Excellent as always. Love your journeys!
Cheers mate, appreciated as always.
The German side of the route (through Memmingen) was only electrified very recently. The train used to be diesel-hauled Swiss coaches with a reversal and change to electric loco at Lindau Hbf (on an island in the lake). After electrification, they swapped stations in Lindau to avoid the reversal.
Lake Constance/Bodensee is lovely - Bregenz had a seaside feel when I stayed there in summer, people swimming and sunbathing on the beach etc. Alternatively Friedrichshafen in Germany is an interesting spot, offering Zeppelin flights (not cheap!).
Thank you for watching - appreciated. Bregenz looked absolutely stunning and I’d like to explore that that area a bit more.
I took the reverse of this trip back in 2017 before the German electrification. As eastwestChris mentions, electrics were exchanged for diesels at the island station of Lindau. Ive seen videos of that operation on CZcams. It was an enjoyable and slightly different trip.
Thanks for watching.
Brilliant as ever mate. Thank you!
Cheers mate, appreciated as always and thank you for your support.
Nicely done! Thank you!
Hi mate, thanks fir watching - appreciated.
Very much enjoyed this, Geordie. What a great train! If I may be presumptuous and offer a tiny suggestion. I'd leave the text on a little longer, especially when there are four or five lines. When you are watching the video and trying to read as well, you need a little more time. There are also some minor spelling issues, but they hardly matter. Overall I enjoyed this very much and I am sure you will get many followers in the coming weeks and months. Good luck to you.
Hi mate, thank you for watching and for your comment. Absolutely, I'll take on board what you say, I have just invested in some new gear so editing should be better.
Love your work, and good luck to you.
Hi mate, thank you for watching - appreciated and thank you for there comment.
Spelling: St. Gallen. My hometown.
Apologies - a lovely city.
Unfortunately, I dislike 1st class at SBB. That of the DB is much more comfortable, classier and the service is also much better - too bad. Hopefully there will be a German ICE soon (at least as far as Lindau/Bregenz).
hi mate, thanks for watching - appreciated.
Don't book 1st class on Swiss rail! It's a rip off. You can't pick your seats so they put me and my partner across from someone. We had no leg room and no privacy and couldn't switch seats plus the bathroom didn't work.
Can you choose your 1st class seat reservation during online booking on Trainline? I mean is there a seat map to refere to? Thanks
Hi matge, thanks for watching - appreciated. No, i wasnt able to reserve a seat.
Where are tickets purchased. Planning to visit Munich this summer.
Hi mate, thanks for watching - I just used the trainline fort all bookings.
@@TheGeordieTravels thanks for your reply, does this app only for Germany or all of Europe trains?
Nice video the sbb ece train good connect münchen to zürich central station 👍 it are a nine euro ticket in Germany train can you all regionalbahn ride train in Germany 🇩🇪 please
Thanks for watching - appreciated as always. Next time I’m in Germany I will look at the regional services.
Be better with narration than captions. reading is a nuisance.
Hi mate, thanks for watching, appreciated. I plan on changing to narration in the near future.
