Bernina Express line, BEX vs regional trains
-
Hello!
We have booked rail tickets (no seat reservations yet) from St. Moritz to Tirano for our trip on July 20. The tickets we booked were for the 9:39 to 12:00 BEX labeled train through SBB site. I have a few questions about this route and I want to make this a pleasurable experience for our honeymoon.
Knowing we have booked this leg specifically, do we have the option of hopping on an earlier regional train instead with those same tickets? I have heard that a ticket purchased is good for the whole day on either regional or BEX, I just wanted to make absolutely sure.
I am hesitant to book second class seat reservations for BEX (cannot roll windows down, direction of train not guaranteed, may have less travelers on regional train that would allow us to go back and forth to both sides). Just in case, does the train from St. Moritz to Tirano start with the second class cars?
In general, will the 8:48-11 regional train be rather empty? I have taken an empty train car before on glacier express line and found this to be really fun as we could go to either sides of the train freely depending on the view.
Finally, if booking a “super-saver” ticket, does that mean you have to take that specific train?
Thank you! Sorry for the multiple questions.
