In 2000,[3] a contract between the State and the Île-de-France region organised the expansion of RER E from Villiers-sur-Marne to Tournan. On 14 February 2002, the STIF board of directors approves of the pilot. On 14 December 2003, the line is cut from its historical network to Paris-Est, and linked with RER E leading to Haussmann–Saint-Lazare.

Facilities improve accessibility to people with limited mobility. Screens on the platforms show real time information.
