    Hi Johnelsy,

    Are you sure you are checking the Rhb timetable? That is for the Bernina Express timetable and that area in general – not for the Golden Pass.

    The Golden Pass timetable here: http://www.mob.ch/en/r eservation-procedure

    and the SBB timetable here: https://www.myswissalp s.com/timetable Both agree on the 09:08 departure on June 12, 2018 arriving in Montreux at 12:13.

    The last section (Zweisimmen to Montreux has the 1st class carriages only. This train departs Zweisimmen at 10:25.

    The times you mention above (departing Luzern at 9:06, transferring at Interlaken Ost, Spiez and Zweisimmen, and arriving at Montreux at 14:13) are correct. These connections also appear in the SBB timetable (screenshot attached).

    Your connection at Zweisimmen, departing at 12:25, is the train with VIP seats in first class.

    That’s a departure from Interlaken Ost 🙂 I understand that John will be starting from Luzern.

    Ah I read departing Interlaken 09:06 and it is departing to Interlaken at 09:06. Good catch!

    John, always refer to the the SBB timetable (in my first) link for departure times.
    If leaving from Lucerne you need to enter VIA Interlaken & VIA Zweisimmen and it gives you the correct departures for the Golden Pass route. It is 09:06 from LUCERNE.
