The exact extent of the problem was unclear, SBB announced on the short message service X shortly before 11 am. Its experts are working flat out to rectify the situation. Neither the app nor the SBB website were able to search for connections in the morning. The online timetable was down.

Ticket sales were also down, as reported by the Blick and 20 Minuten online portals. The information portal with the operating situation and disruptions was not available. All displays at the stations in Bern and Olten were down. SBB promised further information.
