What's the traffic situation on the Transilien R line today? Between roadworks, incidents, industrial action, cancelled trains, closed stations, strikes and demonstrations, many factors are causing disruption on the line. We take stock!
Introduced into service in its current form at the end of 2004, the Transilien R line runs between Paris-Gare-de-Lyon and the termini of Montereau and Montargis, serving several major towns in the Seine-et-Marne and Loiret regions. The 164-kilometer line crosses a large part of southeastern Paris, linking the capital with the rapidly changing suburbs.
Part of the Transilien network operated by SNCF, this line is based on a long-standing railway infrastructure. The first section between Melun and Montereau, via Moret-Veneux-les-Sablons, was inaugurated on January 3, 1849, followed a few months later, on August 12, 1849, by the section linking Paris directly to Melun. The extension to Montargis was opened on August 14, 1860, marking the completion of the historic route now used by the R line.
In all, the line serves 24 stations, spread over an area of 32 communes. It mainly crosses the Seine-et-Marne département, with stops in major towns such as Melun, Fontainebleau-Avon, Moret-Loing-et-Orvanne and Montereau-Fault-Yonne. Its extension to Montargis takes it beyond the borders of the Île-de-France region to also serve the Loiret, in the Centre-Val de Loire region.
Initially known as line K under the old SNCF naming system, it officially became line R when the Transilien network was overhauled at the end of 2004. Since then, it has played a strategic role in daily commuting for many Parisians and Loirétains, ensuring territorial continuity between the inner suburbs and the capital.
