I have looked at www.sbb.ch/en to try and figure this out on my own. But, this is my question on www.sbb.ch/en it shows: I will depart Montreux at 6:38 (I want to go early) arrive 8:03. Duration 1.25 and 2 changes, does R mean railroad? It shows Montreux-Gruyeres via Montbovon-Bulle.... .
Why does it not show arrival and departure time for Montbovon and Bulle?. Do I get off the train in Monthovon and Bulle or does the train just stop and continue on? I would appreciate information if you have done this route. Thank you

Nancy, what date are you looking at? The route I see for a random date in May has one change, at Montbovon. To see the change station, and the arrival/departure time at each, click on the little "+" sign to the left of the train you want. You will get off one train and on another at the change station. You can also hit the " show intermediate stops" link below the details to see all the stations where the train stops ( but you stay on the train). The R just stands for Regio, the type of train.

Here is a snapshot of the site that I get when I go to the Swiss Rail site and enter your trip: http://tinyurl.com/7xlp692 R means that your are taking regional (local) trains. The journey time is only 1 hour 7 minutes and there is just one change in Montbovon; you have get off the train and change to a different one.
