These trains, on route IC 5, commence their journeys at Geneve-Aeroport station.
It takes the trains around 5 mins to travel from there to the main station in Geneve before they then head off to Biel/Bienne.
From the right of the train (when facing the direction) of travel, there are some lovely views over Lake Biel for the final 30 mins of the journey.
