The Gare d'Eu (Eu station) is a railway station located in the commune of Eu in the Seine-Maritime department, France, in the region of Upper Normandy.

It is the main station for Eu; the Gare d'Eu-la Mouillette is better located but served by only one rail line.

History

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.

Rail service

The Gare d'Eu is at the junction of the Abbeville - Eu line and the Épinay - Le Tréport line.

It is served by TER Picardie trains from Le Tréport-Mers to Beauvais and Abbeville. On Sundays it is also served by a Corail train link to Paris Nord.[3]

In high season (from mid-June to the beginning of September), TER Haute-Normandie express trains run on weekends and public holidays from Rouen and TER Picardie trains from Amiens on Sundays and public holidays.

Service is with ATER X 73500, XGC and on occasion modernised X 4630 railcars.
