Mormant: station history
Served by: Transilien P.
Did you know?
A station in Seine-et-Marne opened on 9 February 1857 by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Est, at the opening of the Nogent - Le Perreux to Nangis section, first single-track. After the Second World War it closed because of low use (date unknown). In 1976, a petition titled "Mormant must not die" gathered about 1,500 signatures, and the departmental councillor Marc Bareyre appealed to the President of the Republic. The station reopened on 28 May 1989, with a new, smaller and more modern building.
Anecdote
It is 106 metres above sea level, at PK 58.302, between Verneuil-l'Étang and Nangis, 350 metres from the town centre. In 2001 the service was integrated into line J, then into line P in 2004. Around 2004, users, including the association "RaslebolSncf", created in 2003, threatened to pull the alarm of a Corail train in case of a breakdown without a replacement train. In 1990, a third morning train to Paris was added, at the expense of Gretz-Armainvilliers, which angered the residents of Gretz.
