Boissise-le-Roi: station history
Served by: RER D.
Did you know?
A stop on RER line D, in Seine-et-Marne, on the Corbeil-Essonnes to Montereau line, in the north of the commune, on the left bank of the Seine, between Ponthierry - Pringy and Vosves, at an altitude of 41 metres. It was created on 28 May 1955 by the SNCF, whereas the Corbeil to Melun and Montereau line dated from 1897. There is no station building: only a machine issues tickets, and each platform has a semi-enclosed shelter.
Anecdote
Until 1995, trains linked the stop to Paris-Gare-de-Lyon and Melun, including in the evening and after midnight. From 1999, Paris is no longer served at weekday peak hours, and in 2005 evening and night trains were replaced by Noctilien coaches. There is no underpass or footbridge: passengers change platform at the level crossing at the east end, which makes the opposite platform inaccessible when its barriers are down.
