RER D terminus at Paris Gare de Lyon surface platforms

Due to works in the tunnels between Gare du Lyon and Gare de Nord (renewal of 40 switches), the RER D is separated into two parts with no train interconnecting between the southeastern and northern suburbs. (Northern service are terminating at Gare du Nord surface platforms).

Even with a reduced service, Gare de Lyon is struggling to cope with the situation. Before 1980, suburban trains terminated on the surface platforms of the Gare de Lyon and then were moved to underground platforms were to free up space for the TGV and increase capacity. Since then suburban traffic has greatly increased.

In any case, it's amusing to see the RER sharing the same platform as the TGV.
