On December 15, many changes will take place on line D with a new service, new timetables and the opening of the new Créteil-Pompadour station (as we have already discussed in previous posts).
But this date also marks the final closure of the Villeneuve Prairie station. You will now have to go to Créteil Pompadour station, located about 800 meters away, to take the train.
For our travelers who took the train at this station, here is some additional information: From December 15, trains no longer serve Villeneuve Prairie and all accesses are closed. For technical reasons, sales to Villeneuve Prairie will be available on certain ticket machines until January 2014.
