{{Lyon transport}}
The '''Gare de la Part-Dieu''' ({{IPA|fr|ɡaʁ d(ə) la paʁdjø}}; {{literal translation}} "Property of God railway station") or '''Lyon-Part-Dieu''' is the primary [[railway station]] of [[Lyon]], France, located in its [[La Part-Dieu]] business district. It is on the historical [[Paris–Marseille railway]]. Train services are mainly operated by the [[SNCF]] with frequent [[TGV]] high-speed and [[Transport express régional|TER]] regional services as well as [[Intercités]], [[Frecciarossa]], [[AVE]] and [[TGV Lyria|Lyria]] services. Lyon's second railway station, [[Lyon-Perrache station|Perrache station]], is located in the south of the historical centre.
==History==
[[File:Trenitalia, voie I, Gare de Lyon-Part-Dieu.jpg|thumb|Platform I at Lyon-Part-Dieu]]
[[File:Hall_gare_Lyon-Part-Dieu.JPG|thumb|Interior of the station]]
Originally opened in 1859 as a freight station,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ferro-lyon.net/trains/gares-depots-triages/426-Lyon-Part-Dieu |title=Lyon-Part-Dieu (in french) |access-date=26 June 2020 }}</ref> the station was constructed in 1978 as part of the new [[Part-Dieu]] urban neighborhood project. As the planners intended Part-Dieu to act as a second city center for Lyon, the large train station was built in conjunction with a shopping center (the largest in France), a major government office complex, and the tallest [[skyscraper]] in the region, nicknamed [[Tour du Crédit Lyonnais|Le Crayon (The Pencil)]] due to its shape. Before the construction of the Gare de la Part-Dieu, the neighborhood was served by the [[Gare des Brotteaux]]. It closed in 1982 and its operations were absorbed into this station.
Lyon-Part-Dieu is the busiest French train station outside of [[Île-de-France]].  There are five other stations operating within the city limits: [[Lyon-Perrache station|Perrache]] (in [[Presqu'ile|the city center]]), [[Lyon-Vaise station|Vaise]], [[Lyon-Saint-Paul station|Saint-Paul]], [[Lyon-Gorge-de-Loup station|Gorge de Loup]], and [[Lyon-Jean Macé station|Jean Macé]]. The [[Rhônexpress]] tram connects Lyon-Part-Dieu to [[Lyon–Saint-Exupéry Airport]], located in [[Colombier-Saugnieu]], whose [[Lyon-Saint-Exupéry TGV station|train station]] is only served by the high-speed train network.
In spring 2018, major reconstruction and refurbishment works began to rebuild the entire station and its near surroundings by 2022.<ref>[https://thisislyon.fr/news/part-dieu-neighborhood-construction-2022/ thisislyon.fr - Closing of Avenue Pompidou Marks Beginning of Major Works] 5 March 2018</ref> As of December 2018, the former entrance building has been already partly torn down.
==Traffic==
The station has significantly surpassed its initial traffic expectations, from a moderate 35,000 passengers a day in 1983 to 80,000 passengers on 500 trains a day in 2001. Because of the increased traffic, the station was renovated from 1995–2001 to increase the number of platforms and alter the exterior. In 2010, the station served roughly 51.1 million passengers, approaching 140,000 for an average weekday.
==Local transportation==
Lyon Part-Dieu has direct access to the [[Lyon Metro]] ([[Lyon Metro Line B|line B]]) and [[Tramways in Lyon|tramways]] T1, T3, and T4. Part-Dieu is also connected to [[Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport]] and [[Lyon-Saint-Exupéry TGV station|TGV station]] via the dedicated [[Rhônexpress]] [[airport rail link]].
==Rail connections==
Part-Dieu is a significant railway hub, connected to the French ([[SNCF]]) and international rail networks. From the many lines that run through Lyon, Part-Dieu is directly connected to [[Paris]], [[Marseille]], [[Valence, Drôme|Valence]], [[Saint-Étienne]], [[Nice]], [[Montpellier]], [[Perpignan]], [[Barcelona]], [[Rouen]], [[Charles de Gaulle Airport|Roissy]], [[Lille]], [[Brussels]], [[Geneva]], [[Tours]], [[Mulhouse]], [[Belfort]], [[Metz]], [[Strasbourg]], [[Nantes]], [[Rennes]], [[Grenoble]], [[Avignon]], [[Aix-en-Provence]], [[Le Havre]], [[Le Mans]], [[Karlsruhe]], [[Frankfurt]], [[Milan]], [[Turin]], [[St Pancras railway station|London]]. Part-Dieu also has connections to Paris [[Charles de Gaulle Airport]] (CDG) by TGV and has been assigned the "XYD" [[IATA airport code|airport code]]. The SNCF offers connection services to CDG called [[TGV Air]], under [[code sharing]] agreements with many airlines.
