Boran-sur-Oise: station history
Served by: Transilien H.
Did you know?
A Transilien line H stop, in the Oise, on the Pierrelaye to Creil line, between Bruyères-sur-Oise and Précy-sur-Oise, at an altitude of 30 metres. It was put into service by the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Nord when the Paris to Creil line opened. In 2011, the municipality bought the former station building in order to turn it, after restoration, into a tourism development hub. The ticket office is closed, and a footbridge allows passengers to cross from one platform to the other.
Anecdote
Nearby, the Île de Boran-sur-Oise stretches about 630 metres long and 110 metres wide in the middle of the Oise. It is linked to the left bank by two locks and to the right bank by the Asnières weir, built from 2009 to 2011 to control floods, and a path crosses it from the weir to the locks. From the island, you can see the Oise valley and the Carnelle forest.
