The thing is, on the way to Switzerland on my outbound journey I got a fine because the inspector said I was not allowed to board a national train. I had entered Torino-Milano and Milano-Basel as two separate journeys so I do hope that in this case it would be okay but yeah I have no desire to get two fines this time.
You were unlikely to have been fined! You probably used a Eurocity train between Milan and the Swiss border. These trains have a supplement and you should have reserved in advance. Most likely the inspector charged you the supplement and gave you a telling off! No, it was a regional train, without reservation. He said his interpretation of the terms and condition was I could take any train once I had crossed the border.

In case it was a Frecce: did you have a reservation? If it was really fine (do you still have the paper you received?), you can claim it back from customer service. Include all details: date, route, train number, departure time etc. No, regional train. I will when I go home because I did try and explain to the inspector, he agreed that what I was saying made sense (thank you!) but still gave me a fine hahahah.
SO; if you again take this route via the Swiss (as such not needed, can also try if spare seats on the overnite Wien->MIlano) you again have to cough up for the extra supplmt+RES if you do not want to change in Lugano or Chiasso at the last to a TreNord regionale. But this NiteJet also needs to RES. Was in B-lava on 1/11-a holiday and it was dreary and nearly all closed. No, it would be with no reservations needed Bratislava-Vienna Vienna-Innsbruck Innsbruck-Verona Verona-Milano Milano-Torino all by day.
