Station to Station Luggage Service and Ticket

CharlieT

Hello SBB Community,

I am planning to arrive at Basel SBB station very late on Jan 7th. The next day Jan 8th, walk around Basel then take the train to Arth-Goldau and then up to Rigi for a night. On Jan 9th, I will be taking a train from Arth-Goldau to Zurich. With this three separate train tickets, can I use station to station luggage service from Basel to Zurich?

thank you

Edited response:
A Basel SBB- Arth-Goldau point-to-point ticket for your Jan 8th journey would already meet the prerequisites according to the T&Cs for the luggage service.
Because that ticket is the same for both possible routes via Olten - Lucerne or via Zurich. So it doesn’t matter if you actually take a connection via Olten, the ticket does cover the necessary Basel-Zurich leg.

Thank you so much. Good point, I can take the route via Zurich instead.

You must take the route via Zurich only if getting a Supersaver Ticket, which is bound to the specific selected train(s), such as IC3 or IR37 from Basel.

The regular point-to-point ticket however covers both routes, you can see that only in the SBB Mobile app before buying, not on the sbb.ch webshop (tricked me first too).
The p2p ticket in question (valid the entire day on any connection) for 48.- full fare says:
“Basel SBB - Arth-Goldau via Zurich o Lucerne”
So that one meets the requirement “The shipping of luggage is only possible with a valid ticket for the entire transport route […]”, even if you actually travel via Lucerne.

RedBaron Thank you for the additional clarification. Happy Holidays!
