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

  • Hours

    Wikipedia's InterCity (Switzerland) list confirms IC3 runs Basel SBB-Zürich HB-Chur hourly with no change of train; independent timetable snapshots put the fastest run at 53 minutes, with the typical journey closer to 69 minutes on slower workings.

  • Easy to get wrong

    Because IC3 continues on to Chur, a Basel-bound traveller should check the final destination shown on the departure board rather than assuming only Basel-labelled trains stop there - the same IC3 working serves both.
