There is a maintenance center in Geneva, maybe that’s where it is headed?
Well there’s the cisalpino from Geneva to Milano, first
Then, trenitalia will be doing their first leg in France as well
I drove around in many trenitalie trains, they go up to zürich.
weirdly i can drive to milano without changing trains, and going to zürich i need to change twice lol… and i live in the german speaking part of CH.
Those Elektrozüge are the ones that operates the EuroCity services between Italy, Switzerland and Frankfurt. Both SBB and Trenitalia own some of those.
As far as I know, they usually travel on the Milano-Zurich-Frankfurt lines, Milano-Bern and Milano-Lausanne-Geneva. My guess is that either they are transferring some convoys from Lausanne to Bern, or for some reason the Milano-Bern can’t cross the Lotschemberg and it has to pass by Vevey and Fribourg?
In any case, it is not uncommon to see those in Switzerland.
Maybe just a diverted train because of some technical reasons
Trenitalia ETR 610 (such as the one pictured) are used in EuroCity routes north of Italy, in parallel with SBB ETR 610 (RABe 503 Astoro – same train, better paint scheme). These trains once belonged to Cisalpino.
They are a common sight in Lausanne and Geneva, and I guess also in Bern, Zürich, Basel.
Since Fribourg is right in the middle of these two EuroCity routes, I guess it must have been a rolling stock transfer from one to the other?
I saw one in Renens heading East the 4th of March at 14:08.
I don’t get it..
Milano – Frankfurt
I saw it between Geneva and Lausanne yesterday. Those trains do the Geneva-Milano EC route but usually it is a Swiss version.
This one was most likely a carriage transfer from Zürich to Geneva. They are going trought some inspections in Geneva. Or it could be a diverted Train Milano-Geneva via Thun-Bern-Fribourg instead of Sierre-Martigny.
What’s the issue ? There’s DB and SNCF trains in Switzerland too. The Lyria goes from Paris all the way into Zurich
Who peed on the train pier?
Am I the only one who reads Genitalia ? Who thought of this?
The watwat
Surely a technical transfer, but you often see it coupled with the SBB one doing Basel-Milano.
I saw it leave Gare Cornavin yesterday around 17h30. I guess it was taking people to Italy.

Hijacked by a Swiss farmer obviously /s
The Italians are even running trains in the UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avanti_West_Coast?wprov=sfla1
