Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse: station history
Served by: RER B.
Did you know?
A station in the Yvelines opened in 1867, run by RATP, and the southern terminus of the Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse branch of RER line B: it is the southernmost station on line B. The line, then called the Sceaux line, continued as a single track to Limours, with two intermediate halts, Les Molières and Boullay-les-Troux. The platforms were renovated in 2004 to improve accessibility for disabled people, the overhead lines renovated, and the old track towards Limours was completely isolated from the RER network. An underpass provides the crossing of the tracks, in place of an old plank crossing.
Anecdote
The station is about 700 m from the town hall of Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse and 1,500 m from that of Chevreuse, 400 m from the boundary between the two communes. A cycle path links it to the Chevreuse secondary school. It faces the Coubertin meadows, which run along the Yvette. The track to Limours continued for a few hundred metres beyond the station before being isolated.
