Switzerland Romantic Route Express (Andermatt->Grindelwald)
I will be visiting Switzerland Aug 2010 and will be going for the "Romantic Route Express" (yellow bus). Tried, but only gotten minimal information on it. Could anyone help advice me on :
1. There are departure from both directions everyday (Andermat <-> Grindelwald). Does the bus from Grindelwald takes exactly the same road(but opposite direction) ? My info shows from Grindelwald, it takes the Susten pass.
2. What is the frequency of this bus - so far my info shows once a day.
3. Does the advertise "3 passes Trip", "4 passes Trip" cover the same scenic points ?
4. At Andermatt, where does the bus depart ?
5. What time does the bus sets off at Andermatt ?
Due to availability in getting an accomodation at Andermatt. My itinarary brings me to Goschennen, stay there overnight. The next morning, I will wake up, take a 10-15 min train to Andermatt. Any suggestion what can I do at Goschennen and Andermatt the day before (luckily there is daylight saving) ?
I also have other queries (pls dun mind my long-windness) :
6. For Bernina Express/Glacier Express. It departs in the morning, no time to buy my own lunch ? Does the train stops along the way such that I can hop off and quickly get something to bite on the train. If so, where will the train paused ? Best is you could advice me on the best buy for lunch. hee....hee....
7. On baggages. I was in Switzerland before, I made use of the useful locker at Interlaken Ost train stations. Today, I am still curious :" what if I went to Montreux, spent too much time there and have to stay at Montreux for the night" What will happen to my luggage/locker at Interlaken Ost the next day when I return for it.
8. For my next Switzerland trip, if I make use of the "Standard Baggage" forwarding to my destination - Supposingly the luggage will be at my destionation 48 hrs later. What if I arrive late after the baggage office is closed. Will I be fined for collecting the luggage late.
9. Is it possible to arrange my luggage to arrive at a destionation station and collect the luggage 3 days later ? Is there any penalty ? (The plan when I traval from from Lucerne to St Zermatt) .... So that I need transit the luggages myself through the "William Tell Express"(1D to Lugano), Benina Express(1D to St Moritz) and finally, Glacier Express(1D to Zermatt).
10. At Lucerne, I plan to sleep on Mt Pilatus. What service can I make use of at the train station (cost too) ?
Phew... thats all I wanna ask. Thanks in advance.
