Departure

Basel Sbb

Although it is a lot of space, it is relatively easy to use. It is very convenient to get to the train station from the station exit. This is a two-part train station: 1. Main SBB (Switzerland) station 2. SNCF station - now mainly transported by TER train to France, including trains to Strasbourg.

The main Station

Trains departure from the station SBB (Switzerland) include: 1. All trains to other cities in Switzerland 2. ICE and EC trains to Germany 3. EC trains to Italy 4. Night trains 5. Go to Paris The Lyria train at this SBB station,

Platform/track/gleis 1-4 is the street hall. The platform/track/ gleis 5-17 can be accessed via a large flyover with shops and cafes. Although the SBB station is not a terminal, there is no pressure on the transfer. It's not good. SBB also has an information desk on the flyover - so if you use this bridge to change trains and want to double check the details of your round trip, you don't have to go to the main lobby.

SNCF Station: G1:30-35:

On the right side of the main hall, when you enter the station from the city side (the location of the tram stop) - is a passage that can accommodate quality food stores and special take-out counters. (If you want to travel long distances, buy some food from here, it will be better than any food you find on the train). This passage is also the connection to the SNCF part of the station - from where the TER and the local trains on the route to Mulhouse and Strasbourg leave. Please note that the Lyria trains to Dijon and Paris do not leave here, they depart from the main SBB station.

The SNCF platform / gleis / track 30-35 are at the street level - and this part of the station has a separate role. You have to go through a sliding door and enter the train under the sign "France" - then you will pass through the pretty SNCF departure hall.

When taking the train from this SNCF part of the train station, you must remember to print your ticket on the machine at the platform/fire entrance. The current plan for construction work at the SBB station is about to be extended to the SNCF station - so it is hoped that its special features will be preserved.

Basel Bad bf Station

Basel is a city with two main stations, so it is very easy to take the train to the city. In addition to Basel SBB, the Basel Bad Bf station also provides services. If you take the train between Basel city centre and the German destination, it is more convenient to use the Basel Bad Bf station than to take the train to Basel SBB.

Lausanne

Introduction

The Lausanne train station can be regarded as the most beautiful large station in Switzerland. Basically, most Swiss people agree with this statement, the most important reason is based on its artistic style.

It is located in Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland, and is an important regional station. The Lausanne train station is a transit train station located at the junction of the Lausanne-Geneva railway, the Lausanne-Olten railway and the Simplon railway. The trains at the Lausanne train station are mostly operated by the Swiss Federal Railways, as well as international trains in France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

Although the Lausanne station is about to enter the main phase of the new building, it will not be completed until at least 2020. It will allow more local trains to get in and out of the station and strengthen the subway.

There are currently two passenger passages below the railway line, located on either side of the main station lobby. The passenger passage from the East Wing Hall can lead to stations 3 to 8. The difference from other passages is that the elevator can be used to go straight to the platform; the passage on the right side of the hall has stairs to enter the platform 9.

If you arrive by train from the South (on a train passing through Bern or Montreux), the lift is behind the train; if you arrive from Geneva or Paris, the lift will be in front of the train.

The entrance to the subway is located opposite the departure hall, but it can also be accessed directly through the passageway in the East Wing lobby. With this route, you don't have to board the main building to enter the subway station.
