Mid—journey to accommodate for when the rail gauges change — notjust to a different width, but also a different height. but now, travellers can make the entire journey on just one train, thanks to some clever engineering. what can i see here? that's the gauge changing installation. this is the point where...? this is the point. 0k! this is where the magic happens. laughs. so, we go from a wider gauge. the weight of the carriages are taken on small wheels on the side of the carriages and that allows the bogies to change gauge. so how long did this project take, or is it something you could ...

To some clever engineering. what can i see here? that's the gauge changing installation. this is the point where...? this is the point. 0k! this is where the magic happens. laughs. so, we go from a wider gauge. the weight of the carriages are taken on small wheels on the side of the carriages and that allows the bogies to change gauge. so how long did this project take, or is it something you could do fairly quickly? the first idea to make the link between the two regions is from 19th century, so very, very old, and the first prototype is from 2008. it's 12, 1a years later and we have a train....

But this train itself is actually really interesting and it's all to do with — this is technical, so bear with me — the rail gauges. that's the distance between the rails. in 1916, this awe—inspiring route was completed, connecting montreux on lake geneva to the vibrant city of lucerne. travellers could ride in style through the beautiful bernese alps and witness some of the most stunning scenery in the world. but for years, passengers had to get off and change trains mid—journey to accommodate for when the rail gauges change — notjust to a different width, but also a different heigh...
