Cernay: station history
Served by: RER C, Transilien H.
Did you know?
A station in the Val-d'Oise belonging to the SNCF, located south of Ermont, in the middle of the Montmorency valley. In 1846 the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Nord put into service the section of the Paris to Lille line that passes through Cernay, and a stop was created there in 1889. It was then a halt reduced to its simplest expression: platforms, a wooden shelter and an unpaved access path. Train stops were suspended during the First World War.
Anecdote
The station's platforms overlook departmental road 192, which the line crosses at right angles. A free car park of 41 spaces is available to travellers. In 2010 a Transilien ticket office was open, with induction loops for people with hearing difficulties.
