Hi! I am travelling from Switzerland to Italy at the end of June and am struggling to book the seat reservation for the journey from Domodossola to Milano Centrale because the journey is on rail replacement bus and not an actual train. I cannot book the seat reservation through the Eurail website, and have not been able to find other ways to book it either. I’m assuming I am qualified to take this journey as a pass holder, but I worry that without seat reservation, I won't be able to in the case that the bus is full. Does anyone know how or where I can reserve seats? Preferably online as well, but if not, in person will do as I will be in Switzerland for a few days before going to Italy. Thank you!!

Only option I'm aware of is Swiss ticket counters sadly. Italy should work too but I haven't tried. Last year cost was 3€.
I'll ask again when I'm back in Switzerland.
If you're travelling on a busy day i.e. Friday-Sunday I'd buy a regular ticket for peace of mind. The buses (2 at each departure) do sell out.

I see. Thank you!! I’m reassured to know that there is at least some way of seat reservation. I’m travelling on a weekday so hopefully everything should be fine. My best bet now then is just to make the seat reservation when I arrive at Switzerland. I wonder why they make it that way though.
