For commuters, this means shorter journeys and the main stations will be relieved, SBB/CFF announced on Wednesday.
As part of a pilot project, night services will now run on eight weekends on the Bern-Olten-Zurich-Zurich Airport route and on several weekends and public holidays between Biel/Bienne and Geneva Airport and between Fribourg and Sion and Geneva Airport, respectively.
There will also be improvements to the regional night-time networks at weekends. Various additional trains will run in eastern Switzerland. Between St Gallen and Sargans, for example, there is a half-hourly service on the long-distance network.
There is now a direct Saturday connection from Geneva Airport via Bern to Locarno. There is an additional train in each direction between Zurich and Munich.
