The Rhätische Bahn in Switzerland took delivery of a new electric unit from Stadler a couple of weeks ago (RHB Press release). It’s being tested at the moment with a view to introduction in the May 2010 timetable change. I’ve not been able to glean a lot of information except that it’s an (/12 wheel [...]

Posting is a bit sporadic at the moment because I’m still trying to get everything sorted for the move, and there isn’t enough banmdwidth in the world to detail the trials and tribulations of dealing with utilities companies.
