Sannois: station history
Served by: Transilien J.
Did you know?
A station in the Val-d'Oise served by Transilien line J, opened in the summer of 1863 with the section of line between Colombes and Ermont-Eaubonne. Located east of the town centre, at natural ground level, at kilometre point 12.705, it is the sixth stop after Argenteuil. Sannois was for a long time the only intermediate station on the short link between Ermont-Eaubonne and Argenteuil, which connected the Nord and Saint-Lazare networks. From 1988 to 2006 the station was served by RER line C.
Anecdote
From 1950 to 1970 the Ermont-Eaubonne to Argenteuil shuttle was nicknamed "La poule" (the hen), because of its perpetual coming and going. In 1984 level crossing no. 7, close to the station, was permanently closed and replaced by a road bypass. In 2007 the second track was moved, both tracks were raised by 80 centimetres and brought closer together, and an underpass for pedestrians and cyclists was created.
