@quixoticgeek No. “Die Entgleisung im Gotthard-Basistunnel am 10. August 2023 wirkt sich stark auf den Bahnverkehr aus. Personenzüge werden bis voraussichtlich September 2024 grösstenteils über die Panoramastrecke umgeleitet. In diesem Artikel finden Sie die Antworten auf Ihre dringendsten Fragen rund um Ihre Reise.”
Alternate route expected until September this year. https://news.sbb.ch/artikel/124161/entgleisung-im-gotthard-basistunnel-alles-was-sie-fuer-ihre-reise-wissen-muessen

@mrtnsnp boo :(

@quixoticgeek Yes, it takes way more time, but the alternate route is rather scenic. Every cloud has a silver lining, or so.

quixoticgeek, 2 months ago

@mrtnsnp yeah. But I've been wanting to see the tunnel since it opened.

@quixoticgeek Ah. I won't stop you.

It is about 25 minutes of black, not a lot to see, certainly compared to the rest of the journey. Ideal moment to visit the toilet, with time to spare.

@mrtnsnp my plan had been tunnel one way, scenic route the other way.
