Following a feasibility study the Jungfrau Bahn has decided to upgrade the existing railway infrastructure rather than spend upwards of CHF 1000m on a proposal to build an express lift system that would have taken tourists direct from a location near Lauterbrunnen to the top of the mountain. The current plan is to spend some CHF 100m over six years on new high-speed shuttle trains plus improvements to the track in order to increase service frequency. The object is to allow visitor numbers to the Jungfraujoch to increase from around 4,400 to 6,000 per day.
