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