Lemano (train)

Initially, the departure in Milan was just after nine in the morning, arriving just after lunch in Geneva, around 1:30 p.m.

This alteration was not appreciated by the customers because it made the scheduled arrival time in Milan very late in the evening, just before midnight.

After two years it was decided to depart from Geneva at 1:30 p.m.; the departure from Milan was moved earlier as well.

[5] Returning business travellers could ride from Geneva to Lausanne after the meeting and board the TEE Cisalpin to Milan calling at around 6 p.m. On 28 May 1972, the DMUs were replaced by Gran Conforto coaches built by FIAT and hauled by electric locomotives.

[6] Despite attempts to improve the schedule, passenger numbers never reached a level as high as in the first three years,[7] and eventually the Lemano was downgraded to a two-class InterCity service, on 23 May 1982.
