Wrap Up Switzerland 2022

This map shows the lines over which we travelled.

Black - standard gauge, Red - narrow gauge, Blue - trams, buses, Green - steamers, Orange - funiculars

In all we rode 120 standard gauge trains, of which 11 were rack and 3 steam

57 narrow gauge trains, of which 5 were rack, 1 steam, 1 steam rack and 3 heritage

15 trams of which one was heritage

6 funiculars

2 lake steamers

Of the above all were on time or within two minutes of time, a couple were four minutes late, one steamer was five minutes late and one suburban train was 18 minutes late. No connections were missed although some were as tight as two minutes.

We purposely avoided the tourist areas and enjoyed rides through very pleasant countryside. I think the most spectacular ride was from Yverdon les Bains to Ste. Rose with the incredible climb up the side of the Jura cliffs. This is a hidden gem. There was a lot that was new but we couldn't fit everything in that we would have liked to. Paul and I are already thinking about our next trip.
