Lieusaint-Moissy: station history
Served by: RER D.
Did you know?
A station in Seine-et-Marne on the Paris-Lyon to Marseille-Saint-Charles line, on the border of Lieusaint and Moissy-Cramayel, served by RER line D. It marks the start of the high-speed line to Lyon, opened in 1983. The original building, designed by the architect François-Alexis Cendrier, who also designed other stations for the company, was demolished. The station was rebuilt between 2002 and 2005, in response to strong population growth in both towns.
Anecdote
The main building is on the Lieusaint side and a second building, on the Moissy-Cramayel side, gives access to trains. A covered footbridge links them and leads to the platforms, served by escalators, lifts and ordinary stairs. In 1866, a single Paris-Lieusaint fare cost 3.45 F in first class, 2.60 F in second and 1.90 F in third. Today the average journey to Paris takes about 39 minutes.
