Since April 2020, the 27-year-old has been employed as a traffic planner and since April 2023 as Deputy Head of Traffic and Planning at TR Trans Rail in Frauenfeld.

"I am looking forward to my future role and am convinced that I will be able to draw on my previous experience and master the upcoming challenges together with my team," says a delighted Simon Stäbler.
