    We are taking the train from Lausanne to Genève with tickets on SBB

    Then from Geneve cff to Paris with a 45 minute layover. It says Geneva on my ticket?

    Are these the same two train stations? I am confused because one says CFF, the other just Genève on the paper confirmation, and Geneva on mobile.

    Hi LeahNShane,

    Geneve, Geneva and Genf are basically the name of the same train station, just in different languages.

    CFF is the acronym for SBB in French but you don’t have to worry about that.

    Your ticket is correct and you are ready to go!

    Safe journey.

    Regards,

    Anna
