Line 11 of the subway of Paris

The line 11 of the subway of Paris is a line of the underground railway network of Paris, one of the last to be brought into service. It connects the center of the capital to the north-eastern outskirts of the city.

History

December 29th 1922: the municipal council of Paris votes the creation of a line allowing to replace the Funiculaire Belleville, in the North-East, and to join the Quartier of Châtelet, in the center of the city.
April 28th 1935: inauguration of the section Châtelet - Door of the Lilacs.
February 17th 1937: prolongation in the North-East until Town hall of the Lilacs.

Material

Line 11 is equipped with oars of the type MP 59 coming from line 4 since 1999, before, the oars MP 55, specific to line 11, were on the line. First run train on tire manufactured in series, MP 55 ran on line 11 between October 1957 and January 1999.

Current MP 59, just like MP 55 of the time, are composed of 4 cars (M-A-N-M), except for an oar of composition M-AB-N-M (M.3168 - AB.5545 - N.4044 - M.3167).

the overall length of line 11 is of 6,286 km. Except the two lines 3bis and 7bis, it is about the shortest line of the Parisian network.
the station Télégraphe is one of deepest of Paris and is located at 20 m in lower part of the ground. The entry of this station is indeed located at a few tens of meters of the culminating point of the public highway in Paris.
the station Arts and Métiers, drawn by François Schuiten, was entirely covered with plates of Cuivre which give him an air of Sous-marin.

The material of line 11 is maintained by the workshops the Lilacs. They are connected on the ways to the terminus of Town hall of the Lilacs.

Connections

The line 11 is characterized by the fact that it does not have that only one connection with the remainder of the network. It is located on the way direction Mairie of the Lilacs towards the line 3, between the stations Rambuteau and Arts and Métiers, at a peak.

A connection with the line 1 at the station Town hall was planned to facilitate the transit of the materials tire. It built forever.

Projects

The municipalities of Romainville, Noisy-the-Dryness, Montreuil and Rosny-sous-Bois as well as the general advice of the Seine-Saint-Denis proposed a project of extension of the line after Mairie of the Lilacs until the Rosny - Wood-Perrier, which would allow an interconnection with the RER E as well as the service road from Paris of the Shopping mall Rosny 2. One of the new stations, Place Carnot, which would be located at Romainville, would also ensure an interconnection with the future extension of the tram T1 the south.

The area included this project in the preliminary draft of SDRIF presented in February 2007. The line must thus be prolonged in Montreuil Hôpital between 2007 and 2013, then with Rosny - Wood-Perrier between 2014 to 2020. The project of CPER 2007-2013 provides to free that appropriations of study for the prolongation of the line, launching the project officially.
