Platform doors can work without putting all the pannel.
Work are now over because all the planned platform doors have been installed.

There are been some exception for the line 1, where they closed a part of the line during some week-ends to heightening of the platforms of some station.

Thanks. Just to be sure about a reaction from someone.

Great read sir.

Hi guys.

Do anyone happen to have data on the length (I mean in time, not distance) between stations? I'm looking for the longest and shortest lengths.

Good candidates I think are Stalingrad/GDN, GDL/Châtelet, GDL/Bastille. And Opera/Havre-Caumartin and Cluny/Maubert.

Thank you!

[Minato ku]

I have longest in distance but in time, I don't know and I don't have any data.
In my opinion the longest, in time, is Bobigny Pablo Picasso to Bobigny-Pantin - Raymond Queneau on line 5.

For the shortest, it is difficult, there are already many debate about what is the shortest interstation in distance.

But through that stretch, the trains tend to go max speed (80 kph) right?

[Minato ku]

The max speed on MF67 is 70km/h and as Bobigny Pablo Picasso is the terminal station, trains tend to slow down before arriving.
It is better to wrote Bobigny-Pantin - Raymond Queneau to Bobigny Pablo Picasso than the oposite way.

Longer than Chatelet - Gare de Lyon on line 14??? Not sure...

If line 6 was converted, I would secretly dream that they merge line 6 and line 2 even if one is rubber tyred and the other one has steel wheels. In order to have a complete circular line. And then close all the stations without connections with the other lines...

In distance, the Châtelet - GDL is longer but maybe not in time as the line 14 run faster than the line 5.

6 will be converted eventually, according to what is on the French Wiki. Line 7 & 13 are also planned for automated conversion in the future.

Perhaps Line 13 may be done next if not Line 4, since PSDs are gradually being installed (1st phase being done).

[WC_EEND]

My guess would be line 4 once they get rid of the MP59s

[HARTride 2012]

That was to be somewhat of the plan, according to the French Wiki. Line 4 was to be converted once Line 1 was complete and the cascading of trains concluded. But costs have delayed the conversion indefinitely. We may not see Line 4 being converted for 5 to 10 years.

[Wuppeltje]

On line 14 are they still using 90 meter long metro's? And are there any metro's at this moment longer than 90 meters?

[Sacré Coeur]

Yep, line 14 still has 90m long trains. No other lines have metros longer than 90m.

[HARTride 2012]

This should change after 2020, when the new MP stock is introduced. They will be 120m (8-car) trains.

Line 14 will then be immersed into the Grand Paris Express.

Next 3 MP 89CC to

#06 - 8/29
#10 - 9/12
#11 - 9/19

Symbioz is temporarily down for the moment. It should be restored soon.
