• 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.

    I follow a few Swiss train related tags on social media (mainly for finding out about avalanche closures in the winter) and have noticed that while there are lots of expressions of frustrations at service quality online, they are usually due to very minor reasons. Last time I saw a swiss person mouthing off about the rail service on Twitter was because the train information display wasn't working in their carriage. Before that it was because the rail replacement bus bypassing a rock slide was five minutes late leaving.

  • That was a joke about the use of the acronyms SBB CFF FFS in that order, as if everyone is fed up of SBB CFF. FFS! When actually FFS is the Italian bit (Ferrovie Federali Svizzere). Don't worry, I don't think anyone else got it either...

    Yeah, I realised that, but figured you were using the joke to make your point about frustrations with the Swiss rail service as you don't usually make jokes that don't have a point to them.
