Saint-Leu-d'Esserent: station history

Served by: Transilien H.

Did you know?

A station in the Oise put into service in 1846 by the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Nord, when the Paris to Lille and Valenciennes line came into operation, about 61 kilometres from Paris. In 1856 it was called "Saint-Leu-d'Esserent station", for a small town of about 1,200 inhabitants. A coach service, connecting with the train, then served Saint-Leu, Chantilly and Senlis. It stands at 30 metres above sea level, at kilometre point 60.584 of the Pierrelaye to Creil line.

Anecdote

The passenger building has a ticket office open on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and a machine for Transilien tickets, and a footbridge allows passengers to cross from one platform to the other. A bicycle park and a car park are provided. The station is served by the Transilien Paris-Nord network (line H), lines D and E of the AXO network and lines 635, 649 and 6206 of the Oise intercity network.
