Gare de Massy TGV - Massy, France - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

[FR] Architecturalement, Massy TGV fait penser à un navire, voguant aussi bien vers la Méditerranée que vers les eaux tumultueuses de l'Atlantique.
Hommage à l'Atlantique, Massy TGV est un navire amarré au port de Massy-Palaiseau. Les quais, au sous-sol, figurent ses cales. Son hall évoque son pont principal. Sa mezzanine figure la proue, tournée vers Paris. Sa marquise de toile, enfin, symbolise les voiles de l'Atlantique.
Ce n'est que progressivement que Massy TGV s'ouvre à toutes les destinations entre 1991 et 1995. Avec l'interconnexion comme raison d'être, Massy TGV, qui n'était à l'origine desservie que par quelques TGV Paris-Province, a vite trouvé sa vocation dans le développement des TGV province-province.
Atlantique-Sud Est d'abord, Atlantique-Nord ensuite et Atlantique-Est enfin. Au fil des ans, les dessertes se sont faites de plus en plus nombreuses.
En 2011, les liaisons Méditerranée sont ouvertes et attirent près de 700 000 voyageurs par an (vers Marseille et Montpellier). En 2007, ce sont les liaisons Est qui sont ouvertes (vers Strasbourg).
En 2008, la gare de Massy TGV connait un tournant en accueillant près de 1,4 millions de voyageurs par an, témoignage du succès de ces liaisons province-province.
En 2012 s'opère une restructuration du pôle intermodal, avec la mise en exploitation d'une passerelle reliant la nouvelle gare RER C, RER B, Massy TGV et les deux gares routières d'Atlantis et Vilmorin.
En 2013, Massy TGV accueille 1,6 millions de voyageurs par an. Fin 2015, de nouvelles perspectives s'offrent à Massy TGV avec l'arrivée des trains OuiGo.
Il a fallu 10 ans pour que Massy TGV connaisse l'essor qui lui était prévu initialement. Mais aujourd'hui, cette gare est devenue l'accès obligatoire au réseau TGV pour tout le sud de l’Île-de-France.

[EN] Architecturally, Massy TGV is reminiscent of a ship, sailing both to the Mediterranean Sea and to the tumultuous waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
Tribute to the Atlantic Ocean, Massy TGV is a ship docked at the port of Massy-Palaiseau. The quays in the basement feature its holds. Its hall evokes its main deck. Its mezzanine is the bow, facing Paris. Her canvas canopy, finally, symbolizes the sails of the Atlantic.
It was only gradually that Massy TGV opened to all destinations between 1991 and 1995. With interconnection as the "raison d'être", Massy TGV, which was originally only served by a few Paris-Province TGVs , quickly found its vocation in the development of TGV province-province.
Atlantic South East first, Atlantic North then and Atlantic East finally. Over the years, the services have become more and more numerous.
In 2011, Mediterranean connections were opened and attracted nearly 700,000 travelers a year (to Marseille and Montpellier). In 2007, the East links were opened (to Strasbourg).
In 2008, the Massy TGV station experienced a turning point, welcoming nearly 1.4 million passengers a year, testimony to the success of these province-province connections.
In 2012, the intermodal hub was restructured, with the operation of a footbridge connecting the new RER C, RER B, Massy TGV station and the two bus stations of Atlantis and Vilmorin.
In 2013, Massy TGV receives 1.6 million passengers per year. At the end of 2015, new perspectives are opening up at Massy TGV with the arrival of OuiGo trains.
It took 10 years for Massy TGV to experience the growth that was initially planned for it. But today, this station has become compulsory access to the TGV network for the entire south of Île-de-France.
