Zürich to Konstanz - Switzerland to Germany (just) with SBB regional

The second part of my Sunday trip across Switzerland sees me continuing my journey on from Zürich Hauptbahnhof through the lush Swiss low(er)lands to the border city of Konstanz, which is by the lake of the same name.

We're a little way away from the true Swiss alpine scenery, so it gives us the chance to see what some of the rest of Switzerland has to offer. Also, we'll be rolling along inside the double-deck regional stock that puts many regional trains (certainly in the UK) to shame. It is a very comfortable ride indeed.
