the station of Luc-on-Sea was served by the Ligne of Caen to the sea, coming from the Gare of Caen Saint Martin's day and bound for the Gare of Courseulles-on-Sea. This line was exploited by the Railroad company of Caen to the sea.

History

The station was open as from 1875, at the same time as the line, and was the terminus. In July of the following year it profited from the extension of this line until Courseulles-on-Sea. As from 1900, the station of Luc was stopped at moreover by the narrow-gauge line of the Railroads of the Apple-brandy which came from the Gare of Caen Saint-Pierre, via Ouistreham in direction of Courseulles then of Bayeux. For this purpose, a third rail equipped the way between Luc and Courseulles. In the years 1930, non-stop trains Paris-Courseulles were used by the Compagnie of the state railways and thus passed to Luc-on-Sea. Penalized by the obsolescence of its rolling stock and competed with by the development of the car, the line was closed in 1950.
