Sceaux: station history
Served by: RER B.
Did you know?
A station in the Hauts-de-Seine operated by the RATP and served by RER line B, at kilometre point 8.0 of the Sceaux line, Robinson branch, between Bourg-la-Reine and Fontenay-aux-Roses. Its station building dates from 1893 and its facades are identical to those of Fontenay-aux-Roses station. At Sceaux it overlooks the tracks, with an extra level on the platform side. A metal footbridge has led away from the building since the original construction.
Anecdote
In 1935, during the renovation of the Sceaux line, a concrete canopy was added to the curved platforms and the platforms were raised. The station has three entrances: rue Jean Mascré, rue Jean-Louis Sinet and avenue Raymond Poincaré. It should not be confused with the former station of Sceaux, near the parc de Sceaux.
