The Château de Vincennes underground station is a double underground station on line 1 of the Paris Métro . It was one of the first metro stations to open outside the Paris metropolitan area and has been the eastern terminus of this line since 1934.
location
The facility is located under the eastern border of the Paris suburb of Vincennes to the Bois de Vincennes park , which belongs to the urban area of Paris ( 12th arrondissement ) . It is located alongside the Avenue de Nogent at the intersection with the Cours des Maréchaux - Cours Marigny.
Surname
It is named after the Château de Vincennes , located immediately southwest of the station , one of the most important castles in the history of France .
History and description
The underground station went into operation on March 24, 1934 with the 2,300 m long western extension of Line 1 from Porte de Vincennes to Château de Vincennes. At the beginning of the 1960s, the platforms were lengthened from 75 m to 90 m to accommodate six-car trains, and the line was rebuilt for operation with rubber-tired trains . In the course of the introduction of driverless operation, the platforms were raised in August and September 2008 and platform screen doors were installed later . Between May 2011 and December 2012, the changeover to operation with fully automatic trains took place.
The underground station consists of two parallel, adjacent stations. They each have a central platform between two tracks under elliptical vaulted ceilings. The wall between the two stations has multiple openings. The southern station is for incoming traffic, the white-tiled northern station for trains departing towards La Défense . There are entrances and exits at all platform ends. One of the eastern stairs leads under a covered bus stop.
To the east of the underground station is a multi-track turning and parking facility. Two tracks continue to the Ateliers de Fontenay depot , which was also opened in 1934 .
vehicles
Since the early 1930s, five-car trains painted gray (with a red 1st class car) of the Sprague-Thomson design ran on Line 1 and stayed there until the 1960s. From May 1963, the Sprague-Thomson trains, which ran on rails, were successively replaced by the MP 59 series with rubber-tyred vehicles , until December 1964 there was mixed traffic of the two modes of operation. The MP 89 CC series followed in 1997, which gave way to the MP 05 series with the start of automatic operation .
Others
RATP autonomous minibuses have been operating at the Château de Vincennes underground station since November 2017 . In August 2019 it was announced that the previously 500 m long test track would be extended in two stages to 2.5 km.
Remarks
- ↑ On the other lines, the trains (with the red 1st class car or compartment) stayed green
- ↑ CC means "Conduite Conducteur" (driver-controlled), in contrast to the driverless type MP 89 CA
