Aubergenville-Élisabethville: station history
Served by: Transilien J.
Did you know?
A station in the Yvelines served by Transilien line J, at 25 metres above sea level, at kilometre point 45.565 of the Paris-Saint-Lazare to Le Havre line. It began as a halt, created in 1891 by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Ouest, then developed in the early 1930s by the Administration des chemins de fer de l'État. It took the name Aubergenville-Élisabethville because of the development of the Élisabethville district and the associated tourist activity. The garden city of Élisabethville was founded in 1921 near the halt.
Anecdote
In 1935 special reduced-price return tickets were offered for Sundays and public holidays between Paris-Saint-Lazare and the station. From 1950 to 1952 the Renault factory at Flins was built nearby, with a railway siding. The station appears in the film "Elle court, elle court la banlieue" by Gérard Pirès, in its state of the time. Renovation works began in 2017, with raised and lengthened platforms, modernised shelters and lifts on platforms 1 and 2.
