TheGare de la Part-Dieu (French pronunciation:[ɡaʁd(ə)lapaʁdjø];lit. "Property of God railway station") orLyon-Part-Dieu is the primaryrailway station ofLyon, France, located in itsLa Part-Dieu business district. It is on the historicalParis–Marseille railway. Train services are mainly operated by theSNCF with frequentTGV high-speed andTER regional services as well asIntercités,Frecciarossa,AVE andLyria services. Lyon's second railway station,Perrache station, is located in the south of the historical centre.
Originally opened in 1859 as a freight station,[2] the station was constructed in 1978 as part of the newPart-Dieu urban neighborhood project. As the planners intended Part-Dieu to act as a second city center for Lyon, the large train station was built in conjunction with a shopping center (the largest in France), a major government office complex, and the tallestskyscraper in the region, nicknamedLe Crayon (The Pencil) due to its shape. Before the construction of the Gare de la Part-Dieu, the neighborhood was served by theGare des Brotteaux. It closed in 1982 and its operations were absorbed into this station.
In spring 2018, major reconstruction and refurbishment works began to rebuild the entire station and its near surroundings by 2022.[3] As of December 2018, the former entrance building has been already partly torn down.
Lyon-Part-Dieu is the busiest French train station outside ofÎle-de-France. The station has significantly surpassed its initial traffic expectations, from a moderate 35,000 passengers a day in 1983 to 80,000 passengers on 500 trains a day in 2001. Because of the increased traffic, the station was renovated from 1995–2001 to increase the number of platforms and alter the exterior. In 2010, the station served roughly 51.1 million passengers, approaching 140,000 for an average weekday.
