The station building is situated above the track level alongside Rue Cardinet. The station is equipped with escalators and Solari destination boards.
The main line continues towards Clichy whilst a small line, now closed, branches off towards Pereire–Levallois and links St Lazare to RER C, this branch was once part of Ligne d'Auteuil and closed in June 1996. Today, there are shuttle buses connecting Pereire–Levallois on RER C. Since December 2020, the station is also connected to Line 14 of the Paris Métro with the construction of the Pont Cardinet Métro station.
History
Originally named Batignolles station (French: Gare des Batignolles), the station opened on 2 May 1854, along with the Auteuil railway.
Trivia
Pont Cardinet is the only SNCF station in the commune of Paris (intra muros) that is not also either a terminus or an RER station.
