France: RER B commuter train line to be suspended August 12-13

Event

The Paris commuter train RER B, the main rail line between the center of Paris and Charles-de-Gaulle International Airport (CDG), will not stop between Gare-du-Nord and Aulnay-sous-Bois stations on Saturday, August 12, through to Sunday, August 13, due to construction works. 

Additionally, RER B train services will be suspended between Châtelet-Les-Halles and Aulnay-sous-Bois starting 22:30 (local time) on Saturday, August 12, until the last train of the day.

Train station Stade de France-Saint-Denis will be accessible via the commuter train RER D and additional substitute buses will be made available thereon, serving at all subsequent RER B stops in both directions.

Delays on the RER B line of between 20 and 80 minutes are expected.

Context

As a reminder, the commuter train RER A is closed for most of summer 2017, from July 28 through August 25.

Advice

Travelers using the RER B line are advised to allow for extra time for journeys and to plan alternative routes.
