The plan was for the trains to run three times a week in both directions all year round. The project is a collaboration between the Swiss railway company SBB and the German RDC Germany.

It was expected to cost the Swiss state the equivalent of approximately SEK 110 million. But now the parliament has voted against contributing to the project.

SBB has been selling tickets for the line, which was supposed to start operating this spring, for about a month now.
