Also some EuroCity trains stop in Monza.

The principal network of international express trains in continental Europe is called EuroCity, to distinguish it from the national InterCity networks and to indicate its better support for international journeys even though some IC trains also cross borders.

These include EuroCity and EuroNight trains operating between Western and Eastern European destinations, most notably the EN Jan Kiepura direct sleeping cars which operate between Russia and Amsterdam, Basel and Munich via Warsaw, Poznań and Germany.

SBB also operates international EuroCity and EuroNight trains while within Switzerland, while Deutsche Bahn operates InterCityExpress services to, from, and ( a few services ) within the country.

* Ringsted railway station, served by both DSB domestic trains and international ( EuroCity ) services to Hamburg: frequent services to Copenhagen, Nykøbing Falster and Odense, although not all trains to Jutland stop at Ringsted — the bus station is in front of the railway station.

* EuroCity trains ( EC )

Cisalpino also operated conventional EuroCity trains on two routes: from Basel or Zurich to Milan via Gotthard and from Geneva to Milan via Simplon.

These trains were run with traditional Swiss or Italian EuroCity non-tilting rolling stock.

The only way to tell which EuroCity is an old tilting train is to check whether folding bicycles are allowed ( the tilting trains have no space for such luggage ).

EuroCity services to Munich and regional trains to St. Gallen, Konstanz or Romanshorn also serve the station.

The EuroCity label replaces the older Trans Europ Express name for border-crossing trains in Europe.

The first sixty-four EuroCity trains, fifty-six day services ( indexnrs.

In 1993 it was decided that EuroCity trains must complete their journey between 6: 00 am and midnight.

Many of the EuroCity trains carry names continuing the practice started for the luxury trains of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

An international variant of the InterCity are the EuroCity ( EC ) trains which were introduced in May 1987.

EuroCity trains consist of high-standard, Air conditioned coaches and are usually subject to on-board border controls.

However, contrary to most other countries, these are often little more than regional rail, as most long-distance, high-standard trains in Austria are likely to be EuroCity ( EC ) services, even when not leaving the Austrian borders ( named ÖBB-EuroCity until 2011 ).

It is therefore easily accessible by the frequent EuroCity and InterCity trains going along this route.

Eurostar and EuroCity are examples of this.

On the Zurich-Milan route they are now also called EuroCity.

Despite these problems and the closure of the Cisalpino Company the ETR 470 continues to run as EuroCity ( see EuroCity section ).

Every 30 minutes, it is served by a long-distance ( Intercity-Express, InterCity, EuroCity or City Night Line ) service in each direction.

* A EuroCity class train on the route Prague-Bratislava-Budapest operated by České dráhy bears the name Jaroslav Hašek.

The Central Station ( Recklinghausen Hauptbahnhof ), which is served by Intercity and EuroCity services, and the South Station ( Recklinghausen Südbahnhof ).

Most trains were replaced by a new international intercity network with the name EuroCity which provides both 1st and 2nd class service.

In Forst, there is a railway bridge across the Neiße belonging to the line Cottbus – Żary which is serviced by regional trains and a EuroCity train between Hamburg and Kraków ( 2011 ).

The EuroCity network began operating on 31 May 1987, and with effect from that date the last remaining international Trans-Europe Express trains were redesignated or withdrawn, except the Gottardo ( reclassified as EuroCity in September 1988 ), but the TEE designation continued in use for a few domestic trains operating entirely within France until 1 June 1991.

A pass will generally grant a passenger free transportation on an ordinary train ( for example, EuroCity trains and Regional ).

At the Vogelfluglinie route, EuroCity and ICE uses the train ferry from Rødby ( Denmark ) to Puttgarden on the island of Fehmarn ( Germany ), at this point the train proceeds via Lübeck and Hamburg to Berlin.

DB Fernverkehr operates all InterCityExpress and Intercity trains in Germany as well as several EuroCity trains throughout Europe.

During the 2009 timetable Cisalpino also operated three couples of Milan-Bellinzona EuroCity with Italian stock.

In September 1993 certain former-TEE trains operating non-stop journeys between Brussels and Paris ( or vice-versa ), which had been converted to EuroCity and offered both first-and second-class coaches, were rebranded as Trans-Europe Expresses, but remaining two-class trains.

* 2008 – A EuroCity express train en-route from Kraków, Poland to Prague, Czech Republic strikes a part of a motorway bridge that had fallen onto the railroad track near Studénka railway station in the Czech Republic and derails, killing 8 people and injuring 64 others.

EuroCity, abbreviated EC, denotes an international train service within the European inter-city rail network.

Some high mountain villages, such as Avoriaz ( in France ) Wengen and Zermatt ( in Switzerland ) are accessible only by cable car or cog-rail trains, and are car free.

Tsing Ma Bridge and Kap Shui Mun Bridge in Hong Kong have six lanes on their upper decks, and on their lower decks there are two lanes and a pair of tracks for MTR metro trains.

These trains are used for InterCity services from London to the East Midlands and South Yorkshire.

Immigration and customs checks are conducted at the platform exit tunnel for passengers leaving trains here.

Rail transport is fairly developed, with dual track and electrification not very common, although high-speed tilting trains are used on some routes.

Non-English names include Treno suburbano in Italian, Cercanías in Spanish, Rodalies in Catalan, Nahverkehrszug in German ( and in most larger cities S-Bahns though these trains also often include city centre metro-like sections where lines have merged and services become more frequent, and stations are closer together to better distribute passengers into the city core ), Train de banlieue in French, Příměstský vlak in Czech and Elektrichka in Russian.

Most commuter ( or suburban ) trains are built to main line rail standards, differing from light rail or rapid transit ( metro rail ) systems by:

For example, so-called " intercity " trains in Belgium and the Netherlands carry many commuters and their equipment, range and speeds are similar to those of commuter trains in some larger countries.

Russian commuter trains, on the other hand, frequently cover areas larger than Belgium itself, although these are still short distances by Russian standards.

Commuter / suburban trains are usually optimized for maximum passenger volume, in most cases without sacrificing too much comfort and luggage space, though they seldom have all the amenities of long-distance trains.

Commuter rail trains are usually composed of multiple units, which are self-propelled, bidirectional, articulated passenger rail cars with driving motors on each ( or every other ) bogie.

Commuter trains are currently uncommon in China, although a small system has been inaugurated in Beijing in 2008.

In Russia, Ukraine and some other countries of the former Soviet Union, electrical multiple unit passenger suburban trains called Elektrichka are widespread.

They are particularly popular in underground subway stations, because they are heavy, and when air currents are created by the movement of trains, the force will be applied to both wings of the door, thus equalizing the force on either side, keeping the door shut.

For example, in Man with a Movie Camera, two trains are shown almost melting into each other, although we are taught to see trains as not riding that close, Vertov tried to portray the actual sight of two passing trains.
