The railways in Switzerland are known for their top quality, but it doesn't always go to plan. I'm riding on the SBB 'TWINDEXX Swiss Express', a double-deck high-speed train intended to be Switzerland's flagship fleet, and finding out just what went wrong.

![Riding the STUNNING Douro Valley railway line in Portugal! (Comboios de Portugal Review) [VOICEOVER]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rVY-IF-14yY/mqdefault.jpg "Riding the STUNNING Douro Valley railway line in Portugal! (Comboios de Portugal Review) [VOICEOVER]
Hello, and welcome back to another train trip report on my channel.
**This is also my first voiceover video, so I would really appreciate your thoughts and feedback on the new format. Please do leave a comment.**
In this video I will be travelling on-board a CP 1400 + Schindler from Porto-Campanhã to Pocinho.
This journey takes place on the stunning MiraDouro line, through the strikingly picturesque Douro Valley. The motive power for this trip is even an English Electric built diesel locomotive, which seems right at home on Portuguese tracks.
Its an incredible experience, and one I recommend to anyone in the area, whether they are interested in railways or not.
Enjoy the video. :)
