Strong parallel line topology

Let AA be the subset of the plane {(x,0)  0<x1} \{ (x,0)\ |\ 0 < x \leq 1 \} and let BB be the subset {(x,1)  0x<1}\{ (x,1)\ |\ 0\leq x<1 \}. Let X=ABX = A \cup B as a set. The strong parallel line topology on XX is defined by taking as a basis all sets of the form V={(x,1)  ax<b}V = \{ (x,1)\ |\ a \leq x < b\} and U={(x,0)  a<xb}{(x,1)  a<x<b}U = \{(x,0)\ |\ a < x \leq b \} \cup \{(x,1)\ |\ a<x<b\}.
