Ascq station

Ascq station (French: Gare d'Ascq) is a railway station serving the former village of Ascq, now part of Villeneuve-d'Ascq city, Nord department, northern France.

Ascq was linked to Lille with the construction of the railway station in 1865, and in 1885 to Roubaix.

During the Second World War, numerous trains went through Ascq and members of the resistance regularly committed acts of sabotage.

In the late 1990s, before the construction of a new Belgian high-speed railway line, Eurostar and Thalys trains going to Belgium went through Ascq station.

The station is served by regional trains to Lille and Tournai (Belgium), and buses to Orchies.
