Eine Fahrt mit dem Führer eines Beh 4/8 Triebwagens von Bex nach Villars und dann mit dem Führer eines BDeh 4/4 Triebwagens von Villars nach 
Col-de-Bretaye

We accompany the drivers on the journey along the lines of the Bex Villars Bretaye company, now part of the Transports Publics du Chablais, which operate in southwestern Switzerland from the Rhone valley into the mountains of the Vaudois Alps. This is a winter journey filmed on a sunny February day with snow on the ground and blue skies and sunshine for the entire trip.

The first section of the journey is made in the cab of one of the modern Beh 4/8 railcar sets, which only came into service in 2001. This twelve and a half kilometre long metre gauge rack and adhesion line, opened between 1898 and 1901, is busy with passengers travelling from the station at Bex to the popular resort of Villars.

At Villars we change trains to join the driver of a BDeh 4/4 motor baggage car for the 4.6 kilometre long rack assisted journey to the Col-de-Bretaye. This is a popular destination for walkers in summer and is a ski region in winter, and the train pushes a ski rack with the guard riding in the open air on the front of this wagon for the majority of the way.

This cab ride has been produced by the MITV team using broadcast quality equipment and stereo sound recording. It has been digitally mastered. The programme has natural sound with no commentary. Stations and tunnels are named on screen.
