Yes, probably my favorite regular train right now in Switzerland 👍Confortable, great window views, modern, even the bistro is great. Just a couple of things: at 7:49 the train stopped there is a new train for Rigi bahnen Bhe6/6 from Stadler that has been undergoing tests on the line. Also at 6:16 that noise let's us all know what day you did that trip and even the train you got 😄 but probably only those living in Switzerland will understand. Thank you for the great video
Fun video! I hope to make it back to Switzerland someday. Thanks for making such interesting vids. My favorite feature of your videos is NO narration. Love having the chance to live vicariously through your work!
Enjoyable video, thanks. I've travelled over that route several times over the years and it never ceases to give me a thrill. What a shame the weather/visibility was so poor for you. Must try the SBB/SOB joint service next time we're in Switzerland.
The big windows in the 2nd class low floor section of these local train gives almost as good a view as the classic Panorama wagon. And it was squeak free too ;-)
Die Kirche vom Ort namens Wassen sieht man dreimal. Einmal von ganz oben, dann von halb oben, dann von halb unten. Ein berühmter Abschnitt der Gotthard-Bergstrecke.
00:20 (and in description) it is from Locarno to Zurich or Basel, not Lugano. But VERY comfortable if compared to the former suburban trainset running the Gotthard line.
It was as good as a top-rank Giruno used on Zurich-Milan services (which I'd taken Zurich-Bellinzona). In fact, same manufacturer and similar layout. My bad about Lugano/Locarno, what was I thinking! ;0)
I appreciate the curvature of the track, but was the train / vestibule ends that noisy ? Nonetheless great video. Many years ago had the good fortune to visit Lucerne and surrounding scenic railways. Extremely scenic in the summer as well. A great memory: having breakfast on hotel balcony overlooking Brig station. Alps dramatically in background; VSOE arriving; local mountain railway terminus in the foreground.
It's the connecting parts between the train's sections bending. You can see from front to end in these trains (Stadler FLIRT base, long distance version, I think they call it FLIRT IR), so the connections between the solid sections (you couldn't use them independently, so I wouldn't call them carriages) need to be flexible as well as pressurized. What you hear is the payoff.
By the way, when announced, this was considered to be a safety feature for late night services on commuter and regional lines (where FLIRT is primarily used). I don't know that it makes sense going this way on a long-distance tourist train, but clearly, there is hardly anyone on board here.
Would you recommend this over spending the extra time and money for the Gotthard Panorama Express? Coming from Lucerne and don't know if I want to spend the extra money (or time the boat will add to the trip).
Well, the scenery is exactly the same, and these trains have massive windows and comfy interiors. The panorama cars give a sense of occasion which a service train doesn't. But with hourly departures the service trains are more flexible.
Tunnels are boring. At least once drive an an old pass road and see the real Switzerland. That’s what this video is about. If you do one you might like to do it again. Spot on video. Thanks for memories!
@@andrewstorm8240 Sorry Andrew I disagree. A verbal narrative should only be done by professionals - otherwise it can appear to be pathetically amateur with mispronunciations and a wandering script. I admit there is a fine line between a travel video and a history lesson, but I feel those bloggers that prefer the written word are far more interesting than someone trying to be something they clearly aren't. The Man in seat 61 has it just right.

Aus dem Fenster, schönes Video - ich mag die Linie über den Gotthard. BRAVO

Thank you , it is beautiful .

I'd stab my ears after the first 15 minutes with that screeching noise!
6:16 the annual siren test!
🤣 oh god!
Красота, да и только!
Oh, the constant squeaking! That was some bad luck. 😞

Looks like a fun journey! Asking the real questions: how much was the coffee on board and was it any good?
Nice video 👌

Great trip, bad day for window reflections.
Can’t believe they only have vending machines for food!

A polarizer filter will cut all glare
eflections from the train window. 👏👍

Maybe better with narration. And some more details about the route.
You did this ride the first Wednesday of February...

Nice
Are those squealing screeching sounds coming from the train?
beautiful. except for that horrible screeching noise
Hmm, doesn't this train look familiar?
Wait, why are you reuploading hhe video?
Beautiful scenery, but I had to mute it to watch it due to the screeching. I think that I would have jumped off the train!

What is the squeaky noise? I made the trip in 1956. The train had Swiss carriages with slatted wooden seats.
It's the connecting parts between the train's sections bending. You can see from front to end in these trains (Stadler FLIRT base, long distance version, I think they call it FLIRT IR), so the connections between the solid sections (you couldn't use them independently, so I wouldn't call them carriages) need to be flexible as well as pressurized.
