Which French cities have the best suburban rail network, aside from Paris?

***Minato ku*** · May 6th, 2011, 10:31 AM

Outside Paris there isn't any real suburban rail network. It is regional network that cover a whole Region (TER).
The best is the Rhones Alpes TER where is located the city of Lyon.

There are suburban networks, but they are all include in the regional networks. Some lines are only suburban lines (for example : western lyon lines), some are both regional and suburban (Lyon-Ambérieu line that is suburban but which some stations are served by IC trains to Geneva).
Minato ku is right, Lyon is certainly the best system with many lines, but Lille is not bad at all too.

Are the tram-train proposals for Lyon and Lille ways to add suburban rail to those cities on the cheap?

thib8500 · May 10th, 2011, 06:13 AM

Tram-trains in Lyon will be an improvement of existing lines on which x73500 diesel trains run now.

New longitudinal seating on the lines A, B and D

New ATO system for the line B, the line will become driverless by 2013.

As I heard the line A will become driverless by 2017 and the line D is already driverless.

Has there been any news about urban transport developments in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Reunion?

LtBk · July 18th, 2011, 07:58 AM

Does the Lille Metro and Tram have digital countdown displays?

I have a question about parking at a station in Marseille and taking the metro...what would be the best station to park at coming from Cassis (southeast of the city)? Are the parking lots free?

Bordeaux tram ridership are grossely overstated.
There were 60 million tram journey in 2010, the same year Paris had 108 million tram journey.
I don't get how they can have a higher daily ridership than Paris if there have 1.8 time less traffic.
Add to this fact that transfer are counted as two journeys in Bordeaux while Paris tram line are hardly connected, so there are very few transfer between tram.

Rouen tram

Axelferis · February 12th, 2013, 05:09 PM

They changed the ancient rolling stock in Rouen i notice.

Lille will upgrade the stock of cars to double their size on L1 in 2015.
1/the quays will be redone(size) on all the 18 stations of the line 1
2/The new manufacturer has been chosen ant now it's Alstom. the former cars was made by Siemens which replies by a justice action to cancel the Alstom' victory
3/The new cars will be "snake style"(without separation between cars like L14 Paris)+the double size in lenght than actual

What about the... funding???

OK, I'm teasing you, so take it easy! Anyway, I have to admit that all this doesn't look bad at all and I'd add..."better late than never" if you see what I mean...

Yes, the new tram Citadis 402 stock has a bigger capacity than the TSF.
It will help to cope better with the traffic.

Notice that the cost is 500 millions € (new cars + renovation of stations)
All will be ready for Euro 2016 then

to enable europeans to go to a modern stadium with a modern metro

@minato: the 208 rolling stock will be used on the line 2.

And they start the refurbishment of tramway. I will try to take pics the next spring if it runs.
