AI-generated summary-
Booked a morning train from brig to Domodossola thinking would get some travelling way to Milan. But to my surprise I didn’t get any and I’m spending three hours at Domodossola doing nothing with the family, so how can I either spend the time or find a travel way using public transport without much of changeover, I’m reaching Domodossola at 10:15am, n hav next direct bus at 1:30pm, this is costing me 90 chf for brig to milan for 4.

Hi Mahavir,
I’m sorry to hear of your inconvenience. The rail line between Domodossola and Milan is currently undergoing upgrading works so trains are not running and replacement buses are operating instead. The updated schedules and disruption are updated on the Swiss timetable (https://www.myswissalps.com/travel/public-transport/timetable/) . Please always check the timetable before travelling for current updates or changes.
If you are looking for an alternative route to Milan, a possible option would be to take the Centovalli Railway (https://www.myswissalps.com/activity/centovalli-railway/) from Domodossola to Locarno. From Locarno you can then take a train to Milan via Lugano.You can find useful information on ticket and travel options between Switzerland and Italy here: https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-guide/italy-switzerland/
