Panorama Express, abbreviated PE, is a special category of long-distance train in Switzerland. It was introduced with the December 2019 timetable change, and is generally used to denote tourism-focused services.[1]
Characteristics of a Panorama Express can include first- and second-class seating, air-conditioned coaches, and a limited number of intermediate stops. Advance reservations are often required but not necessarily compulsory.[2]
Examples
editExamples of PE trains include the Bernina Express, Glacier Express, and Gotthard Panorama Express. Previously, the Voralpen Express also ran as a PE, but it was subsequently changed to IR.
