Use sbb.ch and put in your destinations. You'll get all the info you need.

Here's an example:

Zürich HB (Hauptbahnhof) Depart 8.00
Wengen Arrive: 10.44 (2.44 min.)
Change trains in Bern, Interlaken Ost and Lauterbrunnen.

Make sure you hit the "en" button on top for English.

Hi johnb,

Yes, the train takes credit cards. Yes, there are both live attendants and ticket machines.

Note that there is a train station in the basement of the Zuerich airport, so use "Zurich airport" as your departure station.

No the HB is the main station in Zurich. Online for English enter Zurich airport-German would be flughafen. Use that for your departure.

Hi again,

The English pages of the SBB accept English spelling. Just use "Zurich airport" as your departure, as I noted above. As scatcat says, "HB" is the main station, the Haubtbahnhof that is downtown.

Have fun!
