The first trains from Basel via the old Gotthard line, right through to Locarno, ran in April 2021. In Jung’s day there was the Swiss station (now known as Basel SBB), the German station and the French station. Göschenen, at the northern portal of the original Gotthard tunnel, makes a good stop for a couple of hours. At the station there is an exhibition on the Gotthard route, and it’s an easy walk into the village, which has an unkempt charm. The fully flexible one-way fare from Basel to Locarno is 84 Swiss francs (£69).
