Tirano to Varenna

Hello All,
I'm getting ready for my trip on the Bernina express on June 18th. We will be riding from Chur to Tirano arriving in Tirano at 12:49pm. I was planning on taking the train on to Varenna but I understand the train will be down for maintenance. I'm trying to find information on the bus that will take us instead. I will be travelling with my husband and my parents and we will all have a suitcase with us. Is traveling on the bus going to be problem for us ? Do I need to book tickets in advance ? Is the travel time the same or should I expect to be on the bus longer.
Thanks in advance for your help.

No need to book the replacement bus in advance. The bus should have a luggage bay underneath. Travel time is likely a bit longer as the bus has traffic to contend with as well as detours off the highway to pick up and drop passengers near the train stations at intermediate towns.
