Tramways in Île-de-France
The French region of Île-de-France, encompassing the capital city of Paris, currently has nine operational modern tramlines (French: Tramways d'Île-de-France) – if counting Lines 3a and 3b as separate lines – and is planning additional lines. Of the existing lines, seven are operated by its public transport authority, RATP, which also operates the Paris Métro and most bus services. One line (T4) is operated the French national rail operator SNCF. Three of the lines serve Paris. The eight lines are generally unconnected, although connections between lines T2 and T3a, and T3a and T3b, already exist, with additional connections between lines T1 and T5 opened in 2013 and between lines T1 and T8 opened in 2014; however, the final design of the entire planned tram network is fairly integrated.
History
From 1855 to 1938, Paris was served by an extensive tramway network, predating the metro by nearly a half-century. The last of these first generation tram routes, to Versailles, was closed in 1957.
Originally horse-powered, Paris trams used steam, and later pneumatic engines, and electricity.
The funicular that operated in Belleville from 1891 to 1924 is sometimes erroneously thought of as a tramway, but was actually a cable car system.
The first of a new generation of trams in Paris, line T1 opened in 1992, with line T2opening in 1997, line T4 on November 18, 2006, and line T3 on December 16, 2006. The newest lines, T5 and T7, opened on July 29, 2013 and November 16, 2013, respectively.

T1[edit]
Main article: Île-de-France tramway Line 1
Line T1 connects Saint-Denis to Noisy-le-Sec, parallel to the Paris northern city limit. It opened in 1992, and the extension to Noisy-le-Sec was completed in December 2003. An extension west to Asnières and Gennevilliers opened in November 2012, and a continuation to Nanterre is planned. An eastwards extension to Montreuil and to the Val de Fontenay RER station is planned and expected to be open in 2017.
T2[edit]
Main article: Île-de-France tramway Line 2
Line T2 (Trans Val-de-Seine) connects Pont de Bezons with Porte de Versailles via La Défense. It opened in 1997 between La Défense and Issy Val-de-Seine, mostly on converted SNCF right-of-way. An extension from Issy Val-de-Seine to Porte de Versailles opened in 2009 and a second extension from La Défense to Pont de Bezons opened in 2012.
T3a and T3b[edit]
Main article: Île-de-France tramway Line 3
Line T3 is the first modern tramway in Paris proper. It is divided into two sections called T3a and T3b. The line is also known as the tramway des Maréchaux because it follows the boulevards des maréchaux, a series of boulevards that encircle Paris along the route of the former Thiers Wall (built 1841–44). The boulevards are, with three exceptions, named for Napoleon'sFirst Empire marshals (maréchaux).
T3a connects Boulevard Victor – Pont du Garigliano RER station in the western part of the 15th arrondissement with Porte de Vincennes metro station in the 12th arrondissement.
T3b connects Porte de Vincennes with Porte de la Chapelle in the 18th arrondissement. T3b should be extended to Porte d'Asnières in 2017.
T4[edit]
Main article: Île-de-France tramway Line 4
Line T4 is an 8-kilometre (5.0 mi), 11-stop[2] tram-train line, operating in part on SNCF lines, connecting Bondy RER stationwith Aulnay-sous-Bois station. It opened on November 18, 2006. Unlike the other tramways in Île-de-France, T4 is operated by SNCF. A new branch of this tram-train line will be opened in 2017.
T5[edit]
Main article: Île-de-France tramway Line 5
Tramway T5[7] runs on tyres (i.e. Translohr)[8] along a mainly segregated "track" on the busy Route Nationale 1 (similar to the systems in Nancy or Caen), replacing the often busy bus lines 168 and 268. The 6.6-kilometre (4.1 mi) route[8] serves 16 stops[8] between Saint-Denis, Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, Sarcelles and Garges-lès-Gonesse. It has an interchange with T1 at its southerly terminus marché de Saint-Denis and with RER D at Garges-Sarcelles.[9] Line T5 opened in July 2013.[10]
T6[edit]
Main article: Île-de-France tramway Line 6
A 14-kilometre (8.7 mi) route on tires (with 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi) in tunnel) serving 21 stations (including 2 underground) will be built from Châtillon - Montrouge (terminus of metro ligne 13) to Viroflay - Rive Droite (Transilien railway station). The majority of the line opened in 2014, with the balance to open in 2016.
T7[edit]
Main article: Île-de-France tramway Line 7
An 11.2-kilometre (7.0 mi) route serving 18 stations[5] between Villejuif (terminus of Paris Métro Line 7) serving Rungis and Orly and terminating at Athis-Mons opened on 16 November 2013.[11] The line will be extended in 2018 to Juvisy-sur-Orge.
T8[edit]
Main article: Île-de-France tramway Line 8
Saint-Denis (Porte de Paris) - Épinay-sur-Seine (Quartier d'Orgemont), with a branch to Villetaneuse
Formerly to be known as "Tram'y", this 8.46-kilometre (5.26 mi) line was planned to serve 17 stations by 2013. Villetaneuse is also planned to be a future station on the new Tangental North line. An extension was also planned to the future RER E station proposed at Évangile. Construction began in 2010, and services are expected to begin in 2014.[11]
Planned lines[edit]
Several new lines of tramway and trams on tires have been planned in the region and on 11 February 2009 every project was re-assessed and given a "T" number by the STIF (the regional transport council of the Île-de-France). Posters began to appear in the metro from April 2009 promoting the entire 8‑route T system. In 2020 with all the new tram lines and extension planned the tram network will be 152 kilometres (94 mi) long.[citation needed]
T9[edit]
Planned line between Paris Porte de Choisy and the city of Orly, expected in 2020.
T10[edit]
Planned line from Antony to Clamart in the southwest suburbs of Paris, expected in 2021.
