Charles de Gaulle (Roissy) Terminal 1, tracks 22 and 24

This is the underground platform for rail passengers travelling from the Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle airport (Terminal 1) to central Paris via Stade de France.  Some trains go directly from CDG T1 to Paris Gare du Nord, others will stop at Villepinte, Stade de France, and many others.  As such, it is important to note the four-letter destination codes for trains and where they will call at.

Note the escalators go downwards to the southbound platform tracks 22 and 24 from the mezzanine (where one must buy a ticket and pass through the barrier gates).  The other tracks, 21 and 23 are used for alighting (deboarding) only and the escalator goes up only, making it difficult to go from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 (there is a free bus service between the terminals).

Taken sometime late May 1997.
