The seating carriages are named Intercity. Reservations optional but recommended. Lights are fully on, you won't have a pleasant night.

Couchette and sleeper carriages run as Nightjet, reservations required. Definitely worth the investment (book early).

There are engineering works between Olten and Basel this summer. Timetables will be updated in the coming weeks. In any case I'd suggest leaving Bern earlier to have some margin. Trains run every 30 min on that line.

Btw it will be the Swiss National Day so enjoy! :)
