While the Swiss audiovisual world is going through a major crisis, Rail One is positioning itself against the tide. We make television for those who watch us, around a fascinating and more relevant than ever topic. Our ambition is to share unique moments together, to discover and learn more about trains, to capture History through our images, while preparing the future of audiovisual media with proximity and authenticity today. All interested companies can join this dynamic and benefit from this unique reach. Rail One warmly thanks all the partners who have contributed to its success since its creation.

Lipsync technology to reach all regions and the international audience – a first in Switzerland.

In a multilingual country, the question of content accessibility in all regions is a real challenge and probably constitutes one of the pillars of Switzerland's audiovisual future. In collaboration with the company Lipsie, Rail One will use Lipsync technology for most future broadcasts. This innovation makes it possible to offer shows originally in French in three other languages (German, Italian and English for international audiences) with AI lip synchronization giving the impression that each sequence was filmed in each of these languages. This is a real upheaval in the writing and production of shows: each version requires careful reworking. A unique process has been created as part of a pioneering collaboration between Lipsie and Rail One.

This approach is unprecedented for a regular Swiss television show, even in Europe. All episodes meet the technical standards and current legislation allowing their broadcast on all channels that wish to do so. A first test of a translated episode has already been carried out with an incredible result. All versions will be available on YouTube.

New formats, new shows, new collaborations: the objectives for 2026.

For this new season, Rail One will re-broadcast its best episodes including:

➢ The Exploration format, guided by a presenter who breaks down each destination according to our three pillars: History, Technology and Tourism.

➢ The Immersion format, which plunges the viewer into the heart of our destinations and allows them to identify with the camera.

These broadcasts will allow the new audience to discover existing shows before the new productions published for 2026, with an even more dynamic and interactive format, combining television and web content. This is still very rare in the audiovisual world. It allows the public to get to know the team, discover the complexities of filming, our feelings, and always learn more about our destinations: the Adventure format.

Rail One also aims to support associations and foundations to produce shows highlighting the historical railway heritage. Any company that wishes can become a major partner with visibility on all our channels. This will finance the production of shows honouring those who maintain and preserve this heritage, offering the public the opportunity to discover our magnificent historical trains.
