Hello! I just returned from a delightful trip to Wengen with my son and his fiancé, and I will make a post about it soon, including weighing in on the Wengen vs Mürren debate since I have now stayed in both locations!
My reason for writing is that I am actually returning to Wengen in early October with a friend (yes, I know I am very lucky and must admit that it made my departure less sad this time because I knew I would be back in less than 2 months!). I am buying all my train tickets and feel set for the first 4 days, but on day 5 (October 7), we are traveling from Wengen to Milan. I went on their website to purchase the tickets (since the app doesn't work if you're crossing countries), and I found a couple of options, but when I try to purchase the best route, I get a message the says:
"Your journey could not be booked. The train is already fully booked or has been cancelled due to engineering work.
You have the following options:
We recommend selecting another connection.
For connections with changes: It may be possible to complete the purchase if you split the booking into the individual legs."
Any idea why this might be happening? I feel quite certain that the train isn't sold out. We had issues on this past trip with the train to Spiez being cancelled at the last minute when we were heading to the airport, so I am wondering is something is going on with that station? Any other suggestions about how to proceed? Thanks in advance!!!
