Vernou-sur-Seine: station history
Served by: Transilien R.
Did you know?
A halt in Seine-et-Marne served by Transilien line R, on the Corbeil-Essonnes to Montereau line, at kilometre point 85.177. It is one of the thirteen new stations opened in 1897 when the line came into service, originally conceded on an eventual basis to the PLM company. The station building is closed and offers no commercial service. There is no underpass: passengers cross the tracks by a boarded pedestrian crossing, and flashing red signals forbid crossing when a train approaches.
Anecdote
The halt has a Transilien ticket machine and is served by the stopping trains of line R between Melun and Montereau, as well as by bus lines 3430 and 3439 of the Fontainebleau - Moret network. The line itself follows the meanders of the Seine in curves along the hillside, with a view of the river and its locks; it is double-track and has been electrified since 1950 at 1,500 volts DC. Vernou-sur-Seine is now part of Vernou-la-Celle-sur-Seine.
