Südostbahn director Thomas Küchler sharply criticizes the government’s planned railway expansion: “The Federal Council’s Rail 2050 perspective is a fundamental mistake.” (archive image)

Küchler assessed the planned expansion of the railway system as primarily politically motivated. Only the tunnel between Lausanne and Geneva is needed because there are “major problems” in French-speaking Switzerland. “But the other projects are all requirements of the cantons,” says Küchler, who was a member of the Transport Committee of the Council of States on behalf of the trade association. “I felt like I was in a bazaar,” said the director of the Südostbahn (SOB) in an interview with the “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” published on Friday.

Politicians only look at how much money is in the railway infrastructure fund “and each canton makes plans and expresses wishes,” Küchler said.
