National Railway Infrastructure Development Programme – Message 2026 | EBP

We are supporting the Federal Office of Transport with the preparation of the “Message 2026” pertaining to the next development stage of rail infrastructure in Switzerland. Within the scope of this stage, we are examining the direct connection between Aarau and Zurich, the nodes of Lucerne and Basel, the capacity expansion and acceleration of Lausanne-Bern and Winterthur-St. Gallen, as well as auxiliary infrastructure measures to increase the robustness and stability of the 2035 service concept.
