Gare de sarreguemines
The Gare de Sarreguemines is a railway station near the French/German border on the Haguenau–Hargarten-Falck and the Saarbrücken–Sarreguemines lines, located in the town of Sarreguemines in the French department of Moselle.
Contents
It was opened in 1865 by the Chemins de fer de l'Est. It is now a station of the SNCF, served by regional express trains of the TER Lorraine and the TER Alsace. The border station is served by regional services running between Saarbrücken and Strasbourg. It is also served by the Saarbahn tram-train service.
Location
The junction station of Sarreguemines is at an altitude of 202 metres and located at the kilometre point of 84.025 on the Haguenau–Hargarten-Falck line between the stations of Wœlfling-lès-Sarreguemines and Hundling. The railway junction is the beginning of the Saarbrücken–Sarreguemines line, which connects to the German network, and the end of the Mommenheim–Sarreguemines railway.
It is the only French station electrified with a non-French electrical system (15 kV, 16.7 Hz AC of Deutsche Bahn) and not connected by overhead wires to the rest of the national rail network. This situation is the result of its use by the services of the Saarbahn.
History
Sarreguemines station was opened on 16 December 1865 by the Chemins de fer de l'Est along with the section of the railway from Béning to Sarreguemines and the siding to the Sarreguemines pottery. It was officially inaugurated a few days earlier, on 2 December, with "a large crowd" to greet the official train when it arrived next to the temporary wooden building.
Passenger services
The station building has a ticket office, which is open daily. It is equipped with tickets machines for rail travel and for the Saarbahn tram-train.
Services
Sarreguemines is served by TER Lorraine trains operating on lines: 17 (Béning–Sarreguemines), 18 (Sarreguemines–Sarre-Union–Sarrebourg) and 20 (Strasbourg–Sarreguemines–Saarbrücken).
It is also served by the tram-trains on line S1 (currently the only line) of the Saarbahn (Heusweiler Markt–Saarbrücken–Sarreguemines).
The Sarreguemines–Bitche line has had a substitute road service since 18 December 2011 following land subsidence and then performance that did not meet the expectation of the Regional Council of Lorraine.
Other modes
The station has a car park. It is served by city buses operated by CABUS and coaches operated by TER Lorraine, TER Alsace and the network of Transports Interurbains de la Moselle (TIM).
