I'll never forget the day when the DB went on strike, and Swiss trains crossed the border to pick up passengers from Frankfurt.

Smoothest, quietest, roomiest train I've ever been in. Even the aesthetics were calming, with nice wide windows.

No random stairs or narrow corridors, no garish yellow or red colours, no speakers or beeping doors yelling at top volume.

Don't get me started with the aggressive light at night.

You're just describing the swiss old single level carriages.

There used to exist apps and websites with the usual reasons that delays happen or get cancelled, that randomly pick one of them just for fun.

None of the trains would be running if Switzerland managed the trains here in Sydney,AU.

They don’t let in trains from there either.

On the other hand a lot of Italian trains still operate in CH.

Time changes, uh?

They just have proper management in Switzerland, Italy or Austria. It's not that hard

On time trains by terminating each side in Konstanz or Milano are an easy way to satisfy Switzerland, but as a passenger it just means missed reservations on an earlier train.
