Bassersdorf is a railway station in the Swiss canton of Zurich and municipality of Bassersdorf. The station is located on the Zurich to Winterthur main line, to the east of the point where the Zürich Airport and Kloten branches of that line diverge. It is an intermediate stop on Zurich S-Bahn services S7 and S16.[1][2][3]
The original routing of the railway was through the centre of the village of Bassersdorf. With the construction of the new railway to serve Zürich Airport in 1980, this route was abandoned, along with the original Bassersdorf railway station. A new station was constructed on the new line, some 500 m (1,600 ft) to the south.[4]
