Worth knowing
The IR36 leaves at :56 every hour from 05:56 to 20:56 (05:54/20:54 on a few days), 16 departures a day, reaching Basel SBB at :23 — 87 minutes on nine trips in ten, 89 or 94 on the rest.

One an hour, at :56, from 05:56 to 20:56. After that take any train to Zürich HB and change; the ticket is valid all day on any train along the route.
The full fare is fixed; the "Supersaver" for one named train is not. It is cheaper, sold only in advance, priced by demand and refused on any other train — so it is not priced here.
The same train calls at Baden after 32 minutes: 45 tariff kilometres, CHF 18.40 on the same tariff.
No direct train on 21 and 22 November 2026 in SBB's published timetable; earlier closures this year ran 7 to 22 February and 7 to 15 March.
