Iris (train)
The ''Iris'' is an express train that links Brussels Midi/Zuid in Brussels, Belgium, with Chur station in Chur, Switzerland.
Introduced in 1974,〔"Summer services, 1974" (changes due to take effect). ''Thomas Cook Continental Timetable'' (March 29–April 25, 1974 edition), p. 465. Peterborough, UK: Thomas Cook Publishing.〕 the train is operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB), the Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL), the French National Railway Corporation (SNCF) and the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB-CFF-FFS). It is named after a flower, the Yellow Iris (''Iris pseudacorus''), which was widespread in the Zenne/Senne valley, where Brussels is located.
Initially, the ''Iris'' was a first-class-only Trans Europ Express (TEE). In 1981, it became a two-class InterCity (IC), and on 31 May 1987, it was included in the then-new EuroCity (EC) network.〔''Thomas Cook Continental Timetable'' (May 31–June 30, 1987 edition), pp. 472, 475. Thomas Cook Publishing.〕 , the ''Iris'' was one of two EuroCity train-pairs running daily between Brussels and Switzerland; the other was the ''Vauban''.〔
==History==
The eastbound service was cut back to Brussels–Basel in December 2011; in December 2013 the latter was also cut back to start in Basel.
The service is slated to be cut in two in Strasbourg sometime in 2016, when a TGV service Brussels–Strasbourg will be introduced.
