Montgeroult-Courcelles: station history
Served by: Transilien J.
Did you know?
A station in the Val-d'Oise on the Saint-Denis to Dieppe line, at kilometre point 36.496, 43 metres above sea level, near Courcelles-sur-Viosne. It is an SNCF station, served by Transilien line J (Paris Saint-Lazare). In 2017 its service became less attractive after a timetable change on line J; for several years the station was under threat of closure. In 2019, Île-de-France Mobilités decided to adapt the platforms to Francilien trains, which secures the station's future.
Anecdote
It is served by one train every two hours off-peak, and about one train an hour at peak times. Two bus lines of the Vexin network (95-24 and 95-41) serve it, and a level crossing stands nearby. The station façade appears in the film La Délicatesse (2011) by Stéphane and David Foenkinos: the character Nathalie, played by Audrey Tautou, arranges to meet Markus, played by François Damiens, there.
