The catering will only be a machine such as is found on the current Voralpen Express (Which I have used and found quite good)

Will these trains be similar to the new ones ordered by SOB or will it be a whole new sub production from Stadler (e.g. new cab design, etc)? The images look a little like a Giruno cab mounted on a more traditional Flirt chassis

The new cab design is due to new crashworthiness standards coming in next year but their will be some similarity with the SOB units. BLS/SOB initially planned a joint order but SOB needed their trains sooner than BLS so in the end ordered separately
