A bendy-bus on stilts in the depot of Bernmobile.

In the tram part of the depot, this yellow remote-controlled tractor can move trams around.

The group learns the history of one of the cars from the President of the Tram Museum Bern.

Most of the group visiting Spiez depot listen to their guide.

Part of the model of the Lötschberg base tunnel, used for training exercises, with one of our
guides (our group was split in two).

Half the group in one of the power supply halls in the tunnel, as photographed by one of the
other half.

Part of the visitor display - 1600m underground.

The Blonay-Chamby train at Blonay.  There is no run-round, so the train is propelled out of the
station, the loco uncoupled, then the train rolls back into the platform under gravity.

Will is stop?  The return train (for some of the party) runs into Chamby.
