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.

SBB LEX RABe 522 220 has arrived at the destination of its journey as Léman Express 23535 on the new RL7 line. The train was very well occupied. The route first follows the usual CEVA line, then goes through the approximately one-kilometer-long Chatalaine Tunnel before the line merges into the Genève - La Plaine line. But back to the picture: The train is now standing in Vernier and must be quickly parked, as the RL5 to La Plaine will arrive in a few minutes. The train will be parked at the former station and current cargo site Vernier-Meyrin. Whether it will remain there until the evening for the return service is unknown to me. April 16, 2026 
