Given its strategic position on the Loire, the entire Tours / Saint-Pierre-des-Corps railway complex was the target of bombing during the Second World War.

In 1990 the passenger building, which by then no longer existed, was rebuilt following the opening of the LGV Atlantique, to accommodate TGV and Aqualys from 2001.

However, the waiting room is located on the central and main platform, which makes it necessary to leave the station and to enter it.

Until 2007 the station also included a marshalling yard, on a large site that extended all the way to the neighbouring commune of La Ville-aux-Dames.
