That’s why the smell of feces is coming from SBB trains at this time
It stinks when you walk with FV friends SBB train. Inside it’s shaking, outside it’s stinky: The problems with the Bombardier train don’t stop. The reason for the unpleasant smell is completely natural.

What’s the problem with walking? There are no houses. They have been banned for years. In older trains, they were gradually replaced with modern toilet facilities. Wastewater is collected in tanks, the solid components are separated from the liquid, the solids are collected and, if necessary, sucked out.
finally solved problem
After being biologically cleaned and heated in the bioreactor, the liquid parts are removed during the journey. And that’s where the stink problem lies: The bacteria that clean up the wastewater are currently running across the border. They are currently in need of some support, “because after several months of low occupancy, passenger numbers are on the rise again,” write the SBB at Blick’s request.
Simply put, this means that the bioreactors on the newly delivered Bombardier trains can no longer cope with high amounts of heat. “The employees of the SBB are busy adding a lot of fresh bacteria to the overloaded bacteria,” Federal Railways says. However, it still requires some patience. This will also prevent the smell of rose water at railway stations in future. But feces-odor free air is a start.
