Cisalpino will cease operating on December 13, when SBB and Trenitalia will begin operating independently with each company taking over responsibility for trains at the border. Half of Cisalpino's 40 staff will transfer to SBB with the remainder going to Trenitialia. Cisalpino's original fleet of nine nine-car ETR 470 Pendolino tilting trains will be split between the two railways, with five going to Trenitalia and four to SBB. The new fleet of 14 ETR 610 trains will also be divided equally. Photo: Cisalpino's fleet of 14 Alstom ETR 610 tilting emus will be split equally between SBB and Trenitalia
