The EuroCity through the Allgäu, more precisely from Munich via Bregenz to Zurich, often makes headlines, especially in Switzerland. After all, it is almost always delayed, that is, in 77% of cases. In 30% of cases it is even delayed by more than half an hour. And this does not go down well in Switzerland. After all, the SBB is known there for its punctuality. In this video we look at the problems and the future of the EC, which is marketed in Germany as ECE, the EuroCityExpress. The biggest challenge at the moment is that large parts of the route are only single-track. Nevertheless, DB, ÖBB and SBB are trying to expand the jointly offered EC as much as possible and will offer 8 daily train pairs from the upcoming timetable change. We are also analyzing whether the WESTbahn might soon run from Vienna via Munich to Bregenz and Zurich. We show what advantages a direct connection on the Vienna - Munich - Zurich route would have for long-distance traffic within Austria and Central Europe. By the way, we would also like to show you the Astoro from the inside. Please write in the comments which other long-distance train we should compare it with. #eurocity #delay #sbb #db #oebb #westbahn #münchen #zürich #allgäu #astoro 0:00 Intro 1:16 Overview EC Munich - Zurich 3:19 Through the Allgäu - Munich - Lindau railway line 6:28 Along Lake Constance - Austrian section 10:10 Swiss section 10:32 Impact on the WESTbahn 11:35 Future of the EuroCity Feel free to follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/zuegige_zue...
