MODERNIZATION OF LILLE STATION

Few movements had been made to Lille station since its construction was completed in 1882. Time has aged its appearance and the layout was poorly adapted to present-day working requirements. Once the Lille city authorities had decided that the VAL automatic metro system should be built with a station beneath the main railway station, the SNCF, the City and the Nord-Pas de Calais Regional Authority. The project adopted retains and enhances the 19th century architecture of the building while providing functional amenities which make it a modern station well adapted to its role of being the hub of public transport for the Lille area.
