Viarmes: station history
Served by: Transilien H.
Did you know?
A station in the Val-d'Oise opened in 1880 by the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Nord when the Montsoult - Maffliers to Luzarches line opened. Its station building, in classical style, follows a standard plan of the Compagnie du Nord for small stations, drawn by the architect Lejeune: a central block of three bays topped by an attic, flanked by two single-storey wings, with two paired round-arched windows in the gables. It is identical to that of Belloy - Saint-Martin, and its stone facade has been covered with render.
Anecdote
The station stands at 123 metres above sea level, at kilometre point 31.466, near the departmental road 909, the third stop on the line after Belloy - Saint-Martin and before the Seugy halt. In 1960 it still had two through tracks and a siding; only one track and its side platform remain today. In 2000 the station was used as a set for an episode of the series Joséphine, ange gardien, whose action is nevertheless placed in the Creuse.
