Is 16 minutes enough transfer time to change trains?

June 29, 2016|

AnswerShow all 3 answers

The train station is not so big so 16 minutes would provide you more than enough time to change trains.

Great Experience with SBB Luggage Service (2 Replies)

We recently returned from Switzerland and used the SBB Luggage Service to send our large bags to destinations rather than carrying them on the trains. We first learned about the service here on this forum and it worked perfectly, saving us a lot of hassle. On some of the trains we took (2nd class), there were many others who had their large bags with them and had to manage and find a place to put them on crowded trains -- while doable, it was a lot easier to move around with just backpacks....More

Glad you liked the service - it is really excellent. There is another one too - Flight Luggage. You can ship bags door to door with this too. Pick up at a hotel for example (not in the car free villages though) and if you are flying Swiss it is taken right to Swiss. You get your receipts and boarding passes from the driver when he collects the bags. Other airlines - you collect it at the airport station and check it in. Coming into Switzerland this service is even better - bags will be...More

train from Lucerne to Montreux (1 Replies)

Hi, We (couple) would be visiting switzerland in May. Our landing will be in Zurich from where we will move to Lucerne. Will stay in Lucerne for 3 nights and will move to Montreux on 4th day and will stay 3 nights there. My question is while travelling from Lucerne to Montreux what all can we visit? Is golden pass line available for this route? can be get our luggage booked at Lucerne station and get it at montreux station? thanks

Response fromErikandSandya|

Hi there, Yes if you travel VIA Bruenig you'll follow exactly the Golden Pass route. 2 transfers, in Interlaken and in Zweisimmen. And indeed if you deliver luggage early enough in Lucerne station it should be delivered in Montreux at proper time. All the best, <Erik> & [Sandya]

Luggage storage at Lucerne station (2 Replies)

Hello again, Please help me with information regarding luggage storage at Lucerne. We are arriving Lucerne on 20th June by noon, and our apartment is at Wirzweli. So, we want to keep our luggages at Lucerne, train station, explore the city and in the evening go to our apartment. So, what are the charges and the what size they allow for the luggage, and till what time? I am not able to find the charge in Internet.

Response fromMarmot12|

There are luggage lockers at Luzern station. As far as I remember they come in 3 sizes small, medium and large. You need coins yo use them but I'm not sure if the cost. There are some by platform 3 and more by platform 14? Not sure that's the right number.

Very open and easy to navigate, we rode in and out of this station and found it very easy to navigate. Don't forget to buy your rail pass or half pass before you arrive!
