Laplace: station history
Served by: RER B.
Did you know?
An RER line B station in Arcueil, opened in 1894 and run today by the RATP. It was rebuilt in the Art Deco style in the 1930s, during the modernisation of the Sceaux line by the CMP. It sits on a railway embankment that spans avenue Laplace, between Gentilly and Arcueil-Cachan.
Anecdote
The station has several platform tracks, which allow one train to overtake another during disruptions. It is also the morning terminus of some trains from Mitry-Claye. In the past, the Saint-Rémy train overtook the stopping service here. The offset south platform is unused and fenced off. A "Maison des examens" for the nearby inter-academic examinations service has been announced.
