Magenta station is a station of the Île-de-France Réseau Express Régional (RER), in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, France. Built on the site of the Gare du Nord, the original name of Magenta station was Nord-Est with the possibility of a connection to both Paris-Nord and Paris-Est.




Location


The station is located on the underground section of the RER line E, immediately east of Gare du Nord. It follows the Haussmann–Saint-Lazare station (in the 9th arrondissement) and precedes the Rosa Parks station (in the 19th arrondissement).




History


The station, which should have been called the Gare Nord-Est Station, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Lionel Jospin on 12 July 1999, before the opening to the public of RER line E on 14 July 1999. Its name comes from its proximity to the Boulevard de Magenta. In 2022, the SNCF estimated the annual use of the station at 33 million passengers.

Magenta station is directly connected to the Gare du Nord, with two of the three exits leading to this station. The third exit is located at 5-7 Rue de l'Aqueduc, facing Rue d'Alsace, which is the main pedestrian route between the Gare de l'Est and Gare du Nord.



Gare du Nord – Gare de l'Est link

It is planned to extend the Château-Landon transfer corridor to connect the Gare du Nord, the Magenta station and the Gare de l'Est by 2028. In the meantime, it is only possible to reach the Gare de l'Est from Magenta via the Rue d'Alsace.

There are four tracks that flank two island platforms. They are numbered as tracks 51, 52, 53, and 54. Track 51 is used for trains to Chelles-Gournay station. Track 53 serves Tournan station. Tracks 52 and 54 are always used for service to Haussmann–Saint-Lazare station.
The station was built at a depth of 30 m, under the foundations of the existing old building. Large, spacious, with high and airey ceilings, a complete change from the usual train and metro stations. Its upper access corridors are a mix of polished raw concrete and exotic wood. The building has nine levels and a ground floor. The ninth level is used by SNCF.
The vast volumes of the station as well as the ventilation of the tunnel required the creation of ventilation shafts within the block of buildings built on the surface: for example, at 174 Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis, is a fake building, the façade with trompe-l'oeil windows hiding a ventilation duct of the underground station. In the same street, 162 bis, at the corner of Rue La Fayette, conceals a large ventilation duct emerging behind the building built on the street. The station, built close to groundwater, has suffered leaks since its opening.
