Boigneville: station history
Served by: RER D.
Did you know?
A passenger stop on RER line D, in the Essonne, on the Villeneuve-Saint-Georges to Montargis line, between Buno - Gironville and Malesherbes, at an altitude of 71 metres. It opened in 1867 under the PLM company: the Maisse to Montargis section, on which it stands, opened on 5 May 1867. It is about one kilometre north of the church square of Boigneville. The old station building is closed and stands next to a car park.
Anecdote
The platforms, equipped with shelters, information panels and a Transilien ticket machine, are linked by a boarded pedestrian crossing, protected by flashing red signals when a train approaches. According to Wikipedia, Île-de-France public transport fares in theory no longer apply beyond the station, towards Malesherbes. Two bus lines, 4342 and 4343, also serve the station.
