Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône-Quartier de l'Église: station history
Served by: Transilien J.
Did you know?
A station in the Val-d'Oise belonging to the SNCF and served by Transilien line J, on the Achères to Pontoise line, between the stations of Éragny - Neuville and Pontoise, 32.1 kilometres from Paris-Saint-Lazare via Achères. It is close to the church of Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône; the suffix "Quartier de l'Église" (church district) was added to distinguish it from the commune's other stations. It has two platforms that have not been raised, and the former level-crossing keeper's house, right at the rue Salvador-Allende level crossing, serves as a ticket office.
Anecdote
A level crossing lies to the north of the platforms. Bus lines 1226 and 1232 of the Cergy-Pontoise Confluence network serve the station, and Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône station is a 10-minute walk away. At peak times three trains an hour run to Paris-Saint-Lazare, for a 38-minute journey; off-peak in the counter-peak direction, two trains an hour do not serve Cormeilles-en-Parisis.
