SBB Twindexx Express (FV Dosto) debut to press

[bikkuri bahn]

Bombardier has opened the doors of its Villeneuve site in Switzerland to reveal the new double-deck, intercity EMU it is supplying to SBB.

It is the first time Bombardier and SBB have shown off the interior of the new Twindexx Express IR train.

The first two pre-series vehicles have now completed static testing at Villeneuve and are due to begin trials on the SBB network.

*I suppose these will replace some of the currently loco-hauled IR services.  Another reason to visit the Gotthard Route sooner rather than later.
