The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.

  • Hours

    Tarifverbund Nordwestschweiz's own timetable-change page confirms IC51 as a 'new direct connection between Basel SBB and Lausanne, hourly and without changing trains', introduced with the 14 December 2025 timetable change - this line did not exist during this dataset's first research pass and previously required a change of train.

  • Easy to get wrong

    An independent snapshot puts the fastest run at 133 minutes; because IC51 is a new service, older travel guidance describing a mandatory change (typically at Bern or Biel/Bienne) for this city pair is now out of date.
