RER E: the complete offer!

Good news for all passengers crossing the Île-de-France from east to west: since December 15, 2024, the RER E connects the east of the Île-de-France directly to the west of Paris, without changing at Magenta Gare du Nord or Haussmann Saint-Lazare.

A complete offer made possible by the arrival of 34 additional RER NG trains, the purchase of which was 100% financed by Île-de-France Mobilités.

What is "RER NG"? This is the name of the new trains that have been running on this line since November 2023.

More frequent trains

Travel from Chelles-Gournay, Villiers-sur-Marne or Tournan to Nanterre-la-Folie, directly with more frequent trains: 16 trains per hour run during peak hours, i.e. 1 train every 4 minutes, and 10 trains per hour during off-peak hours, i.e. 1 train every 6 minutes in the central section of the line between Nanterre-la-Folie and Rosa Parks.

The RER E? Simply the RER line + fast in Île-de-France

With the complete offer of the RER E, your journeys are even faster. With a speed of up to 120 km/h in the central section, the RER E will transform the mobility of thousands of passengers.

Concretely:

  • Haussmann - Saint-Lazare <> La Défense: 7 minutes (as with the RER A from Auber)
  • Magenta Station Gare du Nord <> La Défense: 10 minutes
  • Rosa Parks <> La Défense: 15 minutes
  • Val de Fontenay <> La Défense: 24 minutes
  • Chelles-Gournay <> Neuilly-Porte Maillot: 34 minutes

Connections to northern Europe from La Défense are also optimized, with a train to Magenta (and therefore the Gare du Nord) every 4 minutes during rush hour.

The most interconnected line in Île-de-France

With the deployment of this comprehensive offer, the RER E becomes the most interconnected RER line in Île-de-France, offering connections with the other four RER lines, six Transilien train lines, ten metro lines and four tram lines*.

  • 12% desaturation expected for passengers on the RER B and RER D, between Paris Gare du Nord and Châtelet – Les Halles.

The number of passengers on the RER E is expected to almost double (370,000 today, 600,000 expected with the extension to Nanterre-la-Folie and 700,000 during the extension to Mantes-La-Jolie).
