SWITZERLAND Readers's Tips - From SBB (the Swiss railway system 82806: andgt; In allen grösseren Bahnhöfen der Schweiz finden Sie sichere Schliessfächer, sowie auch eine Gepäckaufbewahrung.ie Preise der Schliessfächer richten sich nach Grösse des Gepäckes und belaufen sich zwischen CHF 5. und 8..

I had no problem using lockers in Koln, Koblonz, and Heidleberg as recently as Nov 2006.argest size and most I saw was 5E for 24h
