Grand Paris Express
The Grand Paris Express is a 2030 with planned and composed of six driverless metro lines network in Greater Paris. It will consist of the Metro lines 11, 14, and four other lines with the numbers 15, 16, 17 and 18. The planned network is also referred to as super métro automatique régional (regional fully automatic super subway). It should have a length of 200 kilometers and 72 stations and under the auspices of the Société du Grand Paris ( SGP ) and the Syndicat des transports d' Île -de -France ( STIF ) can be realized.
In 75 % of all stations of the lines 14 to 18 there will be a transfer possibility for a different quality of public transport in the region ( Métro, Transilien, RER, tram or busway line with their own lanes ).
Three quarters of the new lines will run underground: tunnels of 10 m diameter will be recording two tracks and run in an average of 30 m depth.
It is one of ten projects that would develop within the project Grand Paris this conurbation similar to Greater London to a metropolitan area. On 26 January 2011, the Grand Paris Express by an agreement of the Conseil régional d' Ile Region Government -de -France and the French State has been launched ..
Development of the surrounding region
Unlike the Paris Métro, the network is open less the city, but the surrounding areas, so parts of the Ile- de -France. Only four of the newly built subway stations are located in the suburbs of Paris. Only one of the six routes will be extended within Paris.
The planned routes
Line 11
The also driverless line 11 of the Paris Métro is extended in an easterly direction into two stages. First, by 2019 the extension Mairie des Lilas - Rosny- Bois- Perrier, and in a second phase of construction the 10 km long leg Rosny -Bois -Perrier to be built by Noisy- Champs in 2025. Probably not a driverless operation is first set up.
Line 14
The existing driverless line 14 of the Paris Métro will be integrated as Ligne Bleue (Blue Line ) to the system. It is in the north to Saint- Denis Pleyel, which is an important node in the system Grand Paris Express, since the lines 14, 15, 16 and 17 meet, and be renewed in the south to Orly airport. Thus, it crosses the urban area of Paris in about a north-south direction and passes through the south of Paris following cities: Le Kremlin- Bicêtre, Villejuif, Chevilly -Larue, Rungis and Paray -Vieille- Poste.
The schedule provides for the following:
- 2017: Extension to the North Saint Lazare - Mairie de Saint- Ouen
- 2023: Extension to the North Mairie de Saint- Ouen - Saint- Denis Pleyel
- 2023: Extension to the south: Olympiades - Villejuif- Gustave Roussy
- 2027: Extension to the south: the Gustave Roussy Villejuif - Orly Airport
The lines 11 and 14 bind the four emerging surrounding lines 15 to 18 on the Paris Metro network to.
Line 15
Line 15 is a ring line, which will circle the metropolitan area of Paris, more or less far outside the city limits. In the first phase of construction is 2020, the southern part of the track Pont de Sèvres - be built over Clamart, Montrouge, Vitry and Champigny Noisy- Champs. Completion of the total distance is 2030 provided.
Until 2025, the western arch Pont de Sèvres - Nanterre and the northeastern part of Saint- Denis Pleyel - Boisy -Champs go over Le Bourget, Aulnay, Clichy- Montfermeil and Chelles in operation. 2027 follows the section Nanterre - Saint- Denis Pleyel.
The Southeast clasp Rosny -Bois Perrier - Champigny is to be completed by 2030. One of the main node is the Val de Fontenay station to be with connections to two (already existing ) RER RER A and RER E to the T1 tram and metro line 1, which will be extended to this station until 2017 or 2025.
The total distance will be 75 km long and get 36 stations and operate a total of 19 municipalities. The maximum length of the trains will be 120 m, which gives them at a car body width of 2.40 meters, a capacity of 900 people per train. The line capacity is determined during the morning rush hour on 34,560 travelers per hour. The maximum speed is 100 km / h it can be a cruising speed of 56 km / h derived. The power supply is via a busbar.
Line 16
The line 16 connects the north of Paris ( link to the endpoint of the line 14) to the east in a wide arc. They will connect Saint- Denis Pleyel with Noisy- Champs. Intermediate nodes are Le Bourget RER, Aulnay -sous- Bois, Clichy- Montfermeil and Chelles. The line is the 5.5 km leg of Saint -Denis Pleyel about 25 km long and with the line 17 - Le Bourget have in common. It is the aim to develop the east of the department of Seine- Saint- Denis traffic-technically better. The line also crosses all radial distances of Paris in the Seine- et- Marne: The RER lines A, B and E, as well as various routes of Transilien.
In the morning rush hour headways in a distance of 3 to 4 minutes would be possible. Commissioning of the route is planned for the year 2023.
Line 17
The line 17 has the 5.5 km long section of Saint- Denis Pleyel - Le Bourget RER together with the line 16. Then, the line serves the Le Bourget airport, the industrial park Le Triangle of Gonesse, exhibition center Parc des Expositions de Paris -Nord Villepinte, the terminals T2 and T4 of the airport Charles de Gaulle. Terminus is Le Mesnil-Amelot. Overall, the route is 25 km long.
The line 17, thereby linking the communities of Le Bourget Gonesse and Roissy with the compression space around Saint- Denis, called the Plaine Saint- Denis. The route will run underground in essence, with the exception of the section between Triangle de Gonesse and the entrance to the tunnel under the airport Charles de Gaulle.
Planned completion dates for the various sections:
- 2025: Le Bourget RER - Triangle de Gonesse
- 2027: Triangle de Gonesse - Aéroport Charles de Gaulle ( T4)
- 2030: Aéroport Charles de Gaulle (T4 ) - Le Mesnil- Amelot
Line 18
The line 18 is located well outside the city in the southwest of Paris. It creates in the final stage, a 50 km link of Nanterre on Versailles to Orly Airport. As a weaker traffic than on the other lines is expected, presumably a web is built according to the VAL or Neoval principle.

- Section CEA Saint- Aubin - Massy: 2023
- Section Massy - Orly airport: 2027
- Section CEA Saint- Aubin - Versailles Chantiers: 2030
