The famouse Lötschberg Tunnel from Kandersteg to Goppenstein in the Swiss Alps. We travel south through the 14km bore in a VW T2 riding piggyback on a BLS car transport train.

  • Don't you mean a VW mini-bus? Not a proper bus as such.

  • Bus, micro-bus, van, campervan, combi, Type 2, T2, bay, baywindow.... all popular names (in the UK) for the same vehicle.

  • Based on the times shown on the screen, it looks like it took about 9:20 min to go through the tunnel. If the tunnel was 14 km long, then the train must have been traveling at an average speed of about 90 km/h.

    "How does the engine get out of the way?" It looks like there was a flat car at the front, just behind the engine, from which the cars were able to drive off the train. A very clever set-up, IMHO.

  • I've stayed in Kandersteg recently and took the passenger train through that tunnel a few times and was wondering what it was like to ride on the transporter train in one's car - this clips answered it nicely - thanks for it!

  • if a car breaks down near the front you're all doomed haha

  • Wow,I've never seen anything like that.I'd like to do that.How does the engine get out of the way?
