The new station, Aeroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV, opened on 24 November 1994. In 1991, airport managers and the Syndicat des transports Parisiens (the regional transit planning agency, now known as Île-de-France Mobilités ) begin a project to connect the terminals and rail stations with an automated rail shuttle service.
The construction of a suburban line along the LGV between Villeparisis and Vémars is under consideration. This project could have two possible purposes: to serve Roissy airport from Paris (as an alternative to the CDG Express); or to be the beginning of a western line linking Creil to Meaux, Marne-la-Vallée and Melun.
The closest station to Roissy-en-France is Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 station on line B of the RER, Paris Region's express suburban rail system. This station is located inside the airport, on the part of the airport belonging to the commune of Tremblay-en-France, 3 km (1.9 mi) from the town center of Roissy-en-France.
CDGVAL is a free shuttle rail service at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), using the VAL (English: automatic light vehicle) driverless, rubber-tyred people mover technology. The first line, which connects the three airport terminals, train stations, and parking lots, opened on 4 April 2007.
The line has far exceeded all traffic expectations, with passengers taking 165 million journeys per year in 2004. That makes the RER B the second busiest single rail line in Europe (after RER A). The line faces capacity challenges as a result of sharing a tunnel with RER D trains between Châtelet–Les Halles and Gare du Nord.
