This first station was demolished around 1934 and was replaced by the present Pont-Gare built on the plans of the architect Jean Philippot, who planned for passengers from both cities to have access from both sides. Vanves and Malakoff therefore each have their own entrance.
This line was electrified in 1937.
The new passenger building is part of the 20th century railway architectural heritage
