Hi I just bought the Montreux Noel tickets to depart from Geneve. From my understanding these point to point tickets are return (I hoped so). My question: 1. can I take any trains including those with transfer? I want to leave later in the evening and there will be no direct trains after 5:30pm. 2. Does the Montreux Noel admission ticket have a timeslot?

Hi I just bought the Montreux Noel tickets to depart from Geneve. From my understanding these point to point tickets are return (I hoped so).
My question:

can I take any trains including those with transfer? I want to leave later in the evening and there will be no direct trains after 5:30pm.
Does the Montreux Noel admission ticket have a timeslot?

Bonjour Pouchaiquou87

Merci beaucoup pour votre message.

Il est correct qu’il s’agit d’un billet de parcours, valable un jour calendaire jusqu’à 5h00 le lendemain matin. Il est important d’utiliser le même itinéraire (la même via) que celui indiqué sur votre billet.

Le billet d’entrée pour Montreux Noël est uniquement valable pour la date sélectionnée.

Je vous souhaite un merveilleux moment au marché de Noël.

Meilleures salutations

Hi @LionelR, thanks for your reply.

Sorry could you please clarify, if my ticket says via Lausanne and the outward ticket was a direct train, can I use my ticket to go back with a transfer? Something like:
Montreux, transfer at Coppet (which this line will pass Lausanne), and then take another train from Coppet to Geneve.

I am asking because there is no direct train anymore from Montreux to Geneve after 17:27 and that is too early for me to leave Montreux Xmas market.

Please help.

P2P tickets are always for a route, on whatever trains using it. So yes, along that Montreux-Geneve route, any intermediate stop and continueing with another train is absolutely fine.

If checking the online timetable, you will notice that in the overview, the indicated (single journey) ticket price is the same (from CHF 16.00) for all connections. And if drilling down to the respective suggested ticket, it would always be exactly the same. If one of the connections would take a different route (which is not the case here), that would be reflected in a different ticket price and therefore different ticket.

Usually there are many direct trains back to Geneva also later in the evening. That transfer in Coppet to a replacement bus is just related to temporary track closures (engineering work) next weekend. Existing tickets are always fine on official replacement (bus) services.
