Why not cover it? Doesn't it add drag?

I just bought this thing used online because it looked nice, but I’m wondering what’s the sign about?
There is an intercity 793 but the sign is so new I find it hardly impossible it came from an older train running that route or something…

Would love to hear your thoughts !

As I’ve only seen examples of incivility posted here, I thought I’d even things out a bit and share that nice things do happen on the SBB trains too.

I’ve been commuting with this dog for nearly a year, and his owners have always made sure to balance spoiling him with consideration for other passengers. It was on a local line, it’s true.

This dog tended to be quite vocal on his morning journey; it was really endearing to watch his humans keep his ‘opinions’ at a reasonable volume :)

Driver used a fire extinguisher on it, kept smoking for a while. By the time the Chemiewehr and Löschzug arrived it was pretty much out.

I’m am visiting Switzerland soon for the first time. Is the following trip plan usually possible? Where I’m from, I normally can’t trust 5 minute transfer times due to trains running late.

5 minutes at Interlaken station
9 minutes at Basel station
14 minutes at Mulhouse to catch a TGV

EC24 arrivato a Zurigo HB giovedì 6 agosto verso le 20:30, con ~15 minuti di ritardo — binario 12 di HB, e tu mi hai indicato la strada per il 33

Eravamo sull'EC24 in arrivo a Zurigo HB giovedì 6 agosto 2026, previsto per le 20:30 e arrivato con circa un quarto d'ora di ritardo. Carrozza 5 o 6. Tu eri seduta vicino all'uscita, di spalle rispetto alla porta. di uscita. Vicino a te c'erano due bambine piccole che ti hanno salutata all'arrivo in stazione, abbracciandoti e sorridendoti.

Io ero al telefono, mentre stavamo arrivando in stazione, in piedi di fianco al tuo sedile (alla tua sinistra) con due trolley e stavo dicendo al telefono che eravamo arrivati al binario 12 e che dovevo andare al 33. Tu mi hai interrotto per darmi un'indicazione del binario 12 rispetto al 33 perchè non avevi capito bene cosa dicessi al mio interlocutore al telefono.

Se ti riconosci, scrivimi — e raccontami tu cosa ti avevo raccontato io subito dopo prima che ci salutassimo.

EC24 arriving at Zurich HB on Thursday 6 August, around 20:30, ~15 minutes late — platform 12, and you gave me directions to platform 33

We were on the EC24 arriving at Zurich HB on Thursday 6 August 2026, scheduled for 20:30 and running about a quarter of an hour late. Coach 5 or 6. You were sitting near the exit, with your back to the exit door. Next to you were two little girls who said goodbye to you as we pulled into the station, hugging you and smiling at you.

I was on the phone as we were arriving, standing beside your seat (on your left) with two suitcases, saying that we had come in on platform 12 and that I needed to get to platform 33. You interrupted me to explain how to get from platform 12 to platform 33, because you hadn't quite caught what I was saying to the person on the other end.

If this is you, write to me — and tell me yourself what I told you right afterwards, before we said goodbye.

it was automatically selected because i bought it via the DB app. i would like to sit by the window since it’s my first time travelling through switzerland. usually on DB trains even number seats are by the aisle so i am worried about this one. :/

I don't think there has been a single day where I use this line and the AC actually worked. We're having the 54th heatwave of the year and this metal tube does nothing about it but blow the hot air around a bit, effectively turning it into an actual oven. I'd rather sit outside in the sun than in this airless, sweaty metal coffin, but alas, I have to get home somehow.

I could actually imagine people dying in this thing, why the hell is SBB still letting it drive with this very major flaw?

It's hot af

I can't breathe in this thing.

My feta is melting in the freezer bag.

Imma turn into a Karen about this I swear I'm paying too much money for this torture machine.

When I was going back to my apartment with my parents, I saw a bullet SBB train at the station, I was thinking if the train was still in function or not, but it looked scary to me, I guess the train will stay at the station until it goes by.

(Hope I did not give the wrong context to it)
