Massy TGV station (French: Gare de Massy TGV) is a TGV railway station in Massy, France. The station was built along the LGV Atlantique and serves as a transfer point to the regional rail system that stops at the nearby Massy-Palaiseau station.
The proximity of station the Massy-Palaiseau station (one can even consider that Massy TGV is an extension of this station) makes it possible for this station to serve a great part of south Paris and its suburbs. The station also offers the advantage of enabling Lille–Tours(–Bordeaux) and Strasbourg-Tours(-Bordeaux) trains to serve Paris via the LGV Interconnexion Est without having to turn around at a terminus station (e.g. Gare de l'Est or Gare de Lyon).[1] However, in spite of these advantages, the traffic of this station remains low.
Historyedit
On 29 September 1991, Massy TGV was inaugurated by the SNCF.[2] It had a total cost of 160,000,000 French francs (equivalant to €24,391,843).[1]
The station project first received the opposition of the SNCF and the local residents of Massy; the project was considered to be too close to Montparnasse station, in Paris, and a potential nuisance. The Ministry of Transport nevertheless pursued the project, as the station might avoid the suburban commuters having to travel through the capital with the RER C or B from Massy-Palaiseau.[3]
In 2007, works were launched in order to restructure the area and the station and better integration in Massy. This involves the construction of a footbridge which would link Massy TGV, Massy – Palaiseau SNCF station, Massy – Palaiseau RATP station. The end of the works, initially programmed for 2010,[4] has been delayed by two years.[5]
