Check the website and apps regularly

The websites and apps of the railway operators are the first port of call for delays, traffic reports and cancellations. Below, you will find a list of links. Check the website and app regularly for at least 24 hours before departure.

Tip: If you start your journey in a different country than you arrive in, install the apps of both railway operators and check both websites. For example, the ÖBB/Nightjet app sometimes displays information that the SBB app does not and vice versa.

In theory, many ticket vendors automatically inform you of delays and changes via email or text. However, in practice, this does not work very well.

At the station and on the train

If you are already at the station, the electronic information boards are a reliable source of information. You should also listen to announcements via loudspeaker.

On the platform or the train, the train crew will keep you updated. Remain friendly, even if delays are annoying: the train crew often don't know much more than you do and can't do anything about delays. It's even more stressful for them than for you!
