    The Lake Constance: Schaffhausen to Kreuzlingen route is part of the Swiss “Seelinie” (Lake Line) from Schaffhausen to Rorschach, which is the Swiss part of the train-ring around the Bodensee (Lake Constance), and located in the Thurgau region. This route features the stunning part from Kreuzlingen to Schaffhausen.

    The route as it is today was built in 4 segments from 1869 to 1895. Initially, there were 3 Swiss train companies who had built routes in this area. One after another, the NOB (Swiss Northeastern Railway) took over the separate parts and united them. In 1902, when Switzerland started nationalising its railway companies, SBB took over the route. They started electrifying the route in 1928, but because of its status as a branch line, it took until 1969 to complete electrification.

    The rolling stock

    The GTW, an abbreviation of the German for articulated multiple-unit train, is a single-decker regional train. With the first generation of its own articulated multiple unit vehicles, Stadler laid the foundations in 1995 for its current success as a train builder with a comprehensive passenger transport package.

    These will run 67 services along the route

    Scenarios:

    Raining Bahn(75 mins) run a service from schaffhausen to kreuzlingen in the rain

    Return Back: (150 mins) run a service from kreuzlingen to schaffhausen and then return back to kreuzlingen

    Night Service (18 mins) drive a night service from schaffhausen to diessenhofen

    Excellent idea and if you want this to link up to the Gotthard Bahn these sections must be made Schaffhausen Zurich and Zurich to Erstfeld via Lucerne. Combined with those routes DTG can sell them as a bundle with this one possibly called Swiss routes Lake Constance to the Alps via Zurich.
