Can I travel from Mulhouse (France) to Basel using my France Pass?

Best answer by Camilo.

Hi @prheathcote 

There is a station called “Basel Sbb.” that appear in France. If you are not sure of picking the right one, you can always go to the map view on the App and select it. 

Have a lovely day!

Should be possible-but it is also quite possible that the app protests and tells you it is out of FR-then you have to adjust manually. To all stations/gares, also those that sit on the edge of 2 countries, is only 1 country attached.

Basel SBB should be the Swiss railway station and Basel Bad the German railway station. @rvdborgt Is there there also a French station in Basel?

SNCF used to call their wing of Basel SBB "Basel SNCF” (tracks 30-35) and that is a French tariff point to which any French network ticket, such as the one country Interrail pass for France, is valid.

However, the app does not show this, neither in the station list, nor on the map, which means you need to add a manual journey to Basel SBB (France).

@Camilo. that looks like a bug. For Basel Bad Bf, there are indeed two separate versions for Switzerland and Germany. Basel SBB should be similar for Switzerland and France. And there are a number of other stations for which such a thing should be implemented.
