Do the Trains Run on Easter Sunday
Here’s where it gets weird: Some trains actually add services on Easter Sunday. Why? Because airport shuttles figure you’re fleeing your family, and tourist trains to seaside towns know you’ll trade a sermon for a soggy chip butty. In Australia, the famous Indian Pacific train runs right through Easter—because when you’re crossing a desert, even Jesus respects the timetable.
But the crowned champion is Switzerland. Their trains run so flawlessly on Easter that they once delivered a chocolate egg to a passenger who forgot their ticket. I made that up, but it feels true. Pro tip: Never rely on a Swiss train being cancelled. The universe would implode.
What about the actual Easter Bunny? Does he take the train? According to folklore, he prefers the chocolate express—which is just a regular train where everyone shares candy. But secretly, I suspect he uses a tram. Trams are underrated.
