Saint-Pierre-des-Corps station (French: Gare de Saint-Pierre-des-Corps) is a railway station serving the town of Saint-Pierre-des-Corps and the Tours agglomeration, Indre-et-Loire department, western France. It is situated on the Paris–Bordeaux railway and the Tours–Saint-Nazaire railway.

History

[edit]

Given its strategic position on the Loire, the entire Tours / Saint-Pierre-des-Corps railway complex was the target of bombing during the Second World War. In 1990 the passenger building, which by then no longer existed, was rebuilt following the opening of the LGV Atlantique, to accommodate TGV and Aqualys from 2001. This latter service is still provided, but was re-marketed as the Intercités brand.

In 2018, SNCF estimated annual usage of this station is 3,457,033 passengers and if non-passengers are included it rises to 4,321,292.[1]
