History
The railway line from Marseille reached Monaco in 1868. The station, originally named Monaco (Gare de Monaco), was renamed Monaco-Monte Carlo in the 1950s, after the building of a new tunnel bypassing a second SNCF station named Monte Carlo.
In the early 1990s, it was decided to re-route the railway underground and build a new station. Construction commenced in 1993, and the new station opened on 7 December 1999. This comprises a curved tunnel 466 metres in length, 22 metres wide and 13 metres in height. There are three tracks through the station, accessed from a side platform on the south side, and an island platform between the two tracks to the north.
Train services
The majority of trains serving Monaco-Monte-Carlo are local TER Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur services between Marseille-Saint-Charles and Ventimiglia, just inside the French-Italian border. There are also a small number of TGV services from Paris-Gare de Lyon.
The station is served by the following services:
