I travelled on the Lucerne-Interlaken Express 2932 from Lucerne to Interlaken Ost on time in less than two hours. The route offers a fantastic view, which I was able to admire through the large panoramic windows: Lake Sarnen, Lake Lungern and Lake Brienz look gorgeous, especially with the mountains of the Alps together. The 1st class cabin was very spacious and comfortable, but unfortunately there was no wifi. The cleanliness was top notch and the control staff were very friendly. Information about the route was available as a map on the tables and with the times on the screens. It would have been possible to reserve a seat, but I didn't need one (I had an Interrail ticket and was travelling spontaneously).

We travelled from Lucerne to Interlaken on the Lucerne-Interlaken Express 2932. We used our 1st class Interrail ticket and didn't need a seat reservation for the journey. The leather seats are very comfortable and there is plenty of room. There are also luggage compartments. The panoramic windows from which you can admire the Swiss lakes and mountains are a highlight. The view is particularly spectacular after the stop in Lungern! The train travels this route directly in just under two hours and, as is typical in Switzerland, it was on time. It also travelled at a fairly leisurely pace due to the gradients. The toilets were clean and adequately sized. There was no wifi, but there were information screens with news and adverts.
