La Verrière: station history
Served by: Transilien N and U.
Did you know?
A station in the Yvelines served by Transilien lines N and U. The Versailles-Chantiers to Chartres section opened on 12 July 1849. The current station was built in 1977, 76 metres upstream of the old one, then renovated in 2013-2014. It stands at kilometre point 32.209, between Trappes and Coignières, and is 170 metres long.
Anecdote
Two central platforms frame four tracks, linked by an underpass. An extension of RER C to Coignières is no longer planned. A dedicated bus route between La Verrière and Trappes, via Maurepas and Élancourt, saw works begin in February 2017. At night, Noctilien lines N161 and N162 serve the station.
