The family coach.
All InterCity long-distance double-deck trains (IC2000s and LD-double-deckers) include a family coach. The family coaches are kitted out with a play area with various motifs in the middle of their upper deck, where your little ones can let off steam to their heart’s content.
Where in the train is the family coach located?
The family coach play area is located on the upper deck of the driving coach and can be recognised from a distance thanks to its jungle and dragon-themed motifs. The lower floor has spaces for stowing pushchairs The doors are at least 71 cm wide.
InterCity trains with family coaches are marked in the online timetable and the SBB Mobile app with ‘FA’.
