Cergy-Saint-Christophe: station history
Served by: RER A, Transilien L.
Did you know?
A station opened on 29 September 1985, when the first extension of the Cergy line opened to traffic, at kilometre point 36.665 and an altitude of 97 metres, between Cergy-Préfecture and Cergy-le-Haut. It is served by RER A (branch A3) and, on weekdays, by Transilien line L. Its building is the work of the architects Martine and Philippe Deslandes and constitutes « the largest clock in Europe ».
Anecdote
The clock mechanism was supplied by the company Huchez, and the station entrance is on the passage de l'Horloge. On weekends and in the evening only RER A serves the station. A renaming to « Cergy-Axe Majeur - Horloge » was planned but was not in effect in October 2022. This station, with Cergy-Préfecture and Cergy-le-Haut, is one of the three stations of the new town of Cergy-Pontoise on the line.
