although is it really as great as everyone says?
Pretty much, yes. It's not perfect, but it's bloody good. Cycliste is thinking about finally buying a car in Switzerland, cos Covid. For the last 15 years she hasn't even considered it, the train system is so good. It's not amazeballs fast. But it's reliable, relatively cheap (particularly if you have a Carte Demi Tarif) and immensely comfortable and civilised. The wine and cheese selection in the restaurant cars is pretty good too.

That's just about the only way I could see it happening. The track record (no pun intended) of the Swiss rail system is very different to the UK, although is it really as great as everyone says? Because the Swiss seem to constantly add FFS to SBB CFF which I can only presume is an expression of their frustration at the poor service.
