Route

The Roissy–Picardie Link will link the LGV Interconnexion Est, at Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV station, to Survilliers-Fosses station on a regional railway line heading north towards Creil. This would allow direct rail connections between Charles de Gaulle Airport and towns to the north.^[4]^[5] The link will be 6.5 km (4.0 mi) long, electrified, and with a speed limit of 160 km/h (99 mph).^[6] Construction will include upgrades to Survilliers-Fosses station and the building of a new platform at Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV.^[6]

The link will be used by a twice-daily TGV to Amiens stopping at Creil (one from Marseille and one from Strasbourg) as well as 3 daily regional trains (TER) on the same route.^[6] The new 17 daily TER connection to Compiègne via Creil are also planned.^[6] The new line will cut around 40 mins on all of these trips.^[7]

Around 4 million daily passengers are expected, of which 2/3 would be everyday travelers.^[8] It is estimated that the new line will lead to 100,000 car trips to the airport instead being done by train every year, saving around 517, 000 tonnes of CO₂ over 40 years.^[9]^[7]
