The railway line from Marseille reached Monaco in 1868. The station, originally named Monaco (Gare de Monaco), was renamed Monaco-Monte-Carlo in the 1950s, after the building of a new tunnel bypassing a second SNCF station named Monte-Carlo (closed in 1965).[1][2][3]
In the early 1990s, it was decided to re-route the railway completely underground and build a new station closer to the centre of Monaco. Construction commenced in 1993; the new station opened on 7 December 1999, replacing the former surface station from then on.[3] This comprises a curved tunnel 466 metres (1,529 ft) in length, 22 metres (72 ft) wide and 13 metres (43 ft) in height. There are three tracks through the station (accessed from a side platform on the south side) and an island platform between the two tracks to the north.
Old surface platforms (1974). This station is indicated by blue dots on the map.

Monte-Carlo Country Club haltedit
A single platform halt is located at the eastern end of the Monaco tunnel, over the Monaco border in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France. It provides access to the Monte-Carlo Country Club (also itself located in France) and is only operational during the Monte Carlo Masters tennis tournament each April. It is served by TER services between Cannes and Ventimiglia.[4][5] Its platform is located on the southern side of the line.
