Greetings!
I will be heading to Paris from Basel train station and while I’m booking the tickets, I realised that there is actually Basel(SBB) and Basel(CH). Is this 2 stations the same? If it’s not is it nearby? And how will I be able to differentiate?

Hi Jerms,
The trains depart from the main station, which is called Basel SBB. Basel (CH) is the same thing; CH is the abbreviation for Switzerland.

Enjoy the trip!
Thank you, cheers!
Basel’s main station is known as Basel SBB
SBB = Schweizerische Bundesbahnen = Swiss Federal Railways
CH = Confoederatio Helvetica (which is Latin) = Swiss Confederation
If you see Basel (CH) it is probably just a geographical reference rather than the name of the railway station, so you might equally see Paris (F)
