Zurich HB To Stuttgart question using HBB

chitgoks

My question is
1) i thought this is a straight trip since it is Zurich HB to Stuttgart and does not provide info of any other stops. but when i click “show details”, it has stops on Schaffhausen, Singen, Tuttlingen, Rottweil , Horb, Böblingen and then Stuttgart. Are these all in 1 train? It makes stops but we do not need to get out until we reach Stuttgart?
2) I am getting an STP. Is this route covered? Or do i have to buy a separate ticket for this?

Please advise.

chitgoks It is usual that direct trains between two cities make intermediate stops, but you can stay in the train. If a change were necessary due to unpredictable problems (delays, cancellations), you will be informed by the train staff.

Stuttgart is in Germany, the STP is valid only in Switzerland. You must buy a ticket from Schaffhausen (the border station) to Stuttgart.

1) so what ill do is buy a ticket from schaffhausan to stuttgart?

2) i will board the zurich hb train and show them the stp, then also show the schaffhausan-stuttgart ticket once it stops at schaffhausen station and departs for singen?

3) also, in that example, it stops at schaffhausen at platform 4, 07:13 and 07:16 (why do they have 2 times?).

1) Yes, you have to buy a ticket from Schaffhausen to Stuttgart if I understand correctly your question.

2) You can show the STP and the ticket for Germany after the departure from Zurich HB. If the staff change later after the border, you will be asked to show the ticket for Germany again.

3) 07:13 is the arrival time in Schaffhausen and 07:16 the departure time. You can stay in the train, but other people have 3 minutes to get off or get on. This train is also available for local trips and not only from Zurich to Stuttgart.

I understsand. Thank you for clarifying. Last question. How about if it is Stuttgart to Zurich HB?

Will buy the ticket from Stuttgart to Schaffhausen? And then Schaffhausen to Zurich HB will show the STP, correct?

Please advise.

chitgoks Yes, it is correct, you must buy a ticket from Stuttgart to Schaffhausen and show the STP from Schaffhausen to Zurich. If you make the return trip on another day, your STP must also be valid for this day.
