Lines and stop order are read from OpenStreetMap route relations, not typed in by hand. A stop is attached to the nearest profiled commune within 6 km: stations often sit outside the centre and sometimes serve two communes, so this is a proximity rule rather than a municipal boundary.

On the Luxembourg leg, train, tram and bus are free in second class. From France, Belgium or Germany, only the foreign section is paid.
