Le Coudray-Montceaux: station history
Served by: RER D.
Did you know?
A station in the Essonne opened in 1897 with the Corbeil – Melun – Montereau line, built by the PLM company. The old station building still exists but is no longer in use; each platform has a shelter and an underpass. The station is 43 metres above sea level, at kilometre point 39.207, on the banks of the Seine, in the Bas Coudray district. It is unstaffed and open to all.
Anecdote
It is one of the five historic stations between Corbeil and Melun, along with Ponthierry-Pringy, Villabé, Saint-Fargeau-Seine-Port and Vosves. Before RER D opened southward in 1995, trains linked Gare de Lyon and Melun daily, including after midnight. Since 1999 there has been no direct peak service to Paris, only Melun – Juvisy shuttles; since 2005 there have been no evening or night trains, replaced by a bus.
