Créteil-Pompadour: station history
Served by: RER D.
Did you know?
A Val-de-Marne station, officially « Parc Interdépartemental des Sports », at kilometre point 9.708, between Le Vert de Maisons and Villeneuve-Triage. It replaces Villeneuve-Prairie station, 800 metres further south. The building of about 385 m² stands on stilts, and a 120-metre footbridge leads to buses on the RD 86.
Anecdote
Work lasted three years, from autumn 2010 to autumn 2013; the STIF announced it on 13 December 2013. It is the first station built on the territory of Créteil. Because ridership exceeded forecasts, a second platform was approved for 26 million euros, funded 70% by the Region and 30% by the State, with work planned from 2020 and commissioning announced for 2022. The station links the Trans-Val-de-Marne and bus line 393 to Pointe du Lac.
