| This 460 still has the Rail 2000 sticker on th front side. Rail 2000 was a big step forward for SBB, as it introduced a hub and spoke system. Every full hour the Intercity trains arrive at the bigger cities, all regional and commuter train (which runs on 30 min or 15 min intervalls) arrive too. So passengers have a good interconnection and can jump trains within minutes. Therefore a delay of more than 3 min is critical to the system. But usually SBB works like a Swiss clock and most of the time the system runs very well. |
