Sevran-Beaudottes: station history
Served by: RER B.
Did you know?
An underground station in Seine-Saint-Denis served by RER B, on the Aulnay-sous-Bois to Roissy 2 line, between Aulnay-sous-Bois and Villepinte. It has two tracks and two platforms, passengers moving from one to the other by stairs that go back up to the entrances. It has several entrances, one of which passes through the Beau Sevran shopping centre and another runs along rue André-Toutain. Its station building has been renovated.
Anecdote
Preparatory work linked to the future Grand Paris Express line 16 station has begun. That underground station will be located south-east of the SNCF station, with platforms 29 metres deep, and an underground corridor will link it to RER B. Its design was entrusted to the Duthilleul architecture agency.
