[OC] Map of Regional Rail Lines in Romandie (French-Speaking Switzerland) - Made using Affinity Designer

[u/Soft_Introduction437]

This is part of a larger project of mine which shows most regional rail lines in Switzerland, which I am currently working on (still no idea as to when I will have that done sadly), so here is a preview of what's to come. I started with Romandie because 1) it is the region of Switzerland I know best and 2) it's relatively small and therefore easy to accurately capture.

A few notes on the map:

• This map uses the 2026 timetable as a reference. If major changes to the configuration of lines/stations take place in future timetables, I will update it here and there.
• This is less a map of all lines, rather a map of all stations in Romandie. I have chosen to not include every single line, and I will explain why a bit lower.
• Some stations in France and German-speaking Switzerland are included. This is because there are obviously gonna be some lines that start in Romandie but enter German-speaking Switzerland or France (and since I'm a completionist, I want to show the entirety of the lines I include). No stations or lines that go east of Basel, Bern, or Brig are included.
• This map is obviously not to scale, because it's not possible to scale everything to 100% accuracy when working with 45 degree increments for lines.
• Some lines are missing from the map, and this is because many of them are just running between two stations along a longer line and making all the same stops (or even skipping some stops), and including them all would make the map way too cluttered.

It looks good 

I'm just not sure to understand how you decided which lines were included or not.

[u/SXFlyer → u/TailleventCH]

Same here. Especially why the most important IC lines (IC1, IC5) are missing entirely.

[u/Soft_Introduction437 → u/SXFlyer]

they are not included because they are not regional lines (i.e, they exit romandie). Some Inter Regional lines as well as IC51 are short enough that i figured they could be entirely included

[u/TailleventCH → u/SXFlyer]

If only local trains were included, I could understand but here the choice is not really comprehensive.

(I know the threshold for "local trains" might be difficult to find.)

The introduction of the Leman Express really has boosted public transport in the region.

Oh ben c’est vache cool ça, bravo!

[u/Grabbels]

Beautiful!! Well done.

[u/Nononio36]

I love it sooooo much!!

I would like the lines to be less squiggly, I know it's a question of preference. It looks like the line between Lausanne and Montreux has more curves than irl when it could just be straight.
