New plans for the redevelopment of Paris Gare du Nord, Europe’s busiest train station, have been unveiled.
The redevelopment will take place in two phases, lasting until 2023. The first phase will be a refurbishment of platforms for the RER, Paris’s commuter rail network that provides 80 per cent of the station’s traffic.
The main concourse will also be redesigned to cope better with the number of passengers, which is expected to increase by 20 per cent with the introduction of new trains.
