I thought there was, apart from Basel Bad. Bf. I already knew about
and which you mention here, another station in Basle, this time
belonging to the SNCF (French railways). Is there a similar customs
regime here?
And on the subject of Basle: on my (not very good) Michelin road map,
I can see a tram (or light rail) going from Basle to a village called
Rodersdorf. Nothing special, if it weren't for the fact that it
crosses French territory at a village called Leymen. I can't see a
station there on my map. It looks something like the case at Neusalza-
Spremberg in Saxony, Germany. Does someone know anything about this
case?
Another interesting case is the Polish railway station of Krzewina
Zgorzelecka, which basically serves the German town of Ostritz. Some
information can be found at http://www.agnld.uni-
potsdam.de/~martin/Eisenbahn/Strecken/Krzewina/krzewina.html .
