RER E is one of the five lines in the Réseau Express Régional (English: Regional Express Network), a hybrid commuter rail and rapid transit system serving Paris and its suburbs. The 60-kilometre (37 mi) line travels between western and eastern suburbs, with all trains serving the stations in central Paris, before branching out towards the ends of the line.
The line runs from the western terminus Nanterre–La Folie (E1) to the eastern termini Chelles–Gournay (E2) and Tournan (E4). It is operated by SNCF.
Originally referred to as the Est Ouest Liaison Express or EOLE (English: East West Express Link), RER E is the newest RER line in the system, opening in 1999. An extension to Tournan opened in 2003. The first phase of a western extension opened on 6 May 2024, extending the line to Nanterre–La Folie, with a further extension to Mantes-la-Jolie under construction and planned to open in 2026.[2]
