Cisalpino services to be taken over by SBB and Trenitalia as of December 13th

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

cisalpino-switzerlandRail Europe has received word that Cisalpino brand trains will be discontinued as of December 13, 2009. Cisalpino trains operate within Italy and Switzerland, transporting passengers to some Europe’s most beautiful cities.

Service along Cisalpino routes should not be effected, the routes will be covered by the parent companies, SBB and Trenitalia, without any disruption to passengers. This change in service will go into effect with the winter schedule change. And again, as of December 13, 2009, the Cisalpino brand will no longer exist.

So, you have a limited amount of time to travel aboard a Cisalpino branded train. The trains along this high-speed route actually tilt as they whisk passengers to their destinations. The tilting helps reduce travel times, allowing you to spend more time in Geneva, Bern, Milan, Florence or Venice (just a few top destinations on Cisalpino routes!).
