SBB Tourist Peak Fills Panorama Trains and the InterCity Spine

BERN - SBB said late July bookings on panoramic routes and on InterCity trains toward Ticino were near capacity on several days. The railway's advice was the usual one: reserve. People who treat the train like a tram learned about corridors the hard way.

Domestic commuters on the same spine complained that a suitcase is not a season ticket. Both groups are right, and both have to share a door.

Heat on the rails

Speed restrictions on hot rails appeared on a handful of afternoon diagrams. They are boring until you miss a connection in Olten.
