Ozoir-la-Ferrière is a French railway station located in Ozoir-la-Ferrière, in Seine-et-Marne département, in Île-de-France region.

Location

The station is situated at kilometric point 34.207 of Paris-Mulhouse railway. Its altitude is 111 m.

History

The Chemins de fer de l'Est company put into service Ozoir-la-Ferrière station on February 9th 1857, as the section from Nogent - Le Perreux to Nangis opened to commercial service. The section originally opened with a single track, until a second one was put into service on April 23th. The next section, from Nangis to Flamboin, opened on April 25th 1857.[1]

The former Ozoir station was located halfway between Roissy-en-Brie and the current station, on Roissy commune. The new station was inaugurated on September 30th 1984.[2]

In 2000,[3] a contract between the state and the Ile-de-France region organized the expansion of the RER E from Villiers-sur-Marne to Tournan. On February 14, 2002, the STIF board of directors approved the pilot program. On December 14, 2003, the line was cut from its historical network to Paris Est, and linked with RER E leading to Haussmann - Saint Lazare underground station. The integration modified journeys and timetables, and improved services at the station.

Platforms were raised from 0.55 meters (1.80 ft) to 0.92 meters (3.02 ft), to facilitate access to the carriages. Facilities improved accessibility to people with limited mobility. Screens on the platforms show real time information.

According to SNCF figures, in 2014, 2,143,800 passengers entered Ozoir station.[4]
