Re: Disillusionment! Swiss trains running late

Hi,
I completely agree and share your frustations!
After all I heard about SWISS trains, I am surprised and desapointed.

1.Cost very high, thats swiss, for sure.
2.LEB NEVER on time this week (15-20 delays on average)
3. poor signalisations
4. signs telling when the train will come never works
5. poor information (for ex. when delays a voice say trains are running 5 min late, then nothing: train came 15 min late)
6.timetables hard to understand and incomplete. For example it mentions "sundays a 7 into a circle". That indication is NEVER on the timetable! I looked for the same symbol everywhere it never appears>
7. not frequent services, although I understand not many users on the LEB.
8. System pretty dumb, especially for optionnal stops: during normal time, with the low frequency of LEB trains, everyone stop at every stops...
9. design inside pretty poor, for example the "trash" for cigarets (?) takes some space on the windows seats, and I cant put my legs completely, ok it's not that much but if you have a fatso next to you its difficult..
Edit: 10. Quite lots of stupid kids, etc... LEB let them do anything, this sunday I saw some at the LEB station putting bags on fire. no one cares and poor frequentation. I feel I will have a few conflicts with those dumbs, but LEB has no security or does not attempt to move them away.


etc...
Well other things are good, buses are often, etc... but the LEB simply su.cks!
Can you please tell us simpletons what LEB means, so we know what spot in this banana republic to steer clear of?
