I came back over the Bernina pass on my way home last year. It is beautiful. Going down I switched at Lugano to get a quicker connection to Milan and catch the Bari night train.Cheers
I'm coming up from the SW UK. Last year I did as you suggested, spent a night in Reading and coached into London to get the earlier Eurostar. Then Zurich and Milan for the night sleeper down to Bari for the ferry to Greece. With the St Gotthard and the French route out it takes a bit of jumping about.This year I'm spending the night in Milan as the sleeper doesn't gain much - it's an evening ferry. It's just a question of getting to Milan early enough for a decent supper and night's sleep...
Thanks Angelo - hoping for the best!
I reckon I can make the 21:50 which I have a couchette booked on. But it's only going to take a 30min delay to miss it. I imagine the swiss lines are pretty reliable!
Thanks Thibcabe, looks as if I could make it arriving 30 mins later in Milan. All a bit tight. I’m starting with the 08:00 Eurostar from London so I can’t do earlier trains. If it blows up I’ll just have to spend the night in Milan 😁
