Rosa Parks station (French: Gare Rosa Parks) is a railway station in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, France near the Porte d'Aubervilliers. It is on the RER network, and also has a tram stop. The station opened on 13 December 2015, and bears the name of American civil rights activist Rosa Parks.

History

The station, initially named Évangile because of its proximity to Rue de l'Évangile, is located on the site of the former Est-Ceinture and Évangile stations, both part of the Parisian circular line "Petite Ceinture". [2] [3]

The remnants of Évangile station were demolished in 2011. A new stop on Tram Line 3b opened at the station site on 15 December 2012 and the RER station opened on 13 December 2015. [4]

The station bears the name of American civil rights activist Rosa Parks. [5] Explaining the name, Annick Lepetit, deputy of Bertrand Delanoë (Mayor of Paris from 2001 to 2014) in charge of transport, stated: "We wanted at least 50% female names. There has been much debate, especially with RATP, which favours existing place names, but for Rosa Parks there was a consensus: this is necessary for a tram station, it is a strong symbol". [6]

Services

The station, located on the Paris-Est–Strasbourg-Ville and Paris-Est–Mulhouse-Ville railways, both departing from Paris-Est, is served by the suburban line RER E. Île-de-France tramway Line 3b opened on 15 December 2012 with a stop located at the station.[ citation needed ]

Future

The extension of RER line E to Mantes-la-Jolie station is planned for December 2026. It is planned that the extension will be served by 6 trains per hour, and that these trains will have a Paris terminus at Rosa Parks. In order to accommodate this, two turnback platforms will be built. [7]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Transport in Paris</span> Overview of transport in the capital city of France

Paris is the centre of a national, and with air travel, international, complex transport system. The modern system has been superimposed on a complex map of streets and wide boulevards that were set in their current routes in the 19th century. On a national level, it is the centre of a web of road and railway, and at a more local level, it is covered with a dense mesh of bus, tram and metro service networks.

Transilien is the brand name given to the commuter rail network serving Île-de-France, the region surrounding and including the city of Paris. The network consists of nine lines: H, J, K, L, N, P, R, U, and V each operated by SNCF, the state-owned French railway company. The lines begin and end in major Parisian stations, except for lines U and V which connect major stations outside the Paris city borders. Unlike the RER network, the Transilien trains do not cross through the Paris city centre.

The Île-de-France tramways is a network of modern tram lines in the Île-de-France region of France. Fourteen lines are currently operational, with extensions and additional lines in both construction and planning stages. Although the system mainly runs in the suburban regions of Paris, lines T3a and T3b run entirely within Paris city limits, while lines T2 and T9 start their routes within Paris' borders. While lines operate independently of each other and are generally unconnected, some connections do exist: between lines T2 and T3a, T3a and T3b, T1 and T5, T1 and T8, T8 and T11 Express, T3a and T9 and T6 and T10. However, the final design of the entire planned tram network is fairly integrated.

The line is also known as the Tramway des Maréchaux because it follows the Boulevards of the Marshals, a series of boulevards that encircle Paris along the route of the former Thiers Wall. The boulevards are, with three exceptions, named for Napoleon's First Empire marshals (maréchaux); they were transformed by redevelopment works carried out during the two and a half year construction of the line, which opened on 16 December 2006 under the designation T3.
