Why does the Swiss glacier train run so slowly?

Train is a means of transportation in our daily life. Although high-speed rail has replaced some trains in recent years, its advantages are still obvious. Although it is slower than the high-speed rail, the train traffic is much larger than the high-speed rail. Around the world, some trains are a little different. Today, Bian Xiao will introduce the Glacier Train, one of the top ten luxury trains in the world.

Glacier train is a very famous train in Switzerland. It is not as luxurious as the Royal Scottish train, nor does it cross Wan Li in mileage like the Siberian Golden Eagle. However, being selected as one of the top ten luxury trains in the world naturally has its unique charm, with hundreds of thousands of tourists taking glacier trains every year.

The glacier train connects Zermatt and Saint Moritz in Switzerland. They have one thing in common, that is, the famous ski resort in Switzerland. During the whole journey of nearly 8 hours, you can also enjoy various scenery along the way. This is not so much a train as a sightseeing bus in Switzerland.

I heard that the whole journey takes 8 hours, and you may think that the two ski resorts in Switzerland are far apart. But this is not the case. The speed of this train is so slow that you can't imagine, only 30 kilometers per hour. To tell the truth, driving is not so slow, except in some special places.

Although the glacier train is the slowest train in the world, people have not complained about it because of its speed. On the contrary, passengers will even complain that the train runs too fast and should be slower. When we take some trains, we sometimes complain that it is too slow. Unexpectedly, the speed of the glacier train is only 30 kilometers per hour, and we will be complained that the speed is too fast.

This happens because the scenery along the glacier train is so beautiful that passengers can't leave. According to statistics, 250,000 passengers take this glacier train every year. During the whole journey, the train will shuttle through 9 1 tunnel, hundreds of bridges and even over the peak of more than 2000 meters.

The slowest train in the world has a speed of only 30km/h, but passengers complain too fast, with an annual passenger flow of 250,000.

Generally, tourist guides for scenic spots written in multiple languages will be put on glacier trains to meet the needs of tourists who travel around the world every year. In addition, headphones will be provided free of charge on the train to listen to the commentary.
