The site states this portion of the route is now closed. Does not state the reason. Maybe weather or construction? All my research cannot give me the reason. Do you know if this portion will be open by May 15, 2023?

SBB just says "Due to technical reasons..", but the line is open. I would guess that the problem lies with the new multi-gauge train sets that offer through service to Monteux. For the time being, you just have to change trains at Zweisimmen like you always did before.

Interesting. Thank you for your reply Sam. Perhaps someone else may shed additional insight.
We still have some time ahead of us to decide. Jacalyn

Sam is correct. The Golden Pass Express website states:
Due to a technical fault between Zweisimmen and Interlaken Ost, GoldenPass Express trains are no longer running on this section, but only between Montreux and Zweisimmen. BLS and MOB are working together to determine the cause of the problem. Between Zweisimmen and Interlaken Ost, the journey will be made by another BLS train, until the situation is clarified.
The catering service will only be available between Montreux - Gstaad - Montreux.
We thank you for your understanding.
