Railway 2.0 » swisstrains.ch http://www.railway20.net The Railway World looked from the Web Fri, 06 Jan 2012 21:01:30 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 What’s going on the Swiss railways? http://www.railway20.net/2010/02/whats-going-on-the-swiss-railways/ http://www.railway20.net/2010/02/whats-going-on-the-swiss-railways/#comments Thu, 11 Feb 2010 07:00:34 +0000 Railway 2.0 http://www.railway20.net/?p=99 There’s a smart and clear way Swiss travellers have to check the punctuality of their train. As well there’s a way for rail enthusiast to be always up to date with every train movement on SBB net. The first one is pretty useless considering the well known efficiency of Swiss railways.

Frankly, I have not understood who is the creator of the web application but www.swisstrains.ch is for sure one of the best site I found that let the users track a train position on Google Maps including statistics, timetables and possibility to make queries per train number or per station.

Interesting the “follow” function that shows real time positions of  a specific train, something like a radar monitoring Swiss traffic.
