| I've been on the SBB website, and the only thing I can find is about something called 'Reka Rail', which seems to be some system of gift vouchers for travel. Is that the thing I'm looking for? | |

No. I only found out about SBB vouchers because I was trying to buy a half-price train ticket with an open travel date as part of a present for a colleague. The guy behind the counter told me this wasn't possible, but suggested that I instead buy 'un bon' (i.e.=voucher). This information probably isn't on the website, but I can guarantee you can get them at the station.

| And (and this will sound really silly) are SBB and all the Goldenpass stuff part of the same group? Again, I can't find links from SBB cross-referencing to the Goldenpass touristy bits, and my French just isn't good enough if it's going to be a complicated conversation at the station! Will they know what I'm talking about..? | |

They will definitely know what you're talking about! These regional passes are very popular and are available all over the place: train stations, tourist offices and CGN (=boat) ticket counters, even though the managing company is based in Montreux. What you want to ask about is the 'Pass Regional a cinq jours ou sept jours'. Brochure is 'une brochure', and gift voucher is 'bon cadeau'. This should be enough information to get you on your way! (Also, in Morges the tickets agents will probably speak some English anyway if you really get stuck.)
Let me know if you have success with this,
