(ID 57395)

The SBB LEX RABe 522 212 has arrived in La Plaine.

The SBB RABe 511 112 and two others are leaving Lancy Pont Rouge towards Annemasse.

At first glance, a mundane picture; but upon closer inspection, the destination display reveals the special feature: The SBB LEX RABe 522 220 is on its way to Vernier as Léman Express 23535 of the new RL7 line! Introduced with the timetable change, the RL7 connects Annemasse directly with Geneva Airport or with Vernier. The trains use the approximately 1 km long tunnel from Châtelaine, which is also used by freight trains on the Bellegarde - Genève La Praille route. Unfortunately, the service, which is based on strong demand, is not very extensive with only four train pairs per day, especially considering that one train pair runs to and from the airport, two trains go to Vernier, but only one returns, and the remaining three trains operate only on the Annemasse - Lancy Pont Rouge section.

At first glance, a mundane shot: a rear view of an SBB LEX RABe 522; the special feature: the SBB RABe 522 229 is operating as RL7 23535 on its way from Annemasse to Vernier and leaves the CEVA line at Jonction to reach Vernier via the connecting track. This connecting track was not used by passenger trains until the timetable change 2025/26 and is electrified with 25,000 volts 50 Hertz. It serves the (light) freight traffic from Genève La Praille to France (or local freight traffic). Unfortunately, I have not found a route number for this line. July 23, 2023 

While the SNCF Z 31500 (Coradia Polyvalent regional tri-current) arrives at Genève station as Léman Express from Annemasse, a Twindexx as IC 1 713 is on its way from Genève Aéroport station to St. Gallen. The photo was taken a few hundred meters west of Genève station near St-Jean. July 23, 2026 

Geneva with two arriving Léman Express RABe 522; the RABe 522 visible on the right side of the image operates under 25,000 volts/50 hertz and comes from La Plaine, the one visible in the background on the left comes from the direction of Annemasse and will continue to Coppet after a short stop.
