Marly-le-Roi: station history
Served by: Transilien L.
Did you know?
A station in the Yvelines opened by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Ouest, with a station building built in 1884 on the standard model for third-class stations on the Grande Ceinture de Paris line, designed by the engineer Luneau. The façades combine quoins, pilasters and friezes in red brick and stone, and the roofs are highlighted with lambrequins. The Compagnie de l'Ouest reused this model for the Saint-Cloud to Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche line.
Anecdote
The original building survives in good condition, while the annexes were demolished. The station is the sixth on the line from Paris-Saint-Lazare, after Louveciennes and before L'Étang-la-Ville, at 106 metres above sea level. In 2018, accessibility works installed two lifts, for seven million euros. A Portuguese-style postbox, given by the town of Viseu, twinned with Marly, stands against the building. Since 13 December 2015, no train has had Marly-le-Roi as its terminus or origin.
