SBB timetable changes

In order to ensure that more travellers benefit from faster connections to the south and from better regional transport services, we are expanding the access to the Gotthard Base Tunnel. Due to the expansion and renewal work, the line between Zug Oberwil and Arth-Goldau will have to be closed from Sunday, 9 June 2019 until Saturday 12 December 2020. Please note the changes in the timetable.

The main changes in long-distance transport:

• During the construction work, all long-distance traffic from Zurich HB – Zug – Arth-Goldau to the Gotthard will be diverted via Rotkreuz (EC, IC 2 and IR 46).

• The journey times of the long-distance trains Basel SBB – Lucerne – Arth-Goldau – Erstfeld (– Lugano/Milano) will be adjusted to ensure connections (EC, IC 21 and IR 26).

• Long-distance trains between German-speaking Switzerland and Ticino will take 8 to 15 minutes longer.

The main changes in regional transport:

• Between Baar Lindenpark and Zug Oberwil, the S2 trains will run every half hour from Monday to Friday.

• The S2 trains of the from (Flüelen –) Brunnen – Arth-Goldau to Rotkreuz will run every hour, and there will be a connection in Rotkreuz to the IR 75 trains to/from Zurich.

• The S32 trains between Arth-Goldau – Immensee – Rotkreuz will not operate during the construction work. The S2 trains will act as a partial replacement for the S32 trains in Immensee.

• The 5 and 21 bus lines of the Zugerland Transport (ZVB) between Zug and Arth-Goldau will be extended. The new 71 bus line will directly connect Schwyz (Post) to Zug (Bahnhofplatz), with connections to/from Zurich.

A bus will replace the train between Brunnen and Erstfeld. During off-peak hours, there will be connecxtion to the S2 trains in Brunnen, and in Flüelen during the main traffic period.

Please check your connections in the SBB Mobile app or in the online timetable at sbb.ch.
