If you noticed some parts of the video sounded a bit "off" this is due to a camera fault. New equipment has now been bought although a few of my upcoming videos may also sound a bit strange. Apologies for this.

As a struggling middle class American, I've never been farther away from the US than Canada. However, someday I really look forward to visiting Europe and riding the rails, as I love train travel. This looks like a must ride!

If you can arrange and afford it, try to grab a ride with the "Glacier Express" in Switzerland. It's a train with panoramic cars (a few even open-top) that goes over the mountains as a narrow gauge railway, giving even more incredible views. The whole route is a Unesco Heritage site.

Re: the delay for the police. On my last trip to Switzerland, the fire alarm in my coach went off just as the train started rolling out of Basel HBF en route to Visp. Some idiot lit up a cigarette in the washroom, and set off the alarm. At the first stop, the police boarded the train and took him away. All of us in that car got vouchers for 8 francs for the inconvenience, usable on trains and at a few other locations. It all happened so quickly that we were back on schedule by the time we reached Berne.

The scenery was very beautiful and looked like the train was also exceptional.

Thank you for sharing. I have good memories from Geneva train station. Travelled several time to and from it but never to Milan. Definetelly will travel the same route when this Covid mess will end.

Beautiful. I travelled once from Venice to Geneva via Milan. An extraordinary trip. This video refreshes my memory. Alstom coaches are elegant, functional. Stay safe. Love from India

Another trip of my 1980s Interrail travels, 2020-21 style. Different trains and no KZfaq back then, but the stations are still almost the same as I remember them. Fun to watch.

The scenery between Lausanne and Montreux as the line runs along the lake is to die for. If you ever get a chance you should try Montreux-Zweisimmen especially if you can get one of the "cab" seats.

Now THAT is a great train! I was pleased to finally see a restaurant on a European Train! I'd take the trip just to try. Thanks, great video!

It is clear to me from watching this and other videos in this area about the train travel that it is far superior to flying from spot to spot because you really get to enjoy seeing the mountain scenery and I even enjoy seeing the towns and homes as well as the stations.

Hi. Done this route,albeit many years ago from Southport to Belgrade. The trains weren't as fast then though. I've been all over Europe by rail, but my wandering days by rail have well gone. I even remember steam train from Calais. Happy Days!! Another good video . Keep em coming!!! Nige

Nice one. I always love travelling between Switzerland and Italy because of the incredible views. You should try the Bernina Express from Chur to Tirano. One of Europe’s great railway journeys. 😍

That was really wonderful and thankyou for sharing your experience with us.

5:22 The bottom plug is for the three stnadards in use in Italy: two pins (Europe-used), Shucko (mainly Germany and Italy) and three pin straight (only Italy uses this type of plug)

After I get a few other financial and domestic issues sorted, and provided my health doesn't deteriorate (I'm in my early seniors' years), Switzerland and Northern Italy are on the 'Bucket List'. Thank you for this excellent review of your journey from Geneva to Milan.The scenery is simply stunning and you have shown it well. Coupled with your many other videos of your Summer 2020 European travels, this is an excellent salve for anyone viewing your channel that is currently experiencing lockdown, especially your UK compatriots and others in the Northern Hemisphere winter. There are several gems in this video that are worth further comment, so please bear with me. First, thanks for your warning about the information displays at Geneva being mostly in French. I will need to revise my Year 11 (1968) learnings here, although, as an Aussie, I could probably get away with; "Pardon, je suis Australien et mon Francais n'est tres bien. J'ai besoin d'aide. Parlez vous Anglais?" Most French people with any sense of history would probably go out of their way to assist, given my nation's record in France during World War 1. Second, I love your appreciation of Art Deco in Geneva station and noted in other of your videos. Third, this appears to be one of Alstom's really stylish offerings. Don't get me started about the poor riding quality of their Xtrapolis trains here in Melbourne (although I'm sure Alstom Head Office wasn't aware of the terrible condition of some of our track when these were first designed ; track condition has improved somewhat in the last five or so years, but there are still areas where the ride is, shall we say, breathtaking at speed.). Fourth, I had to really laugh out loud when you revealed the snakes 'n' ladders game on the fold out table. Given a few of my experiences in the last week, it was so poignant. Fifth, there were several sequences within this video that caused me to pause the play and look more deeply. As a retired Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Transport and Logistics Australia, I noted with extreme interest the following; 1. The Steel Highway Train for Trucks that you passed entering Domodossola, 2. The Milano tram and the boulevard upon which it was running in terms of the clear separation of road service lanes from the main road traffic lanes and the placement of the tramway upon the verge nature strips - we in Melbourne could do with such a road design revision for our St.Kilda Road, 3. The major bus depot you passed just before arriving at Milan. At the next Victorian Committee meeting of CILTA on Wednesday next (27th), I will draw the attention of the Committee to your video channel and this video in particular for the abovementioned notes. While you are keeping safe and warm at home in the Inverness winter under lockdown, you might have a chuckle at my personal lockdown during a current heatwave Southeastern Australia is experiencing this weekend (just before our National Holiday). I'm indoors with the fan on and hydrating with iced water while others outside at beaches are exclaiming "Turn me over mum, I'm fried this side!" Amongst other delayed things on my to do list, I'll set aside some time to check out your friend 'Nonstop Eurotrip'. You might like to check out some of our local Aussie rail KZfaqrs as well (suggest you start with Pannier P Productions); Cheers from Michael.

Thanks, Dylan! I can't find my old message, it may not have come through. All this to tell you that your video is magnificent. Very beautiful landscapes, very beautiful descriptions of the train, you had fun and I with you. Beautiful landscape. What happiness you had to meet nonstop eurotrip who filmed you !!! Very moving !!! Thanks, Dylan !!!

The scenery sure was amazing! Since we are on a second lockdown in Scotland I think you should prime your videos as I think it will give your audience something to look forward to during these times.

I made the same journey on a Pendalino back in 2016 on a long multi-day trip from Paris to Rome, and it's one of the best railway journeys that I've ever taken. Thanks for reminding me about that wonderful trip...

Very spectacular route! What a pitty, that you missed the southern portal of the Lötschberg-Tunnel in eastern Valais. Spanning over 21.5 miles (36 km) it's the 5th longest rail tunnel in the world. Simplon Tunnel for over 70 years was the worlds longest tunnel.

Well, dylan. We made this journey from lucern to milano centrale back in 2015 we had to change trains at zurich. But the scenery is breathtaking. The colours of your images just reminded the ones of ours. Thanks a lot for this review. Greetings and a hug from argentina.

3:00 The SBB, CFF and FFS lettering can actually be found in large chrome letters on many Re 4/4 and 6/6 locomotives from the SBB, pointing out the cooperation of all parts of switzerland..

Another great video. Thank you. The carriages were clean and welcoming while the scenery was stunning. The use of face coverings in Geneva seemed variable

I love your vid's, i often traveled by train trough Switserland and all the time i used the Inter-Rail ticket, so you can travel as much as you like in a lot of country's trough Europe for a certain time. Lugano is my most favorite place in Switserland, it's in Ticino in the south, it's that Italian atmosphere they have there and the beautiful lake Lugano is stunning to see, Greetings from the Netherlands.

This is a great railway trip, especially through the Rhône valley to Brig. Switzerland's Fendent wine region. I've travelled on all the lines a few times but never from Geneva to Milan. Thanks for posting.

Dylan, the train you're on is absolutely beautiful!

I don't know how I found your site but I love it! I lived in Italy for 6 years and now being back in the USA, I really miss Europe. Love your videos. Keep up the great work. By the way, How do you afford all these trips? I would love to do what you are doing. Thanks

I was lucky enough to go on a school trip to CERN a few years ago and spent some time at Geneva-Cornavin, it's a lovely station and Swiss trains were very quiet + comfortable.

I like the way you casually mentioned Goethe as a diplomat and writer. He is, of course, the Shakespeare of Germany.

another good video, and a BIG thank you for getting a few shots of the shops at the station, good job

I loved the video. Riding through the mountains of Switzerland and Italy were just so relaxing. Keep safe and keep up the great work. I can't wait till next week's video.

These videos are just the thing to watch during a lockdown January. I know the Swiss part of the journey very well and you had the best kind of weather for that wonderful scenery. The train review was helpful as I don't think I've been on one of those and look forward to trying one. No noticeable issues for me with the sound.

You're right about the scenery, fantastic. Be interesting to see it in winter, snow covered mountains etc. Thanks for sharing.

Spectular Scenery of Lake Geneva, the Swiss Alps the little towns in between and coming into Milan; Geneva Station is beautiful; prices were good. This is on my bucket list.

Very nice approach to Milan. And thanks for the menu, I'm addicted to this sort of things!

It’s a real pleasure to follow all of your journeys! As a French living in Switzerland I love looking your videos especially the ones featuring my two countries ! Keep up the good work !

6:49 hope you review that double decker train in the future lol

Very nice video!!! You'll certainly want come back and try the Geneva-St-Gallen double deckers, Montreux-Luzern panoramic, Basel-Chiasso, Albula, Bernina, and Glacier Express lines 😀😀😀, and share it with your fans. I enjoy each of your videos, and they have the immense quality of letting us hear the actual sound of train travel. Keep on the good vibes! 👍👍

Amazing run. Switzerland never disappoints. You had good weather which was a bonus. Years ago the Direct Orient Express was routed this way on its run from Paris to Istanbul. Those were the days. 😊

Beautiful scenery, and it's always great to see Milano Centrale again.

Since December last year, swiss operator SOB operates the Gotthart mountain routes with trains from Zurich/Basel all the way to Locarno via the Gotthard mountain route. This new service called „Traverso“ is operated with brand new stadler trains and seems to offer a interesting on board service including high-quality vending machines. Maybe something for your next trip to Switzerland 🇨🇭😊

wow what amazing scenery the lakes and mountains in both Switzerland and northern italy so beautiful and also the seating looks professional also it must have been a good experience to sit in the dining car and watch the scenery go by

This is Great! Thank you for these super recommendations. I'm making a list!

The Alps are one of the world's most beautiful mountains. I now live vicariously through you Dylan. LoL I liked this train. I also liked the dining car. This area is my favorite part of the train. I'm surprised it was open inspire of the pandemic. I now know how to travel from Rome to Switzerland the next time I revisit Rome.

Wow! Fantastic scenery. This ride is definitely on my bucket list for a future trip to Europe. Great report as always.

Nice video Dylan, we took this train in 94, back then it was electric loco hauled and had old fashioned compartment style coaches.

What gorgeous scenery! I've traveled to St. Moritz from Milan via Torino and it was worth every minute of train time, much as your ride here was. I love seeing the restaurant car as well - always reminds me of the time when traveling by train seemed so stylish (at least in the movies and Agatha Christie books.) Thanks for the great review -- see you next week!

Great Video mate ,Thankyou.I love the scenery and Italian Lakes.Been to Lake Garda and it is simply stunning.Keep up the good work.

Great report, thanks for sharing.

Ive been to Switzerland once including to the Alps, after seeing this i really want to go back there, thanks for a great vid once again

I used to live in Montreux and work in Lausanne, so that stretch beside Lake Geneva was my daily commute! Made a wonderful change from the District Line in London...

Wonderful video Dylan, thank you.

Never had a bad journey on Swiss railways as they unlike UK railways concentrate on a passenger rather than profit. Compare this train to the plastic trains GWR etc have

That was an ideal ride with those cool blue interiors and beautiful scenery. This was the first train with an operating cafe car that I've seen on your blog in quite a while, though I take it that this was last summer. I can't imagine why the Swiss have their own style of power outlets.

Beautiful trip!!!!!! Wish I was their!! I love your adventures...... they take me there with you!! As always great job!!! Thank you! Kathy Washington State

Going to add this train adventure to my list. I love watching your videos as they give me wonderful ideas of different train trips I can do when I’ll be studying in Italy in 2022, this one looks breath taking

Wow, it's great scenery !

Nice video as usual, if you have a chance, you should try SBB CFF FFS RaBe 503 service between Milano and Zürich for 2 reasons: 1. Swiss Alpes scenary 2. The 57km long Gotthard Base Tunnel which is the longest rail tunnel in the world. That is one of the greatest engineering marvel.

Thank you for another excellent video ! Clearly, in view of your attire, you filmed this video last summer ! The ETR610s are excellent trains, and of course they tilt, which is why the journey time from Geneva to Milan is so good.

Wow! Switzerland looking nice. Clean urban areas and beautiful scenery.

Excellent again !!!

Deffo one for the list Dylan. Cheers bud!

I want to be there badly Thanks for upload Makes my need to travel intensified

Nice trip! I took this train once from Frankfurt to Basel. From my site of view I think it’s one of the best trains from SBB. Normally the trains are not very comfortable and often quite shabby. The worst think in Swiss trains is that you sit via-a-vis to 90%. Especially during COVID crisis it feels not good. But SBB is always punctual and reliable.

Thanks for sharing Dylan, I missed this trip a few years ago due to a rock on the tracks. Looks like I missed out!

Some of this trains in this route will be replaced shortly by newer Stadler Giruno RABe 501 units, as this series (Pendolinos) started replacing the loco-hauled train to Munchen via the newly electrified line in Allgäubahn. And the sound weren't a problem, I was thinking that was done for reduce some nearby loud sounds

Dylan, every bit of your vlog was spot on from the actual train to the scenery, since this was shot in July I was a bit suprised of the lack of face coverings that was being used. I see you still took the proper precautions 👍. Thanks for sharing and stay safe 😷.

Stunning views of the Alps 😊 the outside of Milan station looked rather special too Just a pity you didn’t have anyone to play “Snakes & Ladders” with during the police delays!! Another great film. Merci-Gratzi🤩

Wonderful Compilation. Very scenic journey

Nice trip, that ETR Train is awesome. The disappointment about this trip only when your train got delayed for a while because police enter on the train for unknown reason when in Lausanne. That Rolling Highway a.k.a Train transporting Truck when entering Italy looks great despite the locomotive is hidden behind the train in between your train and the Train transporting Truck.

Beautiful experience

Beautiful journey.

Another great video. Enjoy your enthusiastic commentary.

Nice vid. We’re doing this route next month. Flying into Geneva then train down to Stresa on Lago Maggiore. We’re returning to the same hotel where we spent our honeymoon - 40 years ago!

Beautiful trip!

Great video thank you Dylan.

Wow that was one wonderful journey thanks 🙏🥂

Real nice report! You were unlucky with the seat. The scenery on the other side of the train is even more fantastic, specialy in the Rhone valley. Keep on the nice reports!

Beautiful trip today Dylan.

Thanks for amazin train trip.

Great video! This train looks amazing, the only thing I don't like about SBB trains is that they have most of the seats configured as table seats. SBB Pendolino on this route is one of the top 10 trains in my wish list, I hope I'll try this train soon ..

Great video, thanks Dylan. My partner and I love exploring Switzerland by rail (he lived there for two years in the 1990s) and SBB-CFF-FFS takes a lot of beating. Not so keen on their pendolinos as they don't feel as spacious as the other express train stock, but otherwise a great experience.

Nice one.

VERY GOOD!

Awesome ❤️❤️❤️

Took this train in 2019. Same weather. Same delay in Domodossola. Scenery was so good I forgot to check out the restaurant car!

Hi Dylan I consider the retail shop the body shop excellent!!! I could spend the whole day their shoppinh

Hi Dylan I enjoyed the video!!!

A very good video Dylan and the journey I thought was very reasonable at £35. I would love to do the journey and afterwards Milan for shopping and back to Paris on SNCF when all this is over of course.....

You should try the route from Milan to Zurich as well. I did it a few times and the scenarios are just as amazing.

Thanks. As always, a very good video. As often, a small remark. We in Suisse romande do not know what SBB is. Intercantonal, we have Chemins de Fer Fédéraux (CFF). From Lausanne, Canton Vaud, you have a spectacular view Lac Léman. Only Genèvois call their much less impressive part of the lake Lac de Genève. Another sign of arrogance? The entire basin is called Léman, whether they like it or not. 😇😁

The train is very slick. The mountain views were amazing. Never saw a reading lamp in that position before. Wonder if the light bothers a person sitting across from it. Thanks for getting that shot from outside the station. Beautiful. I was surprised by two things: 1. Lots of people were not wearing masks and 2. The café was open.

9:36 No, that's not my phone number 😅

Very scenic trip - worth doing just for the scenery. Nice looking trainset, very modern, interior lighting and colours pleasant and as you said looked relaxing. Not sure the legroom would be great if there were 4 people in the seat set. Again thanks for the closeup of the locomotives including the connection which is interesting and different from North American trains. Electric tramway at 15:45, cool ! The station in Geneva was sort of ordinary but I noticed as you went in, a guy coming out with a dog on a leash; looked like he had been inside the station, couldn't do that here. Now that some trains are again opening their café cars it would be interesting to see what they serve. Thanks Dylan, this is a must do for visitors to Europe.

Amazing scenery throughout. Although the Alps were the mainstay, for some reason the flatlands of Italy and its suburbs with the sun beating down on the vegetation caught my attention more.

un beau voyage effectivement une bonne configuration des sièges et je pense un roulement doux

Not a lot of 😷 people in switzerland!! GOOD sign!! Getting over the covid 19 hurdle!! Awesome 👍

yesssss fire

Excellent video and excellent scenery. Have you done the St Raphael/Frejus run to San Remo through Cannes Nice and Monaco. Great views of the Med and a picturesque run altogether.

I took this in reverse back in March 2015 on my return journey from Venice. The mountains were covered in snow, which made the view even more breathtaking, but there was a lot of mist over Lake Geneva. The On-board WiFi didn't even get as far as asking for a mobile phone number (in fact I seem to recall that trying to connect caused my phone to overheat!) Unfortunately, the connecting Geneva to Lille service that I took for the final leg no longer runs.
