Obligatory travel-home post: This journey from Sanremo to Zurich involves three uneventful InterCity and EuroCity trains. Having travelled more often to the north and the Baltic Sea, I am surprised at how quickly one can travel back home to Zurich from the Mediterranean Sea each time. I am still not used to this new ten-year-old Gotthard Base Tunnel. Grazie, ciao e a presto! 👋 #SanRemoto

Any passenger who was still sleepy at 7 o'clock on Sunday morning is wide awake now. #SanRemoto

Before leaving #Sanremo, let’s celebrate the station's underground 2000s charm once again. #SanRemoto

I didn't know there were direct trains from Ventimiglia to Milan. However, even though it's a classic, loco-hauled regional train, I'm glad I can spend the night in Sanremo. #SanRemoto

The #Tenda line is international, as the French trains run from Nice to Tende and the Italian trains from Cuneo to Ventimiglia, but crossing French territory. I have used the Italian one before, so I am feeling a bit lazy and haven't taken any pictures. #SanRemoto

My first TER on the #Tenda line is an AGC with a refurbished interior. It makes such a huge difference to the AGC's grimy, old interior. There is even a line-specific livery. Along the line, you can see the line's old rolling-stock. #SanRemoto

The #Tenda line is always worth a visit. The railway offers stunning vistas of rocky valleys, blending alpine and Mediterranean charm. This is particularly special for me as I haven't travelled on the Nice-Breil section before. My train has a lot more @siegeavecvue than passengers. Perfect for taking some train window pictures! 😊 #SanRemoto

Nice, a station with fig trees between the platforms! #SanRemoto

A new day, a new goal: trainspotting along one of the remaining coastal sections of the Ventimiglia–Genoa railway line. The highlight is the first westbound #Trenitalia InterCity of the day. 😊 #SanRemoto

I arrived slightly too late for #Sanremo 's trolleybus. #SanRemoto
