It is the first time that the channel has been to Switzerland and this is the start of a week riding around on their wonderful trains.

I flew into Geneva from Bristol in the morning and now I must get across to Zürich on one if SBB's Twindexx EMUs. These have a rather chequered past, as they've had problems with the tilting technology. So many problems in fact, that they have decided to decommission the tilting software because of a poor ride experience. How is the ride now? Well, there's only one way to find out!
