Hi sg9peter,

On the timetable, the Golden Pass panoramic trains are noted as MOB Panoramic (modern) or MOB Belle Epoque (classic/heritage). The Glacier Express is noted as GEX.
No need for train numbers.

You can reserve seats on the Golden Pass train here (link under “more information”).
And you can reserve seats on the Glacier Express here.

I wouldn’t worry too much about visiting Interlaken; so if you are visiting Bern or Lucerne I’d stay in either town (both are quite nice).

RE= Regional (more frequent stops at smaller towns)
IR = Inter Regional (don’t tend to stop at smaller towns)
IC= Inter City (just stops at larger main towns/cities)
The fewer stops the faster you arrive at your destination.

Hope that helps!
