description
The La Chapelle station is located on a 2.2 kilometer long viaduct section , it has two side platforms on two main tracks. The viaduct was built so that the tracks to the Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est stations , which are located in cuts on both sides of the station, do not have to be driven under in a deep tunnel .

Since it was not to be converted to vehicles with rubber tires in the medium term, the MF 67 series was launched in 1979 , completely replacing its predecessor within two years. Series vehicles of the MF 01 series have been used since 2008 , now exclusively, in the La Chapelle station.
