Villepreux-Les Clayes: station history
Served by: Transilien N.
Did you know?
A station in the Yvelines opened on 15 June 1864 with the opening of the track between Saint-Cyr and Dreux, served by Transilien line N. It is at kilometre point 28.276 of the Saint-Cyr to Surdon line, at 120 metres above sea level, between Fontenay-le-Fleury and Plaisir - Les Clayes. The original building has disappeared and was replaced by a contemporary one; the station was renovated in 2009-2010, notably to ease access for disabled people, and its forecourt was redeveloped in 2020.
Anecdote
It has two side platforms, of 228 and 222 metres of usable length, linked by an underpass. A "Correspondance culturelle" kiosk lets passengers borrow two books for fifteen days, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., and a book box has stood in front of the station since 2021. In March 2022 the municipal council of Les Clayes-sous-Bois opposed the plan to close the ticket windows at weekends.
