Crépy-en-Valois: station history
Served by: Transilien K.
Did you know?
A station in the Oise, the terminus of Transilien line K and of TER K15 and P15 services. The present building, from 1863, replaced a temporary wooden building of 1861. It follows the standard plan for junction stations: a main block of five bays with a large gable and two low wings, with a cut-stone façade. The station has three platforms and an underpass.
Anecdote
The concession was granted to the Compagnie du Nord by imperial decree. When the line was electrified, the line to Senlis was diverted towards Ormoy-Villers because a bridge was too low. Crépy-en-Valois was part of the Paris suburban network until 1991. The station also handles freight.
