Robinson: station history
Served by: RER B.
Did you know?
An RER line B station, terminus of branch B2, opened in 1893 when the old wide-gauge Sceaux line of the Arnoux system was converted to standard gauge, with its route extended and straightened. Before 1904, operation was by the Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans using steam traction. The old terminus station, in service from 1846 to 1894, stood in impasse du Marché; it now houses private flats. The present station building dates from 1893. The station now belongs to RATP.
Anecdote
The name comes from a district straddling four communes: Sceaux, Fontenay-aux-Roses, Châtenay-Malabry and Le Plessis-Robinson. The station is in Sceaux, near the border with Châtenay-Malabry, and 400 m from Fontenay-aux-Roses and Le Plessis-Robinson. It has two entrances: no. 1 avenue de la Gare and no. 2 avenue Jules Guesde. Since mid-2019, the station has been under works to redo its accesses and ease connections with buses.
