Location
Bassersdorf Location within Switzerland

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 is an intermediate stop on the Zurich S-Bahn services S7 and S24.^[1][2][3]

The original route of the railway was through the centre of Bassersdorf. But with the construction of a new railway to serve Zürich 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.^[4]

Layout

Bassersdorf railway station is located on Bahnhofstrasse, 500 metres (1,600 ft) south of the town center.^[1] The station consists of a side platform serving track 1 and an island platform for tracks 2 and 3; only the latter is used in scheduled service. A fourth track is not served by a platform. A small station building lies north of the platforms, along with a bus stop and car park. A pedestrian tunnel connects these facilities with the island platform and with Pöschenstrasse on the south side of the tracks. ^[5]
