When the long-distance trains were converted into shuttle trains from the year 1996 onwards, the SBB procured 60 control cab coaches of the type IC Bt. Such Intercity shuttle trains comprise, in addition to the control cab coach, adapted intermediate EW IV coaches, former French baggage coaches and locomotives of the type Re 460. The design of the coach, featuring 62 seats, is based on the familiar Eurocity coach. The equipment also includes a wheelchair, pushchair and bicycle compartment, as well as a closed toilet system with bioreactor. The front end shape and the driver’s cab look very similar to the Re 460 locomotives, thus producing a homogeneous appearance.
