NEW Gotthard Tunnel set to open June 1, 2016

On June 1, the NEW Gotthard Tunnel (about 35 miles long) is set to open.
For rail "buffs" this is an historic occasion. [Longest rail tunnel in the World]
Per the new Swiss Timetable, starting in Zurich (say) going to Goeshenen, some trips will require several train/bus changes, possibly affecting viewing (famous) Wassen Church seen from 3 different views as the train spiraled around the church.
