to my luggage (which was still there!). Suddenly I felt that I was being scrutinized by dozens of eyes: The queue had established itself aside and I was standing at the front - but aside! ... Quickly and meekly I crept 100m back to the end of the line.
Thank you. This is happy experience journey.
I've been on this journey using Swiss Pass, it was pretty amazing!
Great job 🇨🇭
I enjoyed this train ride exposing me to the western parts of Switzerland. I liked your footnotes; they were of extreme value and help to me. I also enjoyed your 180 degrees panoramic view of the countryside. You could see as far as the eye can see.
Great work; thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for another great work of yours!!
Glad you liked it, thanks for your kindness
Hallo Freund, vielen Dank für das Teilen dieses super Video, Ich erlaubte mir, diese Tour zu genießen, die für mehr als Jahre habe ich mit LKW getan

Wunderschöne Aufnahme 😍
exhilarating, i almost lost my breath at the 200km/hr stretch. woow
Epic ride 🤩, Thanks 🤟
Glad this time you take a shot from the west :)
Thanks a lot!
NB: I see the line from the Val-de-Travers will come soon. Note that the second from La Chaux-de-Fonds will be closed in 2021 for modernisation, so if you want to take a shot, hurry up ;)
Both of those lines have been filmed 👍
@@lorirocks777 Waiting to see this one. I found some videos of the line, which will be very interesting for comparison. I experience since 2nd March the closure of the line, I had the chance to travel in a double-decker bus, and with different weather each time ; )
If you need some information about the line (history, works, etc.), I'm here.
Supurb brillaint video ... informative, well edited nothing short of impressive ... thanks for your excellent work .. always looking forward to your upload.
