Did you know?
A station in the Yvelines, in the territory of Montigny-le-Bretonneux, opened in 1975 when the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines new town was created. It is on the Paris-Montparnasse to Brest line, at PK 23.989 and 164 m altitude, between Saint-Cyr and Trappes, served by Transilien/RER lines N, U and C and by TER Centre-Val de Loire trains. Three central platforms serve six tracks, and changing platforms is done through an underpass. The station building includes ticket offices, a Transilien agency, a long-distance shop, machines and real-time information devices.
Anecdote
The station is a terminus of the C7 branch of RER C. The ticket hall, façades and a pedestrian passage with shops have been redone, and a new entrance on the RD 10 side was planned. The former university library was demolished to make way for a bus station. The station has an underground bus station with two lifts, a car park and a bicycle park. A Paris - Chartres TER stops there on weekdays, in the Paris-to-province direction only.
