Would be lovely to have Swiss service quality abroad.
YES! That’s what I have been saying. We don’t need high-speed rail in Switzerland. We are a small country. We need high-speed rail infrastructure so we can integrate into a wider European net.

Lol they will losse all speed as soon as they enter Germany
Waste of money for German routes
It’s good that the SBB is considering the move already…. It’s usually more costly when you’re forced to buy stuff in the last minute. Plus this way the SBB might be able to influence some design aspects / considerations particular to Swiss needs.
Excellent – now they should build out the network – the fact that it takes nearly 3h to go from Zürich to GVA is pretty bad – yeah it’s great that there is a train every 30 mins but still it’s way too slow – at least on the main axis St gallen – GVA & including Basel as a triangle it should be 250km/h + – well the section Bern Lausanne would benefit from going more then 100km/h already 🥲
Please, I’d love to see more international high speed connections as comfort is far superior on the train compared to planes
SBB are super cheap when it comes to interior configuration in 2nd class. Like the Giruno and FV Dosto are just glorified regional trains in 2nd class, so I‘m not really looking forward to whatever they order from a comfort POV. They‘ll most likely pass on the TGV, ETR 1000 or Siemens Velaro and will probably just order a beefed up 300kph version of the Giruno.
