BERN - SBB said it would add a handful of peak carriages on selected Ticino and Valais long-distance diagrams after overcrowding complaints on the Easter return. The changes are small. They are also the kind passengers notice.
Domestic punctuality in April held near target. Basel's German arrivals did not. The railway can lengthen a Swiss train. It cannot shorten a Deutsche Bahn delay.
Summer will ask again
Tourist peaks in July and August will test the same rolling stock. Extra carriages are not extra tracks. That limit appears every hot Sunday.
