History
The Chemins de fer de l'Est company put into service Roissy-en-Brie station on 9 February 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 23 April. The next section, from Nangis to Flamboin, opens on 25 April 1857.[2]
In 2000,[3] a contract between the State and the Île-de-France region organised the expansion of RER E from Villiers-sur-Marne–Le Plessis-Trévise to Tournan. On 14 February 2002, the STIF board of directors approves of the pilot. On 14 December 2003, the line is cut from its historical network to Paris-Est, and linked with RER E leading to Haussmann–Saint-Lazare. That integration modify journeys and timetables, and improves the station services. Platforms are raised from 0.55 metres (1.80 ft) to 0.92 metres (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.
