The year 2024 brought some changes to Austria: The Westbahn increased the number of connections to Innsbruck. A new daily connection to Bregenz was also introduced. It has more stops than the RailjetXpress connections, such as Hohenems, Frastanz or Nenzing. The daily connection from Innsbruck to Bregenz, Stuttgart and further to Germany is now realised … Continue reading Long-distance Rail in Austria 2024
Long-distance Rail in Switzerland 2024
Voilà the new version of the long-distance rail map of Switzerland 2023. The design remains unchanged apart from adjusting some radii. The most obvious change is the introduction of numbers for every long-distance (and non-long-distance RE) line. Some lines have got an official specific colour, which I also applied in my map. However, two events … Continue reading Long-distance Rail in Switzerland 2024
Long-distance Rail in Germany 2024
For the 2024 version of the long-distance rail map in Germany, I have totally rebuilt the map.

A new country has joined my collection. This new map includes the long-distance trains in Austria. Its design is the same as in most of my other maps. However, there is one major difference.

The Evolution of Long-Distance Trains in Switzerland since 1982
Recently, I have posted my new long-distance traffic map of Switzerland. It shows the current services in 2022. In addition, I wanted to provide information about the development in the last years.

In my map, I have adopted the colours of the lines … Continue reading Long-Distance Trains in Switzerland 2022
