The station

Montérolier-Buchy is now an unmanned station. It has two platforms on either side of two passenger tracks, between which there is a metal footbridge (not handicap-accessible). Numerous sidings lie to the south of the station.

The station is served by TER Haute-Normandie and TER Picardie trains from Rouen to Amiens and Lille. In summer it is also served by TER Haute-Normandie trains linking Rouen to Le Tréport-Mers.

Connections

Montérolier-Buchy is the terminus for two branch lines:

  • To Saint-Saëns: a 10.2 km shuttle local line closed in 1953 and since dismantled.
  • To Motteville (freight only)
  • History

    The station was heavily bombed during the Second World War, because it controlled a junction and the Amiens - Rouen line was of great importance to the German Army.

    A plaque placed on the station forecourt commemorates the existence there from April to June 1945 of a reception station for deportees, prisoners and returning French obligatory workers being repatriated from Nazi Germany.
