Lyon-Perrache or simply Perrache (French : Gare de Lyon-Perrache, [ɡaʁdəljɔ̃pɛʁaʃ] ) is a large railway station located in the Perrache quarter, in the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon, France. Historically the primary railway station in Lyon, today it is the city's second-busiest station, after the newer Lyon-Part-Dieu station.

History

The station was built in 18 months starting in 1855 by François-Alexis Cendrier [ fr ] for the Chemin de fer de Paris à Lyon. From the beginning it was designed as a central station unifying the lines of the three companies then serving Lyon, which merged to form the Chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée (PLM) as the station was opening. The building was built in classical style and is composed of a double rooftop and a large passenger building.

The station lost its view of the city when an intermodal terminal (combining local public transit and intercity buses) and dual-carriageway highway were built in front of it in the 1970s. Although much modern building has somewhat tarnished the look of the area, the station retains many of its original features:

The station front features the names of towns served by trains departing Lyon-Perrache.
The platforms are covered by two twin iron rooftops.

It is the terminus of Lyon services to and from Paris on the high-speed LGV Sud-Est railway line. It is also served by conventional trains from other parts of France, and is a terminus of Line A of the Lyon Metro. It is also served by Lyon tramway lines T1 and T2.

Today, Perrache is no longer the primary rail station serving Lyon. Instead, Lyon-Part-Dieu station, constructed in the 1970s in a large planned business district outside the central city, acts as the more popular embarkation point for most high-speed trains, especially to Paris and the north.

Future

A rebuilding of the station is planned for completion by 2030, with a view to improving the intermodal terminal, which by then will be half a century old.^{[ citation needed ]}
