At least it was not a bombing raid like the USA getting Kosova in the Balkans confused with Kotulipa in the Slovak Republic.

the precision of the Swiss railway system is often lauded, but my cousin, who is an ex railway man, reckons that more trains pass through Clapham Junction alone on a daily basis, than travel on the whole of their railway system.

Anyway, it's a fabulous country.

Or when the USA "accidentally" bombed the Chinese Embassey?

They were only about 4 miles off. I was walking in that area last week. Beautiful countryside.

Not sure that's really true, Zurich HB is probably the busiest station in Europe.

I do agree with NotAllThere's comment about getting close to capacity though.
