I have many mind-associations with autumn weather: going back to school, taking winter coats out of the closet, eating caramel apples. Now I have a new one: the emptying of trains.
Backpackers have faded with the summer sun. This is a great reason to travel off-season, when trains are less-crowded. It’s especially a boon on night trains, when it wouldn’t be uncommon to get your own sleeping cabin because of the sparsity of long-distance travelers. I had my own sleeping cabin on the night train from Zurich to Budapest.
Train Tip:
Make note that Interlaken has 2 main train stations: West and Ost. I at first thought “West” was the translation of “Ost,” but “Ost” actually translates as “East.” But just like the Witches in Oz, they are very different.
