location
The metro station is located in the Quartier de Bercy in the 12th arrondissement of Paris . The station of line 6 is located lengthways under the Boulevard de Bercy east of its intersection with the Rue de Bercy. To the south of this intersection is the station for line 14 under Rue de Bercy.
Surname
The streets Rue de Bercy and Boulevard de Bercy give it its name. Bercy was a village outside the city walls that was incorporated into Paris in 1859.
history
The station on line 6 was put into operation on March 1, 1909 by the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP), when their route from Place d'Italie to Nation was opened. The opening of the building, completed in 1906, had been delayed by three years because the operating company wanted to avoid a deficit in the operation of this then peripheral section of the route. In July 1974 line 6 was switched to operation with rubber-tired trains .
On October 15, 1998, the station of the fully automated line 14 went into operation. The former entrance on Boulevard de Bercy, designed by Hector Guimard in the Art Nouveau style, has been replaced by a new building.
description
The station of line 6 is 75 m long, the side platforms on the two main tracks are 4 m wide. It lies under an elliptical , white-tiled ceiling vault, the side walls of which follow the curvature of the ellipse. To the west of its station, line 6 crosses line 14, exits the tunnel after a curve and reaches an open ramp that leads to the Pont de Bercy bridge over the Seine . To the east of the station there is a simple track change and a side siding, and there is also an operating track that branches off to line 14.
With a length of 120 m, the station on line 14 can accommodate eight-car trains. Their cross-section is rectangular, the platforms on two tracks are provided with platform screen doors. With a gradient of 41.66 ‰, the line leads south of the station under the tracks of the Gare de Bercy station, which it partially crosses in an elongated curve.
vehicles
Until 1974, Sprague-Thomson- type trains ran on Line 6 . In July of that year, the line was switched to rubber-tyred vehicles, and since then there have been trains from the MP 73 series consisting of three multiple units and two sidecars .
Line 14 is equipped with rubber-tyred, driverless trains from the MP 89 CA and MP 05 series .
