By train across Switzerland

Permalink | 16/07/09 | Categories: Airlines, Railways, State of the ART | by: A Sharp English (UK)

I rode from Geneva airport to Zurich airport - bottom left to top right of the country! A nice ride.

My meeting in the airport ended at 15:45: I caught a train at 16:05 and was in my hotel near the airport at 20:00. The journey would have taken much the same time by air, although a lot of it would have been spent in Geneva Airport waiting for the next flight! By contrast, the trains run every half hour.

The train made 11 stops. Station stop time was 35 minutes, of which 14 minutes were at Zurich Hbf where the train reversed. Apart from this, three stops each took 1 minute, two 2 minutes, two 3 minutes and one 6 minutes.

I didn't have the scheduled time at two of the stops, but apart from these we were on time at 5 stations, a minute late at 3 and a minute early at one.
