SBB Adds Christmas Carriages and Warns About the 24 December Peak

BERN - SBB added long-distance carriages toward Ticino, Valais and the Grisons for the Christmas peak and asked passengers to reserve on 23 and 24 December. The diagram looks like Easter with more trees on the platform.

German connections into Basel remain the weak node. Domestic punctuality in December has been close to target aside from fog days. Fog days will happen.

A system that still mostly works

Replacement buses in Romandie, warned about in August, will catch some travellers who did not read the app. They will tweet. The railway will suggest the app again.
