Bassersdorf railway station

Bassersdorf, Italy

Bassersdorf is a railway station in the Swiss canton of Zurich and the municipality of Bassersdorf. The station is located on the Zurich to Winterthur main line, to the east of where the Zürich Airport and Kloten lines diverge. It lies within fare zone 121 of the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV) and is

an intermediate stop on the Zurich S-Bahn services S7 and S24. The original route of the railway was through the centre of Bassersdorf. But with the construction of a new railway to serve Zurich Airport in 1980, this route was abandoned along with the original Bassersdorf railway station from 1877, built by Schweizerische Nationalbahn. A new station was constructed on the new line, some 500 m (1,600 ft) to the south of the original station.
