The extension of the RER E will serve the station from 2022, thereby relieving line A. The Grand Paris Express will also stop at this station. From 2030, the planned high-speed routes to Normandy and LGV Picardy will be routed via the station, so that the station would become an important long-distance station in the west of Paris.
