Distances between stations Switzerland

[LouJ]

Is there any web site or other method of establishing distances between stations in Switzerland?

I am particulalrly interested in the section between Arth Goldau and Luzern but would also be interested in other routes.

 

[33056]

Luzern to Arth-Goldau via Küssnacht am Rigi is 27.79km, via Rotkreuz is 34.64km.

There is a book "Continental Miles & Chains" by Stuart Clarke with all the Swiss distances in, though I am not sure if Stuart still has any available. His e-mail address is available on this link if you want to drop him a line.

Hi Lou,

That's a real easy one.

Go to

Fahrplanfelder.ch (the ‘proper’ printed Swiss timetable in on line form):

http://www.fahrplanfelder.ch/en/welcome/

In the ‘archives/graphic timetables’ section is nearly every Swiss line (certainly all SBB lines). The graphic timetable not only gives you the exact location of every train all day, each graphic has a gradient profile and distances to one side

Here’s the link

Arth Goldau – Luzern (the ‘direct’ route via Meggen) is route 53:

But of course many Arth Goldau – Luzern trains now go via Immensee so you’ll have to check other graphics if you want that route


Lou, if you recall, back in March I gave you the link to Fahrplanfelder.ch when I cited that Switzerland was the best country for resources about rail geography and scheduling:

Thanks for the info.

I remember the link but hadn't found the archive section (or probably not realised what was in it!)
