What this is based on
Arrive inKöln →- From the operator's published timetable, valid to 3 Jan 2027. The departure count is for one week of that timetable (the week it was read, early October 2026) and counts every direct departure from Zürich to Köln; it is not a daily figure.
- The stations shown are the pair used by the most departures; other stations in either place may also be served.
