Gennevilliers: station history
Served by: RER C.
Did you know?
A station in the Hauts-de-Seine opened in 1988, served by RER line C on the Pontoise branch. It was originally located further north, along avenue Marcel-Paul. It was moved in 1988, when the Vallée de Montmorency - Invalides link was created, to allow a connection with a future dedicated-lane transport line along the D 986.
Anecdote
That project only came to fruition in 2012, as tramway T1: twenty-four years after the station was moved. The old station building now houses a fast-food restaurant, accessible only from the public road. The station also offers a connection with the Chanteraines railway, a tourist line serving the Chanteraines park.
