Bures-sur-Yvette: station history
Served by: RER B.
Did you know?
A RER B station on the former Sceaux line, at kilometre point 22.0, between Orsay-Ville and Gif-sur-Yvette, owned by the RATP. Its building is made of millstone grit (« pierre meulière ») and dates from the extension of the Sceaux line from Orsay to Limours. The station particularly serves the west of the Orsay campus and is right next to student residences; together with La Hacquinière station, it is one of the commune's two stations.
Anecdote
The underpass that lets passengers cross the tracks replaced an old crossing made of planks. At night the station is served by Noctilien line N122, and by day by several bus lines of the Paris-Saclay, Centre and Sud Yvelines networks.
