History
Opened	20 September 1840

Juvisy is a railway station in Juvisy-sur-Orge, Essonne, Île-de-France, France.^[2] The station was opened in 1840 and is on the Paris–Bordeaux railway, Villeneuve-Saint-Georges-Montargis railway and Grande Ceinture line, a freight railway around Paris. The station is served by Paris' express suburban rail system, the RER Line C and RER Line D. The train services are operated by SNCF. A TGV high-speed service also serves the station. During a survey in 2015, the station served 33,426,629 passengers in that year.^[3]

On 17 September 1840, the Paris to Orléans Railway Company (Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans, or PO) inaugurated the line from Paris-Austerlitz to Corbeil, following the left bank of the Seine. The presence of numerous mills along the Essonne River in Corbeil and the abundance of grain warehouses in the area justified the development of this route. Opened in 1843 by the Paris to Orléans Railway Company, the station became a shared facility in the early 1860s, serving both the PO and the Paris to Lyon and Mediterranean Railway Company (Compagnie des chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée, or PLM), with the addition of a goods station. In the 1880s, services on the Paris Grande Ceinture line were introduced, necessitating the opening of the Juvisy marshalling yard. During the first half of the 20th century, passenger and freight traffic continued to increase until the marshalling yard was destroyed by bombings in 1944. Subsequently, passenger traffic surpassed freight, leading to the closure of the marshalling yard in 1986. A project to redevelop the passenger station emerged at the beginning of the 21st century. From 2014 to 2019, the station received 97 million euros for restructuring works and to create an intermodal hub to facilitate transport changes in the station between the train lines and the 28 bus lines for their 70,000 travelers every day.^[4][5][6]

In 2018, according to SNCF estimates, the station's annual attendance was 41,423,348, placing it as the seventh station in France in terms of number of passengers, and the number one station in France outside of intramural Paris; it is notably ahead of the Paris-Est and Lyon-Part-Dieu stations.^[7]
