the Swiss seem to constantly add FFS to SBB CFF
That's just the Italian speaking bit. It's a bit more, well, Italian. Lots of shouting and the occasional loud bang. As I experienced in Domodossola when they forgot to switch the voltage in the overhead cables. Much switch-flicking and power-recycling all the way to Montreaux. Boy, did they try turning it off and turning it on again. On pretty much every incline, as the train slowly ground to a halt.

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.
