It's time for a short hop from Konstanz (DE) to St Gallen (CH) on a rather wet Monday morning in March. But the fun part is that we'll get to try out the area's local trains that are provided by Thurbo "Die Regionalbahn".

Thurbo is operated by SBB, with support from the local canton government of Thurgau (hence the name). The service is provided by a fleet of Stadler GTW EMUs in a rather fetching white livery and so we get the chance to give one of them a go.
