History

The Chemins de fer de l'Est company puts into service Roissy-en-Brie station on February 9, 1857, as the section from Nogent - Le Perreux to Nangis opens to commercial service. That section opens with a single track, the second one is put into service on April 23. The next section, from Nangis to Flamboin, opens on April 25, 1857.[1]

In 2000,[2] a contract between the state and the Île-de-France region organizes the expansion of the RER E from Villiers-sur-Marne to Tournan. On February 14, 2002, the STIF board of directors approves of the pilot. On December 14, 2003, the line is cut from its historical network to Paris-Est, and linked with RER E leading to Haussmann - Saint Lazare underground station. That integration modify journeys and timetables, and improves the station services. Platforms are raised from 0.55 meters (1.80 ft) to 0.92 meters (3.02 ft) to facilitate access to the carriages. Facilities improve accessibility to people with limited mobility. Screens on the platforms show real time information.
