The station is named for the town in which it is located, in the eastern suburbs of Paris. It comprises two tracks – one going towards Paris, the other towards Marne-la-Vallée and Disneyland Paris. The station contains a help desk, an automated ticket-vending machine, and a baker's shop. The tracks are on an elevated level; lifts provide access for wheelchair users.
The station is on the very edge of Bry-sur-Marne, close to the town of Noisy-le-Grand, thus making it also the closest available station for residents in parts of that town.
As of 2019[update], the estimated annual attendance by the RATP Group was 2,450,013 passengers.[2]
RER A
On the A line, Bry-sur-Marne is located on branch A4, leading to the Marne-la-Vallée station, and thus connecting Paris both to parts of the western suburbs and to Disneyland Paris (which is in fact well outside Paris).
As it is a fairly small town, Bry-sur-Marne is one station (along with neighbouring Neuilly-Plaisance) where trains do not systematically stop, in either direction.[3] Complaints by residents, requesting systematic stops at the station, have become something of a local issue, acknowledged by the mayor.[4]
