Since June 2008, trains have turned around automatically there, which required platform screen doors; it is the first Paris metro station, apart from lines 1 and 14, to be equipped with them. It is a terminus of tram T6. A line 15 South station is being built alongside, with a central ceiling of 800 m² by Laurent Grasso and a fresco by Roxane Lumeret on the platforms, with opening planned around summer 2026.
