The '''Gare de la Part-Dieu''' ({{IPA|fr|ɡaʁ d(ə) la paʁdjø}}; {{literal translation}} "God's share 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 TER regional services as well as Intercités, Frecciarossa, AVE and Lyria services. Lyon's second railway station, Perrache station, is located in the south of the historical centre.
==History== 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 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.
In spring 2018, major reconstruction and refurbishment works began to rebuild the entire station and its near surroundings.<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> The original main entrance building located on the western side was torn down starting that year. 2022 saw the entry into service of a new Platform L<ref>{{cite press release |title=Nouvelle voie L à Lyon Part-Dieu : une étape structurante pour l’étoile ferroviaire |url=https://www.sncf-reseau.com/fr/a/nouvelle-voie-l-lyon-part-dieu-une-etape-structurante-pour-letoile-ferroviaire |publisher=SNCF Réseau |access-date=7 December 2025 |language=fr |date=18 October 2022}}</ref> and an additional transverse hall (Galerie Pompidou / Hall 2) to access the platforms.<ref>{{cite news |title=Lyon : inauguration d'une nouvelle galerie à la gare Part-Dieu |url=https://www.lyonmag.com/article/126809/lyon-inauguration-d-une-nouvelle-galerie-a-la-gare-part-dieu |work={{interlanguage|LyonMag|fr}} |date=9 November 2022 |language=fr-FR}}</ref> Then followed the openings of a number of spaces on the western side: A new entrance building and hall, Galerie Béraudier, in June 2024;<ref>{{cite news |last1=Zuili |first1=Théo |title=Lyon Part-Dieu.

==Traffic== Lyon-Part-Dieu is the busiest French train station outside of Île-de-France and according to the SNCF, the leading European station in terms of the number of connecting passengers.<ref>{{in lang|fr}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20111127015152/http://sncf.com/fr_FR/html/media/CH0004-Vie-pratique/BR1124-Une-11e-voie-a-Lyon-Part-Dieu/MD0005_20101207-Une-11e-voie-a-Lyon-Part-Dieu.html. Une 11e voie à Lyon Part-Dieu]</ref> 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.
