a few new swiss pics
17th February 2008

This is growing collection of pictures as i find time to process them over the coming few weeks.
The trip involved a few nights in Chur to sample on street running and a lot of great sights on the Rhatische Bahn to Tirano and Arosa.
The journey started with my first trip out of London st Pancras on a eurostar to Paris. I really wanted to do a loco hauled service to Mulhouse but yet again i had to miss out, this time the reason being to get to Chur that night meant eating up the miles quickly on a TGV. But then the fun began... 3 days in Switzerland.
