Ermont-Halte: station history
Served by: Transilien H.
Did you know?
A station in the Val-d'Oise opened in 1876 by the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Nord, now owned by the SNCF and served by Transilien line H, at 55 metres above sea level, at kilometre point 15.553. Its passenger building follows a standard plan of the Compagnie du Nord, erected specifically on the line: a low wing of three bays and a perpendicular main block. The wooden canopy is shorter than those of the other stations of this family. The street-side entrance has been redesigned and an annex added to the high wing.
Anecdote
The Ermont-Valmondois junction, via Saint-Leu-la-Forêt, opened in 1876 as single track, then was doubled in 1889. In December 1970 the electrification of the Ermont-Eaubonne - Valmondois branch ended steam traction, with the 141 TC locomotives. Accessibility works raised the platforms, created two lifts and installed toilets. Car parks are present, but no bus line serves the station.
