Torcy: station history
Served by: RER A.
Did you know?
A station in Seine-et-Marne opened in 1980 by the RATP, on the eastern branch of RER A, at kilometre point 47.86, between Lognes and Bussy-Saint-Georges. It was opened to support the development of the new town of Marne-la-Vallée and was the terminus of branch A4 from 1980 to 1992; it was then called Torcy - Marne-la-Vallée. In 1992 line A was extended to Marne-la-Vallée - Chessy, to serve the Disneyland parks and the TGV station.
Anecdote
It has two entrances: one on avenue Jean Moulin, with a ticket window, machines and a café, the other on rue Léon Blum, leading to the Bay 1 Loisirs shopping centre. The south-side station building was renovated and enlarged from February 2019, and the works were completed in the fourth quarter of 2021. A park-and-ride of about 1,100 free spaces is next door. The name of the town is thought to come from the Gallo-Roman Turciacum, and Torcy appeared as Torcy en Brie from the 15th century.
