Achères-Ville is a French railway station in Achères '' commune'', in Yvelines ''département'', Île-de-France region. Location The station is at kilometric point 23.594Livre : Reinhard Douté, ''Les 400 profils de lignes voyageurs du réseau ferré français'', édité par La Vie du Rail en août 2011, , volume 1, page 129. of Achères-Pontoise railway. Its altitude is . History The station was put in operation in May 1976 to bring rail transport closer to the town. Until then Achères was only served by Achères–Grand-Cormier station, on Paris–Le Havre railway, located from the city center.

Réseau Express Régional
The Réseau Express Régional ( en, Regional Express Network), commonly abbreviated RER (), is a hybrid commuter rail and rapid transit system serving Paris and its suburbs. It acts as a combined city-centre underground rail system and suburbs-to-city-centre commuter rail. In the city centre it acts much like the Paris Métro, though faster, having fewer stops. This has made it a model for proposals to improve transit within other cities. The network consists of five lines: A, B, C, D and E. The network has 257 stations and has interchanges with the Métro and commuter rail within the City of Paris and the suburbs. The lines are identified by letters to avoid confusion with the Métro lines, which are identified by numbers. The network is still expanding: RER E, which opened in 1999, is planned for westward extension toward La Défense and Mantes-la-Jolie in two phases by 2024–2026. Characteristics The RER contains 257 stations, 33 of which are within the city of Pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gare De Cergy-le-Haut
Cergy-le-Haut is a railway station in Cergy, a Paris suburb. The station was built in 1994 by the Agence des gares (J.-M. Duthilleul, É. Tricaud) and receives trains from Gare Saint-Lazare as well as the RER. The station is half underground and was built in an area of openland fields, now built upon and is part of the network of stations serving the ville nouvelle of Cergy-Pontoise. It was part of a large project to develop the area and smart Parisian style buildings have been built next to the station around a plaza situated above the tracks. Cergy-le-Haut is not yet fully developed so fields are next to the station and next to seven-storey high apartment buildings. Patronage is high so during the rush hours it is served by RER trains every ten minutes and by suburban trains every ten minutes. Trains on RER services are usually MI 2N and MI 09 whilst trains on suburban services is Z50000. See also * List of stations of the Paris RER A ''list'' is any set of items in a r ...

RER A is one of the five lines in the Réseau Express Régional (English: Regional Express Network), a hybrid commuter rail and rapid transit system serving Paris, France and its suburbs. The line crosses the region from east to west, with all trains serving a group of stations in central Paris, before branching out towards the ends of the line.

Kilometric Point
A milestone is a numbered marker placed on a route such as a road, railway, railway line, canal or border, boundary. They can indicate the distance to towns, cities, and other places or landmarks; or they can give their position on the route relative to some datum location. On roads they are typically located at the side or in a Central reservation, median or central reservation. They are alternatively known as mile markers, mileposts or mile posts (sometimes abbreviated MPs). A "kilometric point" is a term used in Metrication, metricated areas, where distances are commonly measured in kilometres instead of miles. "Distance marker" is a generic unit-agnostic term. Milestones are installed to provide linear referencing points along the road. This can be used to reassure travellers that the proper path is being followed, and to indicate either distance travelled or the remaining distance to a destination. Such references are also used by maintenance engineers and emergency se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
