The project, initiated in 2008, will finally see direct trains operating on the Montreux - Zweisimmen - Interlaken Ost route, bridging both 1'000 and 1'435 mm track gauges. All units are delivered between September 2020 and the end of 2021.

These coaches are part of a cutting-edge train system that uses passenger cars with variable gauge bogies and a gauge changer installed at the Zweisimmen station.

The coaches have been meticulously designed and manufactured by Stadler, with Pininfarina contributing to the end car design and Innova Design from UK working on interior and exterior elements. Special bogies, developed by Alstom, ensure smooth and efficient operation on different track gauges. / Sources: https://www.railvolution.net/news/goldenpass-express-at-the-start
