Bern, Switzerland (RSR, Fre) – Politicians from the Lake Geneva region failed to succeed once again in getting Parliament to back construction of a third rail line between Lausanne and Geneva.
Proposals for a new line to ease saturated passenger traffic in the region have come up several times as part of proposals for the second half of the ZEB 2020 national rail programme. The UDC right-wing party has remained firmly against the project, saying it would push the programme over its budget.
