The Gotthard Base Tunnel has been closed for passenger traffic due to safety concerns after the facilities at the Multifunctional Station Faido were severely damaged on Thursday. The facilities at the station are used to switch trains from one tunnel to the other. The closure of the tunnel will have a significant impact on the transportation of goods and people in the region. The cause of the damage is still unknown and an investigation is underway. The Swiss Federal Railways have stated that the tunnel will remain closed until the damage is repaired and the safety of passengers is ensured.
