Can I stay on the same train for the entire journey?

Fatuttue65

I plan to travel on the ECE (EuroCity Express) 198 train from Munich to Zurich.
If I buy a Deutsche Bahn ticket for the German section & a SBB ticket for the Swiss section, can I stay on the same train for the entire journey?
I would be grateful for some advice. Thank you!

Hello Fatuttue65

You can also purchase a Deutsche Bahn through-ticket from Munich to Zurich. Or an SBB through-ticket Munich to Zurich.

Kind regards,

Hello Fatuttue65

Please note that you will also need a ticket for the Austrian section between Lindau-Reutin and St. Margrethen. If you don’t want to buy a through-ticket for whatever reason, don’t forget this section. You can make a seat reservation separately for the whole trip from Munich to Zurich, it is cheaper on oebb.at.

Thank you very much, Roland & Danhiel, for your kind replies. I should have worded my question more carefully.
I will probably join the ECE 198 Munich-Zurich train (operated by DB) partway at Buchloe (Germany), & can see a reasonably priced DB ticket that I can buy for the German + Austrian sections up to St Margrethen SG (Switzerland).
I will probably buy the SBB Saver Day Pass (which looks like the most economical option) for travels from St Margrethen SG onwards – to Zurich & then southern Switzerland later that day.
I was just unsure if I could stay on the same ECE 198 train with a DB ticket up to St Margrethen SG, & a SBB ticket from St Margrethen onwards; I think I can probably stay on the same ECE 198 train if I have a valid ticket for each section of the journey, & just hope I am right in thinking so!

Yes, you can stay on the train. In these countries, no checks are made at the entrances/exits of the stations. It is usually the same train staff from Munich to Zurich, you can show both tickets during the first check.
