I'll be taking the early morning train from Wengen to Stresa and need to know how much time I'll have for the train transfers en route. (I'm vision-impaired and can't read the timetables.) Can someone please provide the train schedules for June 28-30?

You can make the trip with three changes of train, at Lauterbrunnen, Interlaken Ost, and Spiez train stations. The fastest connections depart at 6:00 a.m. or at noon. Departing in between those times may result in a longer layover at one station, but you could still get there along a similar plan.
When searching for train schedules at www.bahn.com or www.sbb.ch, you can specify longer transfer times, if you wish. Staff at Swiss train stations can also assist you. This version allows at least 10 minutes for each transfer:
Wengen(CH), 28.06.17, depart 06:05, Direction: Lauterbrunnen
Lauterbrunnen, arrive 06:22
Transfer time 11 min.
Lauterbrunnen, depart 06:33, track 2, Direction: Interlaken Ost
Interlaken Ost, arrive 06:54, track 2A
Transfer time 35 min.
Interlaken Ost, depart 07:29, track 8, Direction: Spiez
Spiez, arrive 07:50, track 2
Transfer time 15 min.
Spiez, depart 08:05, track 3, Direction: Milano Centrale
Stresa, arrive 09:38
Duration: 3:33, runs daily
