I don't get this. Zurich is in Switzerland. I don't think even with this tunnel opening we will be getting from Zurich to Milan in under 2 hours... Are your numbers wrong?

Edit: we will be looking at journey times of about 170 minutes from Zurich to Milan AFTER the tunnel opens.

Yeah - I've done that journey and have in mind that it takes about 4 hours right now from Zürich to Milan by train (with various stops)

The TGV Paris-Lyon takes less than 2 hours to cover a substantially longer distance.

The terrain geography in Switzerland doesn't allow you to drive constantly with 300km/h, in France it's a different story
