A huge platform for buses, a bottleneck in front of the station squatted by inconvenient parked cars, large unspoiled paved spaces, no minute stops… The area around the RER D station in Pierrefitte-sur- Seine is not a model of success in terms of urban travel.
This station, which will be under construction between 2023 and 2025, also serves the city of Stains, located on the other side of the railway tracks, and also allows the T11 Tram to be recovered.
Every day, it sees 14,800 “upright” travelers pass, or 9.9 million travelers per year.

The site is valued at nearly 21 million euros, an amount co-financed by the Île-de-France transport union Mobilités, Gares et Connexions, Plaine commune and Seine-Saint-Denis.
The tidy sum underlines the extent of the necessary upgrading which will be presented at a public meeting organized this Wednesday evening.
Residents have until Friday to give their opinion.
A new station.
A new passenger building will be built well before the bus platform, towards avenue Laennec.
In particular, it will include 170 m2 of shops, a micro-working space, automatic sanitary facilities and adjoining bicycle parking spaces.
The current station located opposite will be the subject of a reflection to reuse the free surfaces.
Public spaces.
A two-way cycle path will be created along Avenue Ledru-Rollin, in Pierrefitte. The objective is also to create in the long term nearly 650 bicycle parking spaces in the public space, in the form of open spaces and garages, in Pierrefitte and Stains. Communities also want to make it easier to walk and add landscaping. Finally, it is planned to “optimize” the bus station and to fit out seven platforms for the four bus lines.
And the access to Stains?
It was the priority for Azzedine Taïbi (PCF), the mayor of this city separated from the SNCF infrastructures by the railways.
"We obtained the requalification of the underground passage to the current station, not at all passable and in which there is always flooding", recalls the elected, who expects more than a simple improvement of lighting.
It is also a question of "reserving" the location of a footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists, at the level of the Laennec avenue bridge and the future passenger building.
Public meeting this Wednesday at 6.30 p.m., at the Frédérick-Lemaître school group, 28-30, rue Frédérick-Lemaître in Pierrefitte-sur-Seine
