THE PARIS-NORD SUBURBAN STATION: COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION WORK ON THE LOW- LEVEL STATION

Since 1977, the Paris-Nord station has been the scene of extensive construction work jointly undertaken by the S.N.C.F. and R.A.T.P. to allow through-running of trains of the RER (Regional Express) Line B and S.N.C.F. systems, the interconnection point being the low-level part of the new station. Additions to the original project include a bus station and surface terminal facilities for suburban lines not connected directly to the RER system, with the aim of creating a specifically surburban terminal within the limits of the old Gare du Nord. The result is a fully integrated transport complex with excellent interchange facilities.
