The RER E is one of the five lines in the RER Rapid transit system serving Paris, France.

[edit] Current route

The line runs from Haussmann St-Lazare (E1) to Chelles Gournay (E2) and Tournan (E4)

• First inauguration : 1999
• Length : 52.3 km (32.5 miles)
• Number of stops : 21

Line E runs from Haussmann - St-Lazare via Magenta (serving Gare de l'Est and Gare du Nord) to the north-eastern suburbs. It was originally referred to as the EOLE, or Est Ouest Ligne Express.

The line's construction leaves Gare Montparnasse as the only mainline terminus in Paris not directly connected to the RER system, the Montparnasse main line being connected to the RER at Versailles-Chantiers and the LGV Atlantique at Massy Palaiseau .
