Dordives: station history
Served by: Transilien R.
Did you know?
A station in the Loiret put into service in 1895 by the PLM, on the Moret-Veneux-les-Sablons to Lyon-Perrache line, at kilometre point 101.349 and an altitude of 72 metres, between Souppes-Château-Landon and Ferrières-Fontenay. Served by Transilien line R, it is an unstaffed halt.
Anecdote
In 1881 the Loiret departmental council asked for a station; the minister refused, as traffic was insufficient. It was closed to slow goods traffic in 1911. In April 2015 a night-time works project lengthened the platforms by 82 and 96 metres to take twelve-coach trains. The original building seems to have been a level-crossing keeper's house that gained a floor between 1910 and 1920.
