Triel-sur-Seine: station history
Served by: Transilien J.
Did you know?
A station in the Yvelines served by Transilien line J, 33.2 kilometres from Paris-Saint-Lazare, on the Paris-Saint-Lazare to Mantes-Station line via Conflans-Sainte-Honorine. The platforms were renovated in summer 2005 and raised to suit the threshold height of current trains. In 2006 the surroundings were redeveloped, with the creation of a bus station and a drop-off area in front of the station. Bus lines 10 and 64 of the Poissy - Les Mureaux network, and at night Noctilien line N151, serve it.

The Triel bridge, a road viaduct with a double deck resting on the île d'Hernière, is described as the last bridge built over the Seine in the Yvelines.
