Andreas Wiedenhoff: "Built in the 1970s, #SBB🇨🇭#SwissExpress trains worked the most prestigious domestic services in Switzerland. Providing mainly open plan seating, a small portion in 1st class was organised in compartments though. They ended their career on regional trains for #BLS. Pictures from May 2018." — Bluesky #SBB #SwissExpress #TrainHistory #BLS #1970s

The train also conveys #ÖBB 🇦🇹 #nightjet cars from Berlin 🇩🇪.

June 1981: for the first time, lunch on board a #Swiss🇨🇭#SBB @diningcar.at It was a #SwissExpress EW III train. I kept the bill as a souvenir: it includes the diner’s road number: WR 34002 (UIC number 50 85 88-34 002-8). I had a pork cutlet (CHF 15.50) and a soft drink (CHF 2.30).
