Anecdote
According to a comparison of IGN maps, there was originally neither a station nor a halt between La Verrière and Les Essarts-le-Roi. The regional master plan of September 2008 proposed extending RER C (branch C7) to Coignières and line U to Rambouillet. The page mentions the use of Z 5312 trains in 2011 and notes that Z 5300 trains no longer run on line N since 2015.
