Excellent 5*

Have a great time - I look fwd to a similarly amusing report in MR. (go via Domodossola-Locarno if you want to try the new Pendolinos, the old ones are using the Gotthard route; but Rhätische Bahn alone offers plenty of scope)

Ian,awesome! I just read the story in MR and saw the You Tube video mentioned.
Just incredible!!! I just want to hop on a jet and zip across the Pond!!!

Fully agree, well almost - at least you could have tried one of the Swiss beers they have on that run!
-
Superb. The most professional video I have seen on U-Tube - but what else can you expect from a MR reader/contributor.

Many thanks, Ian! Having enjoyed your input in MR, i was only too happy to investigate your YouTube activity, and have been suitably transported - probably helped by having just come in from having a wee Carlsberg in my local, and then seeing one served in the train! More power to your elbow in each sense!
Excellent video. Tried the Rhätische Bahn yet? It's even better! Suggested itinerary: TGV Paris-Basel, SBB Basel-Luzern-Milan (or boat Luzern-Flüelen if you have time), FS Milan-Tirano, RhB Tirano-Chur, RhB/FO Chur-Andermatt-Goeschenen, SBB Goeschenen-Basel.

Thank you. Funnily enough we are planning a similar trip this year. I have done it before but only in the summer and a long time ago.

Flights £67.00, Hotel CHF 180 (£105), Main Meals 4 x £40.00, Fares about £50.00 for me as I have BR pass but you can get a Swiss travel card which will cover you for travel to and from the Airport and get you half fare on the other trips (not sure about the mountains). This costs £107 second class and £150.00 first class. Adding those up and leaving a bit for fares somewhere in the region of £500.00 per person would cover it.
