Transport Related Events in Switzerland
This page aims to give advance notice of transport related events in Switzerland. Many events are often announced with little notice and limited publicity. We are hoping that members discovering such events will make the information available via the Webmaster so that they can be included here.
Note - This is not intended for regular timetabled events, nor for those events not open to the general public.
Please send any details you
come across to the SRS Webmaster
at

These details are correct as far as we know at the time they are added to the website. SRS cannot take responsibility for any errors in the details, changes, cancellations, etc!
Please confirm details before travelling!
