Sufficient Basel station transfer times?

Hello,

First of all thanks for your quick reply to the queries which I posted earlier.

I am arriving at BASEL SBB at 13.26 by the train n° 9211 from Paris Gare Lyon. The next connection from BASEL SBB to Interlaken West is 'IC' train at 13.31. I am anxious whether in 5 mins I will be able to board the train from BASEL SBB. Is 5 minutes time enough to change the trains ? In case I miss the train starting at 13.31, will I be able to use the ticket (from BASEL SBB to Interlaken) in the next available trains ?

Thanks in advance for your help and reply.

Regards,

Shiv

Hi - I take this opportunity to answer your question based on my experience.

Normally 5 minutes is good enough to change - you miss 13:31 train if your previous train gets delayed.

You have many trains from Basel to Interlaken - if u r traveling on swiss travel pass from Basel onwards you can just board any other train for Interlaken - its pretty easy.

Hope it helps.

Thanks PKR for your reply.

Just one more question. I have already bought Supersaver Ticket for Interlaken West from BASEL SBB train starting at 13.31. I hope that TGV train generally arrives on time, but in case it arrives late on my travel date, can I use Supersaver Ticket for the next available trains to Interlaken West ?
