A new night train will be running from Switzerland to Sweden next year.
The Federal Transport Office says it will subsidize the train from Basel to Malmö – running through Copenhagen.
The money will come from the fund created by the CO2 law designed to cut carbon emissions.
The transport office is also spending CHF 5m to upgrade the trains known as the Gotthard trains – as they’re normally used to run through the Gotthard Base Tunnel – so they can run as a maximum speed of 250 kph – instead of the current 200.
The new speeds will allow direct services to Venice, Genoa and Bologna.
