lexandeEnabled by Deutschlandticket (€49/month unlimited local/regional transit in Germany) & the Italia In Tour ticket (€29/3days unlimited Trenitalia regional trains), I'm planning to spend the next few days traveling from Berlin to Southern Italy entirely on local & regional trains.

The single-track railway across Liechtenstein is the main route for nonstop intercity Switzerland-Austria trains, so there's not much space for local trains. In 2020 Liechtenstein voters rejected https://vorarlberg.orf.at/stories/3064562/ a referendum to double-track it & expand service.
Verkehr: „Nein“ zum Ausbau der S-Bahn Liechtenstein
Die Liechtensteiner Bevölkerung hat sich am Sonntag bei einer Volksabstimmung gegen den Ausbau der S-Bahn in Liechtenstein entschieden. 62,3 Prozent (10.382 Stimmen) sagten Nein. Mobilitätslandesrat Johannes Rauch (Grüne) bedauert den Ausgang.
Diego@lexande I wonder how hard they negotiate the rail tolls for the through trains.
(But I just checked: the Zurich-Vienna train is slow so I guess Liechtenstein doesn't have much leverage.)
@DiegoBeghin The line is owned by ÖBB; I think Liechtenstein may have given the Austrians a pretty good deal in the 19th century to convince them to route the line that way.
