Railway situation
The station is located in Cachan, at the edge of the D920 (ex-RN20), named avenue Aristide-Briand at this point, the main north / south axis which marks the municipal and departmental limit with Bagneux.
It also bears the name of “Pont Royal”, a public road south of the station being called “avenue du Pont-Royal”. It is therefore one of the two RER stations in Cachan, the other being the Arcueil - Cachan station, at the edge of Arcueil, approximately 800 meters to the north, on the same line.
The station is in the classic configuration of two platforms surrounding 2 tracks. The only special case, being that the station is in a particularly tight curve, followed by a counter curve in a southerly direction, limiting the speed to 70 kph for semi-direct trains. The station is built with an open trench below the road. Access to the platforms is only via their southern end, where the passenger building is located, built above the two tracks.
The station is located at Kilometric Point (KP) 11 (point at the southern end of the station).
Connection
The station is served by:
- bus lines 197 and 391 of the RATP bus network
- Bus lines V3 of the "Valouette" bus network
- and, at night, by line N14 of the Noctilien bus network.
