I booked a reservation for my friend that I’m traveling with and got her birth date wrong. I have emailed MOB and asked them to update the info. This is the response:
“Unfortunately, reservations are neither refundable nor exchangeable. However, you can place a new order for the same products and then provide us with the order number so that we can, exceptionally, cancel and refund the previous one. This time, please enter your friend’s correct information.”

Do I really have to buy a new $76 ticket?
Is there a chance we can update her info at the train station prior to boarding?

We plan to take the train from Montreux to Interlaken on 9 Sept.

Many thanks for any help.

Kim

Hi Kim,

I would take them up on their offer: buy a new reservation and get the refund for the wrong one. You’ll at most lose a small amount on exchange rates and banking fees.

I can’t guarantee that this can be fixed at a station. I don’t think it can. Reservations are often fixed, unfortunately. They can’t be changed or refunded normally.

Tickets/passes and reservations are separate, so if the wrong birthday is only on the reservation, that’s the only thing you need to fix.

Enjoy the ride, it’s a wonderful route!
