Panorama Express, abbreviated PE, is a special category of long-distance train in Switzerland. It was introduced with the December 2019 timetable change, and is generally used to denote tourism-focused services.[1]
Characteristics of a Panorama Express can include first- and second-class seating, air-conditioned coaches, and a limited number of intermediate stops. Advance reservations are often required but not necessarily compulsory.[2]
Examples
[edit]The following is a list of trains that operate under the PE category:
- Bernina Express, between Chur and Tirano (Italy)
- Glacier Express, between St. Moritz and Zermatt
- GoldenPass Express, a luxury train that operates between Montreux and Interlaken Ost
- Gotthard Panorama Express, which uses the Gotthard Railway between Arth-Goldau / Flüelen and Lugano (combines with a voyage on Lake Lucerne between Lucerne and Flüelen)
- Luzern-Interlaken Express,[3] which uses the Brünig Railway between Lucerne and Interlaken Ost
Previously, the Voralpen Express also ran as a PE, but it was subsequently changed to InterRegio (IR).[1]
