The Swiss government has just given the go-ahead for a big expansion of the train line that runs between Zürich and Winterthur. The plan is to add four tracks to the main line and build a new tunnel that is 9 km long.
🚄 What this means
This expansion will speed up and make train trips between Zürich and Winterthur more dependable. Students who live near either city will have an easier time getting to and from school. They will spend less time travelling and more time studying or exploring.
Why it matters for international students
Students living in Winterthur but studying in Zürich (or vice versa) will benefit from easier commutes.
It improves access to academic, social, and cultural resources across both cities.
Improved transport helps reduce travel stress and gives more freedom of movement — a big plus for anyone adjusting to life abroad.
A sign of Switzerland’s commitment to growth and connection
This upgrade to the infrastructure shows that Switzerland, and Zürich in particular, is putting money into making life better for residents and students by making it easier to get around. Zürich keeps showing that it's a great place to study, live, and work, thanks to its modern infrastructure, good schools, and easy access.
