Short Transfer Time at Luzern

sha2k

I recently bought a SuperSaver ticket from Interlaken to Zurich, but just realised that the transfer at Luzern only had 5 minutes gap between the train arriving at Luzern (Platform 13) and departing from Luzern (Platform 6). Is 5 minutes sufficient time to transfer from Platform 13 to Platform 6? I have luggages and a few family members travelling with me. Are there a lot of stairs to take from one platform to another?

Hello sha2k

If it would not be doable, the ticket would not be sold accordingly.

5 minutes is sufficient for the change of trains in Lucerne. Simply prepare yourself to get off upon arrival. The change does not include any stairs provided you change at sector A.

Kind regards,

Hello sha2k

If you don’t have reserved seats, it is better to board at the rear of the train in Interlaken.

If the train from Interlaken is delayed and you miss the connecting train to Zurich, you can take the next one without buying a new ticket.
