Pont de Rungis-Aéroport d'Orly: station history
Served by: RER C.
Did you know?
A station in the Val-de-Marne located in the commune of Thiais, about three kilometres north-east of Orly airport, operated by the SNCF and served by RER C and by the Ouigo Train Classique service, which links Paris-Austerlitz to Rennes or Nantes. It is the terminus of ROMI trains and, at night, Noctilien lines N22 and N31 serve it. In 2021 the Go C Paris shuttle, which linked the station to Orly, was withdrawn and replaced by RATP bus line 183.
Anecdote
The LGV Interconnexion Sud project provided for a new station near Orly, with Pont de Rungis among four sites considered; after a public debate (2010-2011), a location as close as possible to the terminals was chosen. A TGV station at Pont de Rungis is again being considered, linked to the arrival of metro line 14, whose underground station, about 26 metres deep, will be topped by a passenger building with hall, ticket office, fare gates and bicycle storage. This building will have a north access towards RER C and an east access onto a forecourt linked to buses and active modes.
