Hi all, it's my first post. I'm travelling the beginning of July, a Saturday.  Flying into Zurich Switzerland and getting the train from the airport to Interlaken. I'll have an interrail card. My question is do I need to book the train beforehand or wait till I arrive. I do realise I can make as many bookings on that day. I'm just thinking if I'm delayed I'll have to make a second booking. Suppose I'm trying to gauge how busy trains are on Saturdays. Also I think the women's Soccer World Cup is on there too.

You shouldn't make any reservation. Reservations in Switzerland is a waste of money. You just add the train as a journey in your Trip in the Railplanner app and then just before boarding the train you activate the journey to get the QRcode, which is your ticket.
