In my opinion, it is Bobigny - Pantin - Raymond Queneau on line 5.
This station is made of a single narrow island platform.


Boulogne Jean Jaures on line 10 is also quite narrow.

Gambetta
It is an other narrow station, southern last stop of the tiny line 3bis.

You actually inspired me to do a tube platform a day on the London thread. Thanks!

I noticed it.
______________________________________

As you may know the line 3bis was a part of the line 3 in the past.
The line 3 was diverted to the eastern inner of suburb of Bagnolet and the former part of the line to Porte des Lilas was separted into single short line (with 4 stations).

Line 3bis Gambetta platform is the original station of the line 3.
The actual platform of the line 3 opened in 1969 by absorbing the former Martin Nadau station and the tunnel between.
The distance between Martin Nadau and Gambetta was one of the shortest of the network.

Gambetta
The transfer to the line 3bis platform before it was the tunnel used by trains.

The remodel of the Line 3 platform makes the station look neat and modern.

Gambetta has very a very nice lightening scheme.

...but a bit too dark in my opinion
A good news, announcements on the MP05 are back to the old version. See post #3134

According to Symbioz, only 17 MP 59 trains left...

If RATP keeps up the pace of at least 2 transfers per month from October, onward, I can see the MP 59 completely being phased out by April, 2013.

On Line 4 at least, don't they also still run on line 11?

edit: French wiki says that the MP59s should be all gone from Line 4 by the end of 2012.

It can change depending what happens on Line 1 with the MP 05.

The next three scheduled transfers are as follows:

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

This is the info from the Symbioz forum, not sure if there will be a third transfer in September.

Currently there are 30 MP 89CC against 16 MP 59. If October, November, and December have 3 transfers of MP 89CC, the number would increase to 42 MP 89CC by the start of 2013. The MP 59 count would decrease to 8.

Of course, this is all provisional...

--------------------------------

The MP 59 will remain on Line 11, as they are the newer group of trains that were manufactured during the latter 1960s. The trains on Line 4 are the oldest, from 1963 through 1966.

The replacement of the MP 59 is unknown at this time and will be dependent on whether the RATP & STIF decide whether the line remains rubber tyred or not.

Sprague are forbidden to run for passengers traffic in Paris metro.
So, no Sprague run recently.
