The Orion trains offer passengers a significant increase in comfort and well-being, ensuring unforgettable travel experiences alongside the breathtaking mountain scenery.
The trains make a convincing impression with their innovative front design and distinctive color scheme. The appearance of the Orion multiple-unit trains exudes confidence and elegance.
Iconic Front Design
From a distance, Orion trains are easily identifiable by their distinctive front design and unique headlight concept. The striking appearance of the front cabin integrates the destination display, front window, and headlights into a cohesive design. This integration visually enlarges the front window, giving the train a distinct identity.
Livery
The bold red and white livery, prominently featuring the MGB logo, imparts an unmistakable Swiss identity to the train. The distribution of areas in colour adds a subtle sense of lightness. This effect is particularly pronounced in winter, creating a captivating impression where the train seems to glide through the snowy landscape on the tracks.
