The Gare d'Eu (Eu station) is a railway station in the commune of Eu in the Seine-Maritime department, France, in Normandy.
It is the main station for Eu; the former Eu-la Mouillette was better located but served by only one rail line.
History
[edit]The station was previously called Gare d'Eu-La Chaussée or simply Gare de la Chaussée. It was opened by the Nord company on 11 May 1872 as part of the line between Longroy-Gamaches and Le Tréport-Mers. From 4 December 1888 when the line between Abbeville and Eu was opened,[1] it was a transfer point for passengers travelling towards Dieppe. The line between Eu and Dieppe was closed on 2 October 1938 and has been partly turned into a footpath: le chemin vert du Petit Caux (Petit-Caux greenway).[2]
The station was also the terminus of a tramway which operated from 1902 to 1934 between Eu, Le Tréport and Mers-les-Bains, the tramway d'Eu-Le Tréport-Mers.
The SNCF sold the station to a private individual; today it is an unmanned stop with only an automatic ticket dispenser.[citation needed] Train services to Abbeville were discontinued in 2018.[3]
Rail service
[edit]The Gare d'Eu is at the junction of the Abbeville–Eu line and the Épinay–Le Tréport line.
It is served by TER Hauts-de-France trains from Le Tréport-Mers to Beauvais.[4]
Service is with ATER X 73500, XGC and on occasion modernised X 4630 railcars.[citation needed]
