- The traffic situation also did not relax completely on Sunday.
- In eastern Switzerland in particular more snowfall, cold and slippery ice are causing problems in some cases.
- There are train cancellations and delays.
Sunday also snows in many places in northern and western Switzerland. However, especially in the west, the sometimes moderate southwest wind ensures slightly milder temperatures just above the freezing point and subsequently the snowfall line temporarily rose to more than 500 meters above sea level. .
Cold, snow and slippery ice continue to cause train cancellations and delays, especially in eastern Switzerland. So it was all about barriers and trade breaks, as an SBB spokesperson said on request. Sometimes there were new problems with the thaw, because the branches can break under the snow load and damage the overhead lines.
Between Walzenhausen AR and Rheineck SG, all trains were temporarily canceled on Sunday due to heavy snowfall, as announced by SBB. Rail traffic between Weissbad AI and Wasserauen AI was disrupted due to strong winds. Replacement buses operated there. And between Rebstein SG and Marbach SG, icy rail systems caused temporary train delays and cancellations. A technical malfunction also led to train delays and cancellations at the St. Margrethen SG train station
There were also disruptions in international rail traffic. For example, trains between Basel SBB and Mulhouse were temporarily canceled and train delays and cancellations between Zurich and Stuttgart should be expected.
Rail traffic between Brienz and Interlaken Ost in the Bernese Oberland remains disrupted. An avalanche fell there on Thursday.
Public transport in the city of Zurich is even more restricted
In the city of Zurich, the operation of the tram is still severely restricted by ice. Many tram lines continue to run only on partial routes or remain completely closed, according to the Zurich transport company. Most bus routes are running again, but buses run on some routes at irregular intervals.
