How to take the rail journey from Basel to Biel/Bienne (and on to Geneve or Lausanne)

Basel / Bâle to Biel/Bienne by train
A few years ago the Swiss national rail timetable was restructured and the direct trains from Basel to both Geneve and Lausanne were removed.
So the trains now travel no further than Biel/Bienne, but at that station the connection on to Lausanne is as simple as can be, with the trains on to Lausanne typically leaving less than 5 mins after the arrival from Basel.
And making the connection usually involves simply stepping across the platform from one train to the other.
Though on the latest timetable the Basel to Geneve journey on this route has been made more complicated by the need to take a train heading to Lausanne on from Biel/Bienne - and then make a further connection at Renens VD station into a train on to Geneva.
