Sucy-Bonneuil: station history
Served by: RER A.
Did you know?
A station in the Val-de-Marne served by RER line A, opened on 5 September 1872 by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Est when the section from La Varenne to Boissy-Saint-Léger opened. The present RER station opened in 1969, after the Vincennes line was turned into a line of the regional Métro. Its name combines those of the communes of Sucy-en-Brie and Bonneuil-sur-Marne. It is a junction station, at kilometre point 19.424 of the Paris-Bastille to Marles-en-Brie line.
Anecdote
It is the terminus of the Bobigny to Sucy-Bonneuil line, known as the "Grande Ceinture complémentaire", whose new stations soon proved oversized in relation to their little use. Passenger traffic there later ceased, but heavy freight traffic continued. The station has three entrances: place de la Gare, portes de Sucy and allée La Pérouse. Its footbridge was renovated in 2009, and it is the eastern terminus of the dedicated-lane bus line 393.
