Queuing and boarding cards needed for Rhatische Bahn

Question

Some info for people traveling on Rhatische Bahn between Chur - St Moritz - Tirano.

Hi, this is just to let you know that I observed new? restrictions on the rhatische bahn, which i haven’t experienced earlier.

This morning I was planning to take the RE train from Tirano to Chur, which i’ve done many time. And i didn’t have a reservations, because it’s not compulsory and I relied on the 1st Class Pass.

But this time, a queueing system was in operation where you first have to get boarding cards for the train. Waiting time: about 2 trains, (2 hours). (Actually I think the EU passenger rights would apply here)

So, please note that you can’t rely on actually taking the train you had in mind, and making your connections, when traveling on RE 9 or R9 of ratische bahn from one of the terminus stations. The new queuing system could be in operation….

In the end I walked to the next station, and took the next train from there…

(Here I am talking about the regular trains, not the Bernina Express)

In this article it states, that the access restrictions in S.Moritz and Tirano are active until tomorrow, but probably this could be repeated.

Thanks, yeah I’m afraid it will repeated until capacity increases. But Rhb should improve the information about it, at least by adding a remark in the international time-table data, so that apps like DB and SBB show info about this. I will be sending them a request about that for next time.

Extra info: that didn’t fill up the entire train, but only allow as much passengers as there are seats.
